Sahih Muslim Book - 50, Hadith - 7083

حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الْعَنْبَرِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِى حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِى عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِىِّ عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَنِ النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَالَ « يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى لأَهْوَنِ أَهْلِ النَّارِ عَذَابًا لَوْ كَانَتْ لَكَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا أَكُنْتَ مُفْتَدِيًا بِهَا فَيَقُولُ نَعَمْ فَيَقُولُ قَدْ أَرَدْتُ مِنْكَ أَهْوَنَ مِنْ هَذَا وَأَنْتَ فِى صُلْبِ آدَمَ أَنْ لاَ تُشْرِكَ - أَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ - وَلاَ أُدْخِلَكَ النَّارَ فَأَبَيْتَ إِلاَّ الشِّرْكَ ».

It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Prophet (s.a.w) said: "Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, will say to the least severely punished person in Hell: 'If you had the world and everything in it, would you ransom yourself with it?' He will say: 'Yes.' He will say: 'I asked you for something less than that when you were in the loins of Adam: (I asked you) not to associate anything with Me"' – I think he said - "and I would not cause you to enter the Fire, but you insisted on Shirk (associating others with Allah).'"
