Today's hadith is one of those pivotal hadiths
where it's very, it's very, it's very It's
very important to understand and it's narrated with
an authentic chain of narration in the collections
of one Muslim عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ
رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهُ السَّلَّمِ قَالَ اللَّهُ
تَعَالَى This is one of those hadiths where
it's called the ḥarīq Qudsīyah, which is The
Prophet ﷺ narrates a ḥadīth on behalf of
Allah ﷻ Kind of like a Qur'an,
but it's not Qur'an It's just an
idea that the Prophet ﷺ will put it
in his own words قَالَ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى
أَنَا أَغْنَى الشُّرَكَاءِ عَنِ الشِّرْكِ قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى
أَنَا أَغْنَى الشُّرَكَاءِ عَنِ الشِّرْكِ وَمَنْ عَمِلَ عَمَلًا
أَشْرَكَ بِهِ أَحَدًا غَيْرِي تَرَكْتُهُ وَشِرْكَهُ This ḥadīth,
Allah ﷻ is saying that Indeed, I am,
Allah ﷻ Do not need any partner or
anyone to associate with me at all And
those who perform any act And they have
in their intention They want to please someone
other than me Then I will leave them
I'm reluctant I will leave them with whoever
they want to please And if you hear
the ḥadīth There's a lot of shuraka and
shirk And there's the common word of The
common meaning of the word shirk Is when
you associate someone with Allah ﷻ You know
And that's why they're called mushrikeen Because they
worship Allah But also they worship other deities
with Allah ﷻ And in their mind They
thought that this could be This could bring
them closer to Allah ﷻ This is not
what the ḥadīth is talking about Not this
type of shirk Because the Prophet ﷺ In
multiple areas in Sahih al-Bukhari says لَا
خَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ أَن تُسِكُوا بَعْدِهِ This type of
shirk Where someone is sitting and praying towards
an idol or a sanam Will not happen
in our ummah We have a protection from
that The Islamic creed is so simple and
so straightforward And so easy to understand And
elegant This will never cross your mind Will
never cross your mind Yesterday I just tried
to explain Islam in two phrases to someone
And it made sense in their mind It's
because it's just elegant and simple and straightforward
That Allah ﷻ is the absolute deity And
everyone else is a creation Period, that's it
We don't associate anything But this ḥadīth is
not talking about this It's talking about our
intentions and our actions That every time you
perform any act Then there is a fraction
of a second that you stop And you
ask yourself, why am I doing it?
And sometimes we don't Sometimes we don't, a
lot of times we just act Because it
makes sense and that's on the spot But
Allah ﷻ is saying That if you do
perform any act If it's for me purely
then I will accept it But if it's
not Even if there is 1% of
it associating Or trying to please someone else
other than Allah ﷻ Even if it's 99
% towards Allah And 1% only Is
directed towards pleasing someone else Then Allah ﷻ
is not going to accept it He said,
I'm the more I don't need to have
any partners with me So it's talking about
intentions Talking about purifying your intentions And this
is one of the most difficult things you
can do It's really, if you try to
do this experiment Anything you do, just ask
yourself, why am I doing it?
You might not like the answer actually If
you really ask yourself But there is always
good in it Because sometimes we start something
And we don't know why we are doing
it We don't really just do it A
lot of us immigrated here We have no
idea why Because it's better to live here
But you can correct your intention as you
go Actually reviewing and revision of your intentions
Is a sunnah That you always go back
and say Okay, let me just purify my
intention I started well but I don't know
what had happened In the meantime I'm doing
it for 2-3 years I don't know
if it's still pure So even if you
start with a certain intention It's always good
to review it and correct it Even if
you start with a wrong intention You can
correct it But it works the other way
also Sometimes there are certain things You start
well But with time Because we are influenced
There are a lot of temptations That will
eat away from your pure intention This is
a beautiful hadith A lot of people understand
it In the first common meaning of shirk
But this is what it means It's not
talking about shirk In terms of aqid In
terms of worshipping It talks about shirk in
terms of Intentions and what we do There's
actually a very scary hadith And I'll just
translate it in English That on the Day
of Judgment They will bring a scholar A
scholar And Allah will ask him What have
you done?
He said, well, I learned for a number
of decades And I taught He said, no,
you did that But you did all that
For people to say that Sheikh, scholar And
they said that You got your payment And
the life, right?
So, no payment today No reward today Someone
who actually died For the sake of Allah
There's nothing beyond that That you actually You
sacrifice your life Towards the cause And he
said, no, you didn't do that For my
sake, you did it So people can say
That this is a brave man This is
a very brave man, right?
Shujaa And they said that So you took
your reward And it goes like that They
bring all these They bring a type of
person You know, that we revere all the
time And you know But Allah subhanahu wa
ta'ala Asked the question The one question
What the intention was I hope this was
a benefit In his Sahih In the Sahih
of Abu Hurairah May Allah be pleased with
him and please him The Messenger of Allah,
peace and blessings be upon him, said Allah,
the Exalted, said I am richer than the
two partners in polytheism So whoever did a
deed And associated with it other than me
I left him and his polytheism And the
Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon
him, said Glory be to you, O Allah,
by your praise There is no god but
Allah
