Hadith 5, 40 Hadith Qudsi
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " قَالَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى: أَنَا أَغْنَى الشُّرَكَاءِ عَنْ الشِّرْكِ؛ مَنْ عَمِلَ عَمَلًا أَشْرَكَ مَعِي غَيْرِي(1)، تَرَكْتُهُ وَشِرْكَهُ". رواه مسلم (وكذلك ابن ماجه)

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him and grant him peace) said:
Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, said: ‘I am the least in need of partners in association. Whoever performs a deed in which he associates someone else with Me, I leave him and his association.’
It was related by Muslim (and likewise by Ibn Majah).

مَنْ عَمِلَ عَمَلًا أَشْرَكَ مَعِي غَيْرِي(1)،
The witness expands the second clause into an interpretation about whose sake the action was done and to whom it is renounced; those details are not stated explicitly in this Arabic wording. The Arabic also has a footnote marker (1), but no footnote text in this block.
Can the source and wording of the explanatory footnote and expanded witness rendering be confirmed independently?
