Explanation of the Chapter: "The Chapter on Not Saying 'My Slave'"

The Shaykh : The chapter is the one hundred and sixth.
"The Chapter on Not Saying 'My Slave'"
Among the etiquettes that Allah (Mighty and Majestic) has made obligatory upon masters is that they should not address their slave as "my slave." This is because servitude, even in terms of wording, is a right belonging to Allah over His servants. Therefore, a master should not address his slave as "my slave," just as a slave should not address his master as "my Lord." This is because the name "Lord" is specific to Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and likewise, the slave is devoted to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) through his affiliation to Him.
