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.
