‘Abd Allah reported: ‘When the verse “Those who believe and do not mix their faith with wrongdoing…” (Qur’an 6:82) was revealed, it troubled the Muslims. They asked, “Messenger of Allah, who among us has not wronged himself?” He replied, “That is not what it means; it means associating partners with Allah. Have you not heard what Luqman said to his son: ‘My son, do not associate partners with Allah; associating partners is indeed a great injustice’?” (Qur’an 31:13).’ Abu ‘Isa graded this hadith hasan sahih.
