(7). 3154. 'Abdul-Ḥamīd bin Ja'far said: "My father informed me, from Ibn Mīnā', from Abū Sa'eed bin Abī Faḍālah Al-Anṣārī – and he was one of the Companions – who said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ saying: "When Allāh gathers the people on the Day of Judgement – a Day in which there is no doubt in – a caller will call out: 'Whoever committed Shirk in any of his deeds he did for Allāh – then let him seek his reward from other than Allāh. For indeed Allāh is the most free of the partners from any need of Shirk.'" (Hasan)
Abū 'Eisā said: This Hadīth is [Hasan] Gharīb, we do not know of it except as a narration of Muḥammad bin Bakr (a narrator in the chain).

Commentary
Imām At-Tirmidhī reported this Hadīth to explain the last verse of Sūrat Al-Kahf. Its aim is that Allāh accepts only that deed which is performed purely to gain His pleasure. If a person wants to gain someone else's pleasure and love along with the pleasure and love of Allāh by a deed, Allāh ﷻ abandons him unto others, He Almighty is free and needless of anyone's partnership and association.
