[1] (H.1449) 'I am Ad-Dahr ' means 'I am the Creator of time, and I manage the affairs of all creation including Time.' One should not attribute anything, whether cheerful or disastrous, to Time, for everything is in the Hands of Allâh, and only He is the Disposer of everything.
حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنها، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: قَالَ اللهُ ﷿ يُؤْذِينِي ابْنُ آدَمَ، يَسُبُّ الدَّهْرَ، وَأَنَا الدَّهْرُ، بِيَدِي الأَمْرُ، أُقَلِّبُ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ.
Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Allâh said, 'The son of Adam annoys me for he abuses Ad-Dahr (the Time) though I am Ad-Dahr, in My Hands are all things, and I cause the revolution of day and night.'" ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 351, Vol. 6 )
40/2. Chapter:
حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنها، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: وَيَقُولُونَ الْكَرْمُ إِنَّمَا الْكَرْمُ قَلبُ الْمُؤْمِنِ.
Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, ["Do not call (or name) the grapes ' Al-Karm ']. And they say Al-Karm (the generous), and Al-Karm is only the heart of a believer." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 202, Vol. 8 )
40/3. Chapter:
حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنها، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: لَا يَقُلْ أَحَدُكُمْ أَطْعِمْ رَبَّكَ، وَضِّى رَبَّكَ، اسْقِ رَبَّكَ وَلْيَقُلْ سَيِّدِي، مَوْلَايَ وَلَا يَقُلْ أَحَدُكُمْ عَبْدِي، أَمَتِي وَلْيَقُلْ فَتَايَ وَفَتَاتِي وَغُلَامِي.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "You should not say, 'Feed your lord ( Rabbaka ), help your lord in performing ablution, or give water to your lord,' but should say, 'My master (e.g. Feed your master instead of lord, etc.) ( Saiyidî )', or 'My guardian ( Maulâi )', and one should not say 'My slave ( Abdî )', or 'My girl-slave ( Amatî )', but he should say, 'My lad ( Fatâi )', 'My lass ( Fatâtî )', and 'My boy ( Ghûlami )' ". ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 728, Vol. 3 )
40/4. Chapter:
حديث عَائِشَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، قَالَ: لَا يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ خَبُثَتْ نَفْسِي، وَلكِنْ لِيَقُلْ لَقِسَتْ نَفْسِي.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "None of you should say ' Khabuthat nafsi ' but he is recommended to say ' Laqisat nafsi '". [1] ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 198, Vol. 8 )
[1] Both expressions give the same meaning, but the first one ( Khabuthat nafsi ) has other meanings as well, e.g. I have become wicked. ' Laqisat nafsi ' means only 'I have been overcome by nausea because of a full stomach.' This is why the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم recommended the last expression which has no unpleasant connotations.
حديث سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، قَالَ: لَا يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ خَبُثَتْ نَفْسِي، وَلكِنْ لِيَقُلْ لَقِسَتْ نَفْسِي.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "None of you should say ' Khabuthat Nafsi ' but he is recommended to say ' Laqisat Nafsi '". ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 199, Vol. 8 )
