Hadith 4031

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ : الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَلَمْ يَلْبِسُوا إِيمَانَهُمْ بِظُلْمٍ سورة الأنعام آية 82 ، قَالُوا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، فَأَيُّنَا لَا يَظْلِمُ نَفْسَهُ ؟ قَالَ : لَيْسَ ذَاكَ ، " هُوَ الشِّرْكَ ، أَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا مَا قَالَ لُقْمَانُ لِابْنِهِ : لا تُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّ الشِّرْكَ لَظُلْمٌ عَظِيمٌ سورة لقمان آية 13 " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that when this blessed verse was revealed: «﴿الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَلَمْ يَلْبِسُوا إِيمَانَهُمْ بِظُلْمٍ . . . . .﴾» [الأنعام : 82] "Those who believe and do not mix their belief with injustice..." this was very hard on the people and they said: O Messenger of Allah! Who among us has not wronged himself? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It does not mean what you think it means. Have you not heard what the righteous servant (Luqman, peace be upon him) said to his son: 'My dear son! Do not associate anyone with Allah, for indeed associating partners with Allah is a great injustice.' In this verse, what is meant is only shirk (associating partners with Allah)."
