Sahih al-Bukhari 3429 (Book 60, Hadith 100) #3278
The Meaning of Wrong in Belief

SUMMARY: This hadith explains the meaning of a verse from the Quran which states that one should not mix their belief with wrong. It further explains that wrong means to associate others in worship with Allah, and gives an example of Luqman's advice to his son.

Narrated 'Abdullah: When the Verse:-- 'Those who believe and mix not their belief with wrong'. was revealed, the Muslims felt it very hard on them and said, "O Allah's Messenger ! Who amongst us does not do wrong to himself?" He replied, "The Verse does not mean this. But that (wrong) means to associate others in worship to Allah: Don't you listen to what Luqman said to his son when he was advising him," O my son! Join not others in worship with Allah. Verily joining others in worship with Allah is a great wrong indeed". (31:13)
حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ لَمَّا نَزَلَتِ ‏{‏الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَلَمْ يَلْبِسُوا إِيمَانَهُمْ بِظُلْمٍ‏}‏ شَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ، فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَيُّنَا لاَ يَظْلِمُ نَفْسَهُ قَالَ ‏"‏ لَيْسَ ذَلِكَ، إِنَّمَا هُوَ الشِّرْكُ، أَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا مَا قَالَ لُقْمَانُ لاِبْنِهِ وَهْوَ يَعِظُهُ ‏{‏يَا بُنَىَّ لاَ تُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّ الشِّرْكَ لَظُلْمٌ عَظِيمٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about understanding what it means to do wrong in terms of belief. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was asked by his companions who among them did not do wrong, and he replied that it does not mean this but rather it means associating others in worship with Allah. He then gave an example from the Quran, where Luqman advised his son not to join others in worship with Allah as this is a great wrong indeed. This hadith teaches us that we should be careful when worshipping God and make sure we are only worshipping Him alone without associating any other being or thing alongside Him. We must also remember that even if we think our actions are small or insignificant, they can still be considered as a great wrong if they involve associating something else alongside God when worshipping Him.
