On the authority of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) who reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:
Allah, the Almighty, has said:
I am free of polytheism and polytheists. Whosoever does an action setting up a partner with Me, I desert him as well as his polytheism.
(Reported by Muslim)
Lessons Deduced:
