It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: On the Day of Resurrection, it will be said to a person destined for Hell: Do you think that if you possessed all the treasures found on the earth, would you give them as ransom to free yourself from Hell? He will say: Yes. Allah Almighty will say: I had demanded from you something even easier than this, when you were in the loins of Adam (peace be upon him), I took a covenant from you that you would not associate partners with Me, but you insisted on associating partners with Me.
