And when My slaves ask you (O Muhammad SAW) concerning Me, then (answer them),
I am indeed near (to them by My Knowledge). I respond to the invocations of the
supplicant when he calls on Me (without any mediator or intercessor). So let
them obey Me and believe in Me, so that they may be led aright.

slaves of Allâh, whom He choses (for His Mercy i.e. true believers of Islâmic
Monotheism who do not attribute false things unto Allâh).
Sunan of Abu-DawoodHadith 4957 Narrated byAbuHurayrah
The Prophet (peace be upon him) 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.
*Note:1.All
are Allah’s slaves[slave of Allah]
Note:2.none
must say my slave,my slave woman
Note:3
A slave can say “my Master”
Al-Muwatta Hadith Hadith 9.61 Waiting for The Prayer and Walking to It
Yahya
related to me from Malik from Abu'nNadr, the mawla of Umar ibn Ubaydullah, that
Abu Salama ibn Abd ar-Rahman asked him, "Didn't I see your master sit
down before praying after he had entered the mosque?"
Abu'n-Nadr
said, "By that he meant Umar ibn Ubaydullah, and he was finding fault with
him for sitting down before praying after he had come into the
mosque."Yahya said that Malik said, "It is good to do that but not
obligatory."
Sunan
of Abu-DawoodHadith 4756 Narrated
byAnas ibn Malik
I
served the Prophet (peace be upon him)
at Medina for ten years. I was a boy. Every work that I did was not according
to the desire of my master, but he never said to me: Fie, nor did he say
to me: Why did you do this? or Why did you not do this?
Sahih Muslim HadithHadith 4100 Narrated byAbuHurayrah
Allah's
Messenger (peace be upon him) said: When a slave fulfils obligation of Allah and
obligation of his master, there is dual reward for him. I narrated this to Ka'b, and Ka'b said:
(Such a slave) has not accountability, nor has a poor believer.
“It
is narrated by ‘Umar (رضي الله عنه)
that two Bedouins came to him disputing with each other. He said to ‘Alī (رضي
الله عنه): O Abū Hasan: decide
between these two. So he decided between them (and settled their dispute). One
of them said: Is he the only one left to decide between us? (At this) ‘Umar (رضي
الله عنه) moved towards him and
caught him by his collar and said: May you be dead! Do you know who he is? He
is my master and the master of every believer (and) one who does not
acknowledge him as his master is not a believer.”
Muhib
Tabarī has narrated this tradition in Dhakhā’ir-ul-‘uqbā fī
manāqib dhaw-il-qurbā (p.126), and says that Ibn Sammān has
mentioned it in his book al-Muwafaqah. He also narrated it in
ar-Riyād-un-nadrah fī manāqib-il-‘ashrah (3:128).

‘Umar
once said of Bilal: ‘Bilal is our master, and was emancipated by our master Abu
Bakr.’ I. Hajar, al-Isaba, 1.165.
"Shu‘bah
relates it from Salmah bin Kuhayl: I heard it from Abu Tufayl that Abu
Sarihah — or Zayd bin Arqam (Shu‘bah
has doubts about the narrator) — relates that the Prophet said: One who has me
as his master has ‘Ali as his master.
“Shu‘bah
has related the tradition from Maymum Abu ‘Abdullah, who related it on the
authority of Zayd bin Arqam and he has
related it from the Holy Prophet
Tirmidhi has declared it fair, sound and weak (hasan
sahih gharib) in al-Jami‘us-sahih, b. of manaqib (merits) 6:79 (#3713), and
Shu‘bh, in the manner of Maymun Abu ‘Abdullah, has also related it on the
authority of Zayd bin Arqam . Ahmad bin Hambal narrated it in
Fada’il-us-sahabah (2:569 # 959); Mahamili, Amali (p.85); Tabarani,
al-Mu‘jam-ul-kabir (5:195, 204 # 5071, 5096); Ibn Abi ‘Asim, as-Sunnah (pp.603,

“It
is related by Sa‘d bin Abi Waqas : I heard Allah’s Messenger say: One who has me as his master has ‘Ali
as his master. And I heard him say (to ‘Ali : You are in my place as Harun
was in Musa’s place, but there is no prophet after me. And I also heard him say
(on the occasion of the battle of Khaybar): Today I shall bestow the flag on
the person who loves Allah and His Messenger .”
Ibn Majah transmitted this sahih (sound) hadith in the preface (al-muqaddimah) to his Sunan (1:90 # 121); Ibn Abi ‘Asim, as-Sunnah (p.608 # 1386); Mizzi, Tuhfat-ul-ashraf bi-ma‘rifat-il-atraf (3:203 # 3901); and Nasa’i reproduced it with slightly different words in Khasa’is amir-il-mu’minim ‘Ali bin Abi Talib (pp. 32,33 #91).
“Bara’ bin ‘Azib narrates: We performed hajj with Allah’s Messenger . On the way he stayed at a place and commanded us (to establish) the prayer in congregation. After this, he held ‘Ali’s hand, and said: Am I not nearer than the lives of the believers? They replied: Why not! He said: Am I not nearer than the life of every believer? They replied: Why not! He said: One who has me as his master has this (‘Ali) as his guardian. O Allah! Befriend the one who befriends him and be the enemy of one who is his enemy.”
Ibn
Majah narrated this sound hadith (tradition) in preface (al-muqaddimah) to his
Sunan (1:88 # 116); Ibn Kathir, al-Bidayah wan-nihayah (4:168); Hindi,
Kanz-ul-‘ummal (11:602 # 32904); Ibn ‘Asakir, Tarikh Dimashq al-kabir (45:167,
168); and Ibn ‘Abi ‘Asim briefly mentioned in as-Sunnah (p.603 # 1362).
Sahih Muslim HadithHadith 131 Narrated byJarir ibn Abdullah
The
Prophet (peace be upon him) said: When the slave runs away from his master, his
prayer is not accepted.
The
Book of Faith (Kitab Al-Iman) Muslim ::
Book 1 : Hadith 210
It
is narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira: We went to Khaibar along with the
Apostle (may peace be upon him) and Allah granted us victory. We plundered
neither gold nor silver but laid our hands on goods, corn and clothes, and then
bent our stops to a valley; along with the Messenger of Allah (may peace be
upon him) there was a slave who was presented to him by one Rifa'a b. Zaid of
the family of Judham, a tribe of Dubayb. When we got down into the valley
the slave of the Messenger of Allah stood up and began to unpack the
saddle-bag and was suddenly struck by a (stray) arrow which proved fatal. We
said: There is a greeting for him, Messenger of Allah, as he is a martyr. Upon
this the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) remarked: Nay, not so. By
Him in Whose hand is the life of Muhammad, the small garment which he stole
from the booty on the day of Khaibar but which did not (legitimately) fall to
his lot is burning like the Fire (of Hell) on him. The people were greatly
perturbed (on hearing this). A person came there with a lace or two laces and
said: Messenger of Allah, I found (them) on the day of Khaibar. He (the Holy
Prophet) remarked: This is a lace of fire or two laces of fire.
*Note:If
a person is really a slave ,then he or she can be addressed as “Slave of so and
so”……Like the actual slave of Messenger of Allah can be addressed as such.
Saying”the
freed slave of Ibn 'Abbas” is permitted
The
Book of Prayers (Kitab Al-Salat) Muslim
:: Book 4 : Hadith 1672
Kuraib,
the freed slave of Ibn 'Abbas, reported that Ibn 'Abbas narrated to him
that he spent a night in the house of Maimuna, the mother of the believers, who
was his mother's sister. I lay down across the cushion, whereas the Messenger
of Allah (may peace be upon him) and his wife lay down on it length-wise. The
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) slept up till midnight, or a little
before midnight of a little after midnight, and then got up and began to cast
off the effects of sleep from his face by rubbing with his hand, and then
recited the ten concluding verses of Surah 'Imran. He then stood up near a
hanging water-skin and performed ablution well, and then stood up and prayed,
'Ibn 'Abbas said: I also stood up and did the same, as the Messenger of Allah
(may peace be upon him) had done, and then went to him and stood by his side.
The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) placed his right hand upon my
head and took hold of my right ear and twistedit, and then observed a pair of
rak'ahs, again a pair of rak'ahs, again a pair of rak'ahs, again a pair of
rak'ahs, again a pair of rak'ahs, again a pair of rak'ahs, and then observed
Witr and then lay down till the Mu'adhdhin came to him. He (the Holy Prophet)
then stood up and observed two short rak'ahs, and then went out (to the mosque)
and observed the dawn prayer.
*Note:If
a person is really a slave ,then he or she can be addressed as “Slave of so and
so”……
Manumission
of Slaves Bukhari :: Book 3 :: Volume
46 :: Hadith 710 Narrated 'Aisha:
Utba
bin Abi Waqqas authorized his brother Sad bin Abi Waqqas to take the son of the
slave-girl of Zam'a into his custody, telling him that the boy was his own
(illegal) son. When Allah's Apostle went (to Mecca) at the time of the
Conquest, Sad took the son of the slavegirl of Zam'a to Allah's Apostle and
also brought 'Abu bin Zam'a with him and said, "O Allah's Apostle! This is
the son of my brother 'Utba who authorized me to take him into my
custody." 'Abu bin Zam'a said, "O Allah's Apostle! He is my brother,
the son of Zam'a' slave-girl and he was born on his bed." Allah's Apostle
looked at the son of the slave-girl of Zam'a and noticed much resemblance (to
'Utba). Allah's Apostle said, "It is for you, O 'Abu bin Zam'a as he was
born on the bed of your father." Allah's Apostle then told Sauda bint
Zam'a to observe veil in the presence of the boy as he noticed the boy's
resemblance to 'Utba and Sauda was the wife of the Prophet .
*Note:If
a person is really a slave ,then he or she can be addressed as “Slave of so and
so”……
Marriage Malik :: Book 28 : Hadith 28.15.38
Yahya
related to me from Malik from Ibrahim ibn Abi Abla from Abd al-Malik ibn Marwan
that he gave a slave-girl to a friend of his, and later asked him about her. He
said, "I intended to give her to my son to do such-and-such with
her." Abd al-Malik said, "Marwan was more scrupulous
than you. He gave a slave-girl to his son, and then he said, 'Do not go near
her, for I have seen her leg uncovered .' "
*Note:If
Muslims name themselves with the name of Allah then they must prefix Abd[slave]
before the name of Allah subhanawatala.
For
example.In Abd al Malik name,Malik is the name of Allah,abd al is the prefix
which means salve of.Hence its Slave of Malik.
Witnesses Bukhari :: Book 3 :: Volume 48 :: Hadith 831
Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ashari:
The
Prophet heard someone praising another and exaggerating in his praise. The Prophet
said, "You have ruined or cut the man's back (by praising him so much).
Prophets Bukhari :: Book 4 :: Volume 55 :: Hadith 654
Narrated 'Umar:
I
heard the Prophet saying, "Do not exaggerate in praising me as the
Christians praised the son of Mary, for I am only a Slave. So, call me the
Slave of Allah and His Apostle."
Good
Manners and Form (Al-Adab) Bukhari ::
Book 8 :: Volume 73 :: Hadith 86 Narrated Abu Musa:
The
Prophet heard a man praising another man and he was exaggerating in his praise.
The Prophet said (to him). "You have destroyed (or cut) the back of the
man."
*Note:Prophet
Muhammad peace be upon him choosed to be called “slave of Allah” so muslims
should also follow his path.
1.there
is no concept of calling each other slaves unless they are or were the slaves
in reality[the slaves of slavery]
2.there
is no concept of calling onself slaves of prophet among sahaba even though they
were the best of generation.
3.the
best title is "slave of Allah",so we r slaves of Allah and rasool Allah
is our master.rasool Allah himself choosed the title"slave of Allah"
so follow him.loving him means doing wht he did ,not doing that which he or his
sahaba never did.
Allah
knows best.
