The Power of Words

SUMMARY: It is recommended to use the phrase "Laqisat Nafsi" instead of "Khabuthat Nafsi".

Narrated Sal: The Prophet said, "None of you should say Khabuthat Nafsi but he is recommended to say Laqisat Nafsi
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ خَبُثَتْ نَفْسِي، وَلَكِنْ لِيَقُلْ لَقِسَتْ نَفْسِي ‏"‏‏.‏ تَابَعَهُ عُقَيْلٌ‏.‏

QUICK LESSONS:
Speak positively and kindly towards oneself and others.
EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us that our words have power. He advised us to choose our words carefully and not to say anything negative about ourselves. Instead of saying something like “I am bad” or “I am worthless” we should say something positive like “I can improve” or “I will try my best”. This hadith reminds us that our words can have a big impact on how we think and feel about ourselves and others. We should always strive to speak positively and kindly in order to create a better world for everyone around us.
