Sunan Abi DawudHadith Number 4978
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " لاَ يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ خَبُثَتْ نَفْسِي وَلْيَقُلْ لَقِسَتْ نَفْسِي " .
Abu Umamah bin Sahl bin Hunaif Narrated from:
Abu Umamah b. Sahl b. Hunaif quoted his father as saying : None of you must say Khabuthat nafsi (My heart is heaving), but one should say Laqisat nafsi (My heart is being annoyed).
[1] Both phrases have the same meaning, which is feeling nauseous, but the phrase Khabuthat nafsi may also mean "I have become wicked" whereas the phrase Laqisat nafsi has no such connotation.Reference : Sunan Abi Dawud 4978In-book reference : Book 43, Hadith 206English translation : Book 42, Hadith 4960
