وَحَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحُصَيْنِ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ لَيْثِ بْنِ أَبِي سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ مَعْقِلِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ قَالَ: شَهِدْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ مَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ، أَوْ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ:
« الشِّرْكُ أَخْفَى فِيكُمْ مِنْ دَبِيبِ النَّمْلِ » ثُمَّ قَالَ ﷺ: « أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى مَا يُذْهِبُ عَنْكَ صَغِيرَ ذَلِكَ وَكَبِيرَهُ ؟ » قُلِ: « اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ أُشْرِكَ بِكَ وَأَنَا أَعْلَمُ، وَأَسْتَغْفِرُكَ لِمَا لَا أَعْلَمُ

✧ "Polytheism is more hidden among you than the crawling of an ant." Then he ﷺ said, "Shall I not show you what removes from you the minor and major of that?" Say: "O God, I seek refuge in You from associating anything with You knowingly, and I seek Your forgiveness for what I do not know."
