Sahih al-Bukhari 3334
حَدَّثَنَا قَيْسُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيِّ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، يَرْفَعُهُ " أَنَّ اللَّهَ، يَقُولُ لأَهْوَنِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ عَذَابًا لَوْ أَنَّ لَكَ مَا فِي الأَرْضِ مِنْ شَىْءٍ كُنْتَ تَفْتَدِي بِهِ قَالَ نَعَمْ. قَالَ فَقَدْ سَأَلْتُكَ مَا هُوَ أَهْوَنُ مِنْ هَذَا وَأَنْتَ فِي صُلْبِ آدَمَ أَنْ لاَ تُشْرِكَ بِي. فَأَبَيْتَ إِلاَّ الشِّرْكَ ".
Qays ibn Hafs narrated to us: Khalid ibn al-Harith narrated to us: Shuʿba narrated to us, from Abu ʿImran al-Jawni, from Anas, attributing it to the Prophet ﷺ: ‘Allah will say to the one receiving the lightest punishment among the people of the Fire: If you had everything on earth, would you ransom yourself with it? He will say, Yes. Allah will say: I asked you for something easier than this when you were in Adam’s loins: that you not associate anything with Me. But you insisted on associating partners with Me.’
Translation notes
Preserved the contrast between the ransom and the earlier, easier demand not to associate partners with Allah.
