حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ، مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، كِلاَهُمَا عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " لاَ يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ خَبُثَتْ نَفْسِي . وَلَكِنْ لِيَقُلْ لَقِسَتْ نَفْسِي " . هَذَا حَدِيثُ أَبِي كُرَيْبٍ وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم . وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ " لَكِنْ " .
A'isha Narrated from:
A'isha reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) having said: None of you should say: "My soul has become evil," but he should say: "My soul has become remorseless." This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of Abu Bakr with a slight variation of wording.
[1] Khabuthat Nafsi and Laqisat Nafsi both mean more or less the same thing (I feel bad or I feel tired), but the word Khabuthat carries connotations of evil (cf. Khabîth ), so its use is discouraged.Reference : Sahih Muslim 2250aIn-book reference : Book 40, Hadith 17USC-MSA web (English) reference : Book 27, Hadith 5595
