How do we reconcile the saying of Allah the Exalted: “And marry the unmarried among you and the righteous among your male slaves and female slaves” with the prohibition

Question:
How do we reconcile the saying of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, in Surat al-Nur: “And marry the unmarried among you and the righteous among your male slaves and female slaves” with the prohibition of the Messenger in his saying: “Let none of you say, ‘My slave’ or ‘My maidservant’”?

Answer:
Answer: Yes, what a person says is what he says, “My slave.” As for the verse, it is general. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, named them “our slaves.” What is prohibited is for a person himself to say, “This is my slave.”
