Sahih Muslim 2805a (Book 52, Hadith 37) #14136
The Consequences of Associating Partners with Allah

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the consequences of associating partners with Allah and how one should not do so even if it means sacrificing all worldly riches.

Anas b. Malik reported Allah's Messenger as saying: Allah, the Exalted and High, would say to one who shall have to undergo the least torture (on the Day of Resurrection): Would you like to go as ransom if you had all worldly riches; he would say: Yes. Allah would say to him: When you were in the loins of Adam, I demanded from you something easier than this that you should not associate anything with Me. (The narrator says): I think He also said: I would not cause you to enter Hell-Fire but you defied and attributed Divinity (to others besides Me).
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الْعَنْبَرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى لأَهْوَنِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ عَذَابًا لَوْ كَانَتْ لَكَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا أَكُنْتَ مُفْتَدِيًا بِهَا فَيَقُولُ نَعَمْ فَيَقُولُ قَدْ أَرَدْتُ مِنْكَ أَهْوَنَ مِنْ هَذَا وَأَنْتَ فِي صُلْبِ آدَمَ أَنْ لاَ تُشْرِكَ - أَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ - وَلاَ أُدْخِلَكَ النَّارَ فَأَبَيْتَ إِلاَّ الشِّرْكَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the consequences of associating partners with Allah, which is a major sin in Islam. It tells us that on the Day of Resurrection, those who have committed this sin will be asked if they would like to go as ransom for all their worldly riches, and when they agree, Allah will remind them that He had asked something easier from them - not to associate anything with Him. It also implies that despite this disobedience, Allah still has mercy and does not want to punish them by sending them to Hellfire. This teaches us that we should always strive to obey God's commands and stay away from sins such as shirk or associating partners with Him.
