Hadith 56

Al-Adab Al-Mufrad

Book 33: Sayings

Chapter 352

Someone should not say, "khabuthat nafsi"* (an expression meaning "I am overcome with nausea")

بَابُ لا يَقُلْ‏:‏ خَبُثَتْ نَفْسِي

Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 809
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، قَالَ‏:‏ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ‏:‏ لاَ يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ‏:‏ خَبُثَتْ نَفْسِي، وَلَكِنْ لِيَقُلْ‏:‏ لَقِسَتْ نَفْسِي‏.‏
'A'isha reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "None of you should say, 'khabuthat nafsi'. He should say, 'Laqisat nafsi.'"
