قول الله تعالى : {فَلا تَجْعَلُوا لِلَّهِ أَنْدَادًا وَأَنْتُمْ تَعْلَمُونَ}. قال ابن عباس في الآية: "الأنداد: هو الشرك، أخفى من دَبِيبِ النمل على صَفَاةٍ سوداء في ظلمة الليل". وهو أن تقول: والله وحياتك يا فلان، وحياتي، وتقول: لولا كُلَيْبَةُ هذا لأتانا اللصوص، ولولا البط في الدار لأتانا اللصوص، وقول الرجل لصاحبه: ما شاء الله وشئت، وقول الرجل: لولا الله وفلان، لا تجعل فيها فلانا؛ هذا كله به شرك".
Kauli ya Mwenyezi Mungu Mtukufu: "Msimfanyie Mwenyezi Mungu washirika na hali nyinyi mnajua, Amesema bin Abbas katika aya hii: Washirika, ni ushirikina, uliofichikana kuliko mkanyago wa mdudu chungu katika jiwe kubwa jeusi katika giza nene la usiku". Nayo ni mtu kusema: Namuapa Mwenyezi Mungu na maisha yangu ewe fulani, naapa kwa maisha yangu, na kusema: laiti kisingekuwa kimbwa hiki wezi wangetuvamia, na lau kama si bata huyu wezi wangetujia, na kauli ya mtu kusema kumwambia mwenzie: Akitaka Mwenyezi Mungu na ukitaka wewe, na kauli ya mtu: lau kama si Mwenyezi Mungu na fulani, usimuweke ndani yake fulani hii yote ina ushirikina".
Allah's statement: {So do not attribute to Allah equals while you know} [Sūrat al-Baqarah: 22]. Ibn ‘Abbās commented: "Equals are polytheism. It is subtler than the crawling of a small black ant on a black stone in the darkness of the night." Polytheism can be expressed by saying: “I swear by Allah and by your life, O so-and-so, and by my life.” Other forms of this polytheism are: “Had it not been for Kulaybah (puppy), thieves would have broken in.” And: “Had it not been for the duck in our house, thieves would have broken in." And this statement of a man to his companion: “By Allah's will and your will.” In addition, the following statement also falls under the same ruling: “If it weren't for Allah and so-and-so.” Don't associate others with Allah; all this is polytheism.
