حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرٌ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ
لَا يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ: عَبْدِي وَأَمَتِي، كُلُّكُمْ عَبِيدُ اللهِ، وَكُلُّ نِسَائِكُمْ إِمَاءُ اللهِ، وَلَكِنْ لِيَقُلْ: غُلَامِي وَجَارِيَتِي وَفَتَايَ وَفَتَاتِي.

in مسند أحمد, p. 10050 - Qurṭubī
اختلفوا في هذه الزيادة على الأعمش منهم من ذكرها ومنهم من حذفها وقال عياض حذفها أصح وقال القرطبي المشهور حذفها قال وإنما صرنا إلى الترجيح للتعارض مع تعذر الجمع
machine translationThey differed regarding this addition from al-Aʿmash: some of them mentioned it and some omitted it. ʿIyāḍ said: its omission is more authentic (aṣaḥḥ). Al-Qurṭubī said: the well-known position is its omission. He said: we resorted to preference (tarjīḥ) only because of the conflict, since reconciling them was not possible.
