(23). 3037 Thuwair – Ibn Abī Fākhītah – narrated from his father that 'Alī bin Abī Ṭalīb said: "There is no Āyah in the Qur'an more beloved to me that this Āyah: Verily Allāh forgives not associating others with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whomever He wills."[1] (Da'if)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Gharīb. Abū Fāṭikhah's
name is Sa'eed bin 'Ilaqah and Thuwair's Kunyah is Abū Jahm, and he is a man from Al-Kūfah [among the Tābi'īn]. He heard from Ibn 'Umar and Ibn Az-Zubair. Ibn Mahdi used to disparage him a little.

Commentary
If a person suffers from wrongdoings and follows the deviated path, he still has the chance to be forgiven and pardoned, but as for a person who associates others with Allāh, he has no possibility whatsoever to be forgiven and pardoned. Therefore a person adhering to monotheism [Tawhīd] has glad tidings in this Āyah from one aspect; and this is the main aspect of it being loved.
