Sahih al-Bukhari 6937 (Book 88, Hadith 19) #6668
Worshipping None But Allah

SUMMARY: The hadith explains the meaning of a verse from the Quran, which is that one should not associate any other being with Allah in worship.

Narrated 'Abdullah: When the Verse:--'Those who believe and did not confuse their belief with wrong (worshipping others besides Allah)'. (6:82) was revealed, it was hard on the companions of the Prophet and they said, "Who among us has not wronged (oppressed) himself?" Allah's Messenger said, "The meaning of the Verse is not as you think, but it is as Luqman said to his son, 'O my son! Join not in worship others with Allah, Verily! Joining others in worship with Allah is a great wrong indeed'." (31:13)
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا وَكِيعٌ، ح حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، رضى الله عنه قَالَ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ ‏{‏الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَلَمْ يَلْبِسُوا إِيمَانَهُمْ بِظُلْمٍ‏}‏ شَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ وَقَالُوا أَيُّنَا لَمْ يَظْلِمْ نَفْسَهُ‏.‏ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ لَيْسَ كَمَا تَظُنُّونَ‏.‏ إِنَّمَا هُوَ كَمَا قَالَ لُقْمَانُ لاِبْنِهِ ‏{‏يَا بُنَىَّ لاَ تُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّ الشِّرْكَ لَظُلْمٌ عَظِيمٌ‏}‏‏"‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains a verse from the Quran which states that one should not associate any other being with Allah in worship. It was revealed to Prophet Muhammad and his companions found it difficult to understand. To explain this further, Prophet Muhammad mentioned an example of Luqman's advice to his son about worshipping none but Allah. This hadith teaches us that we must only worship Allah and no one else as associating anyone else with Him is wrong and a great sin indeed. We must also remember that even if we have wronged ourselves in some way, it does not mean that we can associate anyone else with Him in worship as this is still considered wrong according to Islam.
