Al-Lu'lu Wal-MarjanHadith Number 1452
حديث عَائِشَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، قَالَ: لَا يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ خَبُثَتْ نَفْسِي، وَلكِنْ لِيَقُلْ لَقِسَتْ نَفْسِي.
A'isha Narrated from:
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.
