عَن ابْن مَسْعُود قَالَ: لَمَّا نَزَلَتْ: (الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَلَمْ يَلْبِسُوا إِيمانهم بظُلْم) شَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَالُوا: يَا رَسُول اله: أَيُّنَا لَمْ يَظْلِمْ نَفْسِهِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: " لَيْسَ ذَاكَ إِنَّمَا هُوَ الشِّرْكُ أَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا قَوْلَ لُقْمَانَ لِابْنِهِ: (يَا بني لَا تُشْرِكْ بِاللَّهِ إِنَّ الشِّرْكَ لَظُلْمٌ عَظِيمٌ؟) فِي رِوَايَةٍ: «لَيْسَ هُوَ كَمَا تَظُنُّونَ إِنَّمَا هُوَ كَمَا قَالَ لُقْمَان لِابْنِهِ» . مُتَّفق عَلَيْهِ
Ibn Mas'ud Narrated from:
When the verse: الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَلَمْ يَلْبِسُوا إِيمَانَهُمْ بِظُلْمٍ..... الخ {Those who believe and have not confounded their faith with zulm (evil-doing)...} (6: 82) was revealed, that seemed very difficult to the sahabah (Prophet's Companions) رضي الله عنهم of Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم.They submitted, "O Messenger of Allah, which of us has not wronged his self?" So, Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "That is not so. It refers only to polytheism. Have you not heard the saying of Luqman to his son (exhorting him): {O my son! Associate not others with Allah. Surely associating others (with Him) is a mighty zulm (evil).} According to another version: "That is not as you imagine but that is only as Luqman instructed his son." [1]
