"عَنِ الأسوَدِ بِنِ هِلَالٍ قَالَ: قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ لأصْحابِهِ: مَا تَقُولُونَ فِى هَاتَيْنِ الآيَتَيْنِ: {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا رَبُّنَا الله ثُمَّ اسْتَقَامُوا} وَ {الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَلَمْ يَلْبِسُوا إِيمَانَهُمْ بِظُلْمٍ}؟ قَالُوا: رَبُّنَا الله ثُمَّ اسْتَقَامُوا فَلَمْ يُذْنِبُوا، وَلَمْ يَلبِسُوا إِيمَانَهُمْ بِخَطِيئَةٍ، قَالَ: لَقَدْ حَمَلْتُمُوهَا عَلَى غَيْرِ الْمَحْملِ، قَالُوا رَبُّنَا الله ثُمَّ اسْتَقَامُوا فَلَمْ يَلتَفِتُوا إِلَى إِلَهٍ غَيْرِهِ، وفِى لفظٍ: فَلَمْ يَرْجِعُوا إِلَى عِبَادَةِ الأَوْثَانِ، وَلَم يَلبِسُوا إِيمَانَهُمْ بِشِرْكٍ".
[Machine] What do you say about the saying of Allah Almighty: "Indeed, those who say, 'Our Lord is Allah,' and then remain on a right course - the angels will descend upon them, saying, 'Do not fear and do not grieve but receive good tidings of Paradise, which you were promised.'" [Fussilat 30] And His saying: "Those who believed and did not mix their belief with injustice - those will have security, and they are [rightly] guided." [Al-An'am 82] Is their belief in injustice a sin? So those who say, 'Our Lord is Allah,' and then remain on a right course without wavering, and those who did not mix their belief with injustice by committing a sin, Abu Bakr said, "You have carried it (this statement) on a different side (other than intended) and then remained on a right course without wavering, and without turning towards any other deity, and without mixing their belief with injustice, meaning with polytheism."
مَا تَقُولُونَ فِي قَوْلِ اللَّهِ ﷻ {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا رَبُّنَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَقَامُوا} [فصلت 30] وَقَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى {الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَلَمْ يَلْبِسُوا} [الأنعام 82] إِيمَانَهُمْ بِظُلْمٍ؟ فَقَالُوا الَّذِينَ قَالُوا رَبُّنَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَقَامُوا فَلَمْ يَلْتَفِتُوا وَقَوْلُهُ وَلَمْ يَلْبِسُوا إِيمَانَهُمْ بِظُلْمٍ بِخَطِيئَةٍ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ «حَمَلْتُمُوهَا عَلَى غَيْرِ وَجْهِ الْمَحْمَلِ ثُمَّ اسْتَقَامُوا وَلَمْ يَلْتَفِتُوا إِلَى إِلَهٍ غَيْرِهِ وَلَمْ يَلْبِسُوا إِيمَانَهُمْ بِظُلْمٍ أَيْ بِشِرْكٍ»
