What is the meaning of the saying of Allah the Exalted: “And keep me and my sons away from worshipping idols” (Ibrahim 35)?

Question:
Is the supplication of Ibrahim (peace be upon him) in his saying due to his fear of shirk (associating partners with Allah), or is it a supplication to clarify the severity of that matter?

Answer:
No one is safe from shirk . He (peace and blessings be upon him) feared this, for humans are in danger; no one declares himself pure, neither the prophets nor anyone else. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “O Turner of hearts and eyes, .”
Aishah said to him: “O Messenger of Allah, and you are afraid?” He said: “O Aishah, what gives me security when the hearts of the servants are between two fingers of the Most Merciful? If He wills to turn the heart of a servant, He turns it. So no one, no one is safe for himself.” When one of the scholars heard the saying of Ibrahim, “Keep me away from ,” even though he broke the idols and was tested because of that and thrown into the fire, and yet he feared for himself because he did not declare himself pure, when he heard this he said: “Who is safe from trial after Ibrahim?” Yes.
