Sahih al-Bukhari 6918 (Book 88, Hadith 1) #6650
Joining Others in Worship with Allah is Wrong

SUMMARY: This hadith explains that joining others in worship with Allah is a great wrong and it is not meant by the verse 6:82.

Narrated 'Abdullah: When the Verse: 'It is those who believe and confuse not their belief with wrong (ie, worshipping others besides Allah): (6:82) was revealed, it became very hard on the companions of the Prophet and they said, "Who among us has not confused his belief with wrong (oppression)?" On that, Allah's Apostle said, "This is not meant (by the Verse). Don't you listen to Luqman's statement: 'Verily! Joining others in worship with Allah is a great wrong indeed'. (31:13)
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ ‏{‏الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَلَمْ يَلْبِسُوا إِيمَانَهُمْ بِظُلْمٍ‏}‏ شَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ وَقَالُوا أَيُّنَا لَمْ يَلْبِسْ إِيمَانَهُ بِظُلْمٍ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِذَاكَ، أَلاَ تَسْمَعُونَ إِلَى قَوْلِ لُقْمَانَ ‏{‏إِنَّ الشِّرْكَ لَظُلْمٌ عَظِيمٌ‏}‏‏"‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the importance of worshipping only Allah and not joining any other gods or idols. It was revealed to Prophet Muhammad when his companions were confused about the verse 6:82 which states that it is those who believe and confuse not their belief with wrong. On hearing this, they asked who among them has not confused their belief with wrong. To this, Prophet Muhammad replied by quoting Luqman's statement from Surah Luqman 31:13 which states that joining others in worship with Allah is a great wrong indeed. This hadith teaches us to be careful of our beliefs and actions as we should only worship one God - Allah - without associating any partners or idols to Him. We should also be mindful of our words and actions as they can lead us astray from the right path if we are not careful enough.
