Chapter 43 · General Behavior (Kitab Al-Adab)لاَ يَقُولُ الْمَمْلُوكُ " رَبِّي وَرَبَّتِي "
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيل، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، وَحَبِيبِ بْنِ الشَّهِيدِ، وَهِشَامٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: لَا يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ: عَبْدِي وَأَمَتِي، وَلَا يَقُولَنَّ الْمَمْلُوكُ: رَبِّي وَرَبَّتِي، وَلْيَقُلِ الْمَالِكُ: فَتَايَ وَفَتَاتِي، وَلْيَقُلِ الْمَمْلُوكُ: سَيِّدِي وَسَيِّدَتِي، فَإِنَّكُمُ الْمَمْلُوكُونَ، وَالرَّبُّ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ .

The slave should not say Rabbi or Rabbati (My lord, My lady)
The Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: None of you must say: My slave (abdi) and My slave-woman (amati), and a slave must not say: My lord (rabbi or rabbati). The master (of a slave) should say: My young man (fataya) and My young woman (fatati), and a slave should say My master (sayyidi) and My mistress (sayyidati), for you are all (Allah's slave and the Lord is Allah, Most High.
