The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said that Allah Almighty will say to the person receiving the least punishment in Hellfire after entering it: If the world and everything in it were yours, would you ransom yourself with it from this punishment? He will say: Yes. Allah will say: I had asked you and commanded you to do something easier than that when the covenant was taken from you while you were in the backbone of Adam: not to associate partners with Me. But when I brought you out to the world, you insisted on Shirk.

• The Hadīth shows the merit of Tawhīd and the ease of adhering to it.
• It demonstrates the dangers and consequences of associating partners with Allah.
• Allah took the covenant from the children of Adam when they were in the backbone of their father, Adam, not to associate partners with Him.
• It warns of Shirk and demonstrates that the entire world will not benefit the disbeliever anything on the Day of Judgment.
