Sufyān ibn ʿUyaynah said, “ ‘Malik al-Amlāk’ is like ‘Shahanshah.’ ”

321 – Chapter: The prohibition of addressing a flagrant sinner, an innovator, and the like as ‘Sayyid’ (master) or similar titles.

1734 – Buraydah, may Allah be pleased with him, said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ declared, “Do not say ‘Sayyid’ to a hypocrite, for if he really is a master you will have angered your Lord, the Mighty and Majestic.” Reported by Abu Dawud with an authentic chain.

322 – Chapter: The discouragement of reviling fever.

1735 – Jābir, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ visited Umm al-Sāʾib, or Umm al-Musayyib, and asked, “What is the matter with you, O Umm al-Sāʾib—or O Umm al-Musayyib—that you are trembling?” She replied, “It is fever; may Allah not bless it!” He said, “Do not revile fever, for it removes the sins of the children of Adam just as the bellows (2) removes the dross of iron.” Narrated by Muslim.

“Tuzafzifīn” means “you are moving rapidly,” that is, you are trembling. It is pronounced with a ḍamma on the tāʾ and a doubled zayn and fāʾ. Another rendition has a doubled rāʾ and two qāfs.
