حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى : " لِأَهْوَنِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ عَذَابًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ : لَوْ أَنَّ لَكَ مَا فِي الْأَرْضِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ أَكُنْتَ تَفْتَدِي بِهِ " ، فَيَقُولُ : نَعَمْ ، فَيَقُولُ : " أَرَدْتُ مِنْكَ أَهْوَنَ مِنْ هَذَا ، وَأَنْتَ فِي صُلْبِ آدَمَ ، أَنْ لَا تُشْرِكَ بِي شَيْئًا ، فَأَبَيْتَ إِلَّا أَنْ تُشْرِكَ بِي " .
Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet said, "Allah will say to the person who will have the minimum punishment in the Fire on the Day of Resurrection, 'If you had things equal to whatever is on the earth, would you ransom yourself (from the punishment) with it?' He will reply, Yes. Allah will say, 'I asked you a much easier thing than this while you were in the backbone of Adam, that is, not to worship others besides Me, but you refused and insisted to worship others besides Me."'

Hadith Commentary:
On the Day of Resurrection, the disbelievers who are seized by Allah’s punishment will not attain salvation in any way. Allah, exalted is He, will say to them what is mentioned in the hadith solely to humiliate and disgrace them.
The statement of Allah, the Exalted, is:
“Indeed, those who disbelieved and died while they were disbelievers—never would the [whole] earth full of gold be accepted from any one of them if he would [seek to] ransom himself with it.” ()
Rather, with even greater clarity and explicitness, He said:
“As for those who disbelieve, if they possessed all that is in the earth and as much again with it to ransom themselves thereby from the punishment on the Day of Resurrection, it would not be accepted from them.” ()

Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: "You were in the loins of Adam" refers to the Covenant of Lordship (Mithaq-e-Rububiyyah) or the Covenant of Alast, which is mentioned in the Noble Qur’an in "And [mention] when your Lord took from the children of Adam..." It is stated that before creating human beings in this world, it was already made clear to them and a firm promise was taken from them that they should not associate anyone with Allah. Human nature, intellect and consciousness, and through the Prophets and Messengers and the revealed Books and Scriptures, this covenant has been repeatedly reminded. However, despite this, the majority of humans, afflicted with the deadly disease of shirk (associating partners with Allah), are becoming fuel for Hell.
