the command works nicely in fish terminal :

source ~/.config/fish/config.fish

and this is a related fish function in the config.fish

function sf
  command source ~/.config/fish/config.fish
end

when I run it I get this error :

Command 'source' not found, did you mean:

  command 'gource' from deb gource (0.51-1build1)

Try: sudo apt install <deb name>

~/.config/fish/config.fish (line 59): 
  command source ~/.config/fish/config.fish
          ^
in function 'sf'

any help is appreciated!

source is not an external command - there is no /usr/bin/source to execute. There can't be, as source needs to be able to alter the environment of the current shell, so it has to be a builtin.

Simply leave off the command.
