Abd (عبد ) – Slave/Servant

أقول‏ وَ رَوَى الْكُلَيْنِيُّ فِي الصَّحِيحِ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ الْحَذَّاءِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ع قَالَ: إِذَا قَرَأَ أَحَدُكُمُ السَّجْدَةَ مِنَ الْعَزَائِمِ فَلْيَقُلْ فِي سُجُودِهِ سَجَدْتُ لَكَ تَعَبُّداً وَ رِقّاً لَا مُسْتَكْبِراً عَنْ عِبَادَتِكَ وَ لَا مُسْتَنْكِفاً وَ لَا مُتَعَظِّماً بَلْ أَنَا عَبْدٌ ذَلِيلٌ خَائِفٌ مُسْتَجِيرٌ.

And it is reported by Al-Kulayni in ‘Al Saheeh’ (correct Hadeeth), from Abu Ubeyda Al-Haza’a, from Abu Abdullah-asws having said: ‘Whenever one of you recites (a Verse of Sajdah) from the Determined (Verses), let him say in his Sajdah, ‘I am doing Sajdah to You-azwj in servitude and submission, neither being arrogant from worshipping You-azwj, nor disapproving, nor considering myself too exalted, ‘أَنَا عَبْدٌ ذَلِيلٌ ’ but I am a humiliated servant, fearing, seeking shelter’.[1]
