Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 1-91b
"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".

"From al-Aswad b. Hilāl, who said: Abū Bakr said to his companions: What do you say about these two verses: {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ قَالُوا رَبُّنَا الله ثُمَّ اسْتَقَامُوا} and {الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَلَمْ يَلْبِسُوا إِيمَانَهُمْ بِظُلْمٍ}? They said: 'Our Lord is Allah, then they remained steadfast' means they did not sin, and 'did not mix their faith with wrongdoing' means they did not mix their faith with a sin. He said: You have taken them to a meaning other than the intended one. 'They said: Our Lord is Allah, then they remained steadfast' means they did not turn to any god other than Him. In another wording: they did not return to the worship of idols, and they did not mix their faith with polytheism (shirk)."
