The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it valid to say the supplication reported regarding a wife, a servant, and a mount, “O Allah, I ask You for her good, the good in her, and the good for which You created her,” even for a servant?

The Shaykh:
One brings what was reported: asking for her good and the good for which she was created. The servant, the slave, meaning she is not a hired servant, no, a slave, yes.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,

The questioner:
This questioner says: Is it understood from the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

The Shaykh:
Do you take the hired servant by the forelock? This is not permissible; the intended meaning is the slave. Yes.
