Yahya ibn Ayyub, Qutaybah, and Ibn Hujr narrated to us; they said: Isma'il — that is, Ibn Ja'far — narrated to us, from al-'Ala', from his father, from Abu Hurayrah, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "None of you should say 'my slave' (ʿabdī) or 'my slave-girl' (amatī). All of you are slaves of Allah, and all your women are slave-girls of Allah. Rather, let him say 'my young man' (ghulāmī), 'my young woman' (jāriyatī), 'my boy' (fatāya), and 'my girl' (fatātī)."
