From the commentary on the Book of Tawheed by Shaykhul-Islaam Muhammad bin Abdil-Wahhaab may Allaah have mercy on him, 84-86th, Lesson,

By our Shaykh, the ‘Allāmah, the Trustworthy Advisor, Abu ‘Abdirrahmān Yahya bin ‘Ali Al-Hajūri – may Allāh preserve him – on the 22th, Rabee’ Al-Aakhir, 1444H

Chapter: What has come concerning showing off

And His statement:

(قُلْ إِنَّمَآ أَنَا۠ بَشَرٌ مِّثْلُكُمْ يُوحَىٰٓ إِلَىَّ أَنَّمَآ إِلَٰهُكُمْ إِلَٰهٌ وَٰحِدٌۖ فَمَن كَانَ يَرْجُوا۟ لِقَآءَ رَبِّهِۦ فَلْيَعْمَلْ عَمَلًا صَٰلِحًا وَلَا يُشْرِكْ بِعِبَادَةِ رَبِّهِۦٓ أَحَدًۢا) 

"Say, "I am only a man like you, to whom has been revealed that your god is one God. So whoever would hope for the meeting with his Lord – let him do righteous work and not associate in the worship of his Lord anyone."

[Al-Kahf: 110] 

And from Abi Hurairah Marfoo’ he said: “Allaah ﷻ said:

قالَ اللَّهُ تَبارَكَ وتَعالَى: أنا أغْنَى الشُّرَكاءِ عَنِ الشِّرْكِ، مَن عَمِلَ عَمَلًا أشْرَكَ فيه مَعِي غيرِي، تَرَكْتُهُ وشِرْكَهُ.

“I am the most self-sufficient from having patners. So whoever does an action associating with it me with other than me I disregard it and his partner.”

[Reported by Muslim]

In it are Masaa’il (topics):

The First: Tafseer Ayatul-Kahf.

The Second: The great affair in the rejection of a righteous action if anything for other than Allaah enters it.

The Third: Mentioning the cause which necessitates that, and it is completeness in self-sufficiency.

The Fourth: That from the causes is that Allaah is the better of the partners.

The Fifth: The fear of the Prophet ﷺ of showing off upon his companions.

The Sixth: That he explained it for a person to pray for Allaah, but he beautifies due to what he sees of another person looking at him.
