حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ : "

لَا يَقُلْ أَحَدُكُمْ أَطْعِمْ رَبَّكَ وَضِّئْ رَبَّكَ اسْقِ رَبَّكَ ، وَلْيَقُلْ سَيِّدِي مَوْلَايَ ، وَلَا يَقُلْ أَحَدُكُمْ عَبْدِي أَمَتِي ، وَلْيَقُلْ فَتَايَ وَفَتَاتِي وَغُلَامِي
