«إن الله تعالى يقول: لأهون أهل النار عذابا لو أن لك ما في الأرض من شيء كنت تفتدي به؟ قال: نعم قال: فقد سألتك ما هو أهون من هذا وأنت في صلب آدم أن لا تشرك بي شيئا فأبيت إلا الشرك!»
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"Indeed, Allah Almighty will say to the person in Hell with the lightest punishment: 'If you had everything on the earth, would you give it as a ransom to be released (from this punishment)?' He will say: 'Yes.' Allah Almighty will say: 'When you were in the loins of Adam, I asked of you something far easier than this: that you associate nothing with Me; but you refused everything except associating partners with Me.'"
