[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I have a cousin who never stops committing sins." The Prophet ﷺ asked, "What is his religion?" The man replied, "He prays and believes in the oneness of Allah." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Advise him to fear Allah and abandon his sins, and if he refuses, then distance yourself from him." The man requested that from his cousin, but he refused. So, he came to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him about the matter. The Prophet ﷺ said, "I found him to be stubborn in his religion." Then Allah (swt) revealed the verse in the Quran, "Indeed, Allah does not forgive association with Him, but He forgives what is less than that for whom He wills."  

الطبراني:٤٠٦٣ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ جَنَابٍ الْمِصِّيصِيُّ ثنا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ عَنْ وَاصِلِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ عَنْ أَبِي سَوْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ قَالَ

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ لِي ابْنَ أَخٍ لَا يَنْتَهِي عَنْ حَرَامٍ قَالَ «مَا دِينُهُ؟» قَالَ يُصَلِّي ويُوَحِّدُ اللهَ قَالَ «فَاسْتَوْهِبْ مِنْهُ دِينَهُ فَإِنْ أَبَى فَابْتَعْهُ مِنْهُ» فَطَلَبَ ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْهُ فَأَبَى عَلَيْهِ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَقَالَ وَجَدْتُهُ شَحِيحًا عَلَى دِينِهِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ {إِنَّ اللهَ لَا يَغْفِرُ أَنْ يُشْرَكَ بِهِ وَيَغْفِرُ مَا دُونَ ذَلِكَ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ}
