3360. Narrated 'Abdullāh رضي الله عنه: When the following Verse was revealed: "It is those who believe (in the Oneness of Allāh and worship none but Him Alone) and confuse not their belief with Zulm (wrong i.e., by worshipping others besides Allāh)..."(2) (V.6:82) We said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Who is there amongst us who has not done Zulm (wrong) to himself?" He replied, "It is not as you say, for Zulm in the Verse and 'confuse not their belief, with Zulm means 'Shirk' (i.e., joining others in worship with Allāh). Haven't you heard Luqmān's saying to his son, '...O my son! Join not in worship others with Allāh. Verily! Joining others in worship with Allāh is a great Zulm (wrong) indeed.'" (V.31:13)
