Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Abu al-Walid narrated to us, saying: Shu'bah narrated to us. He said: And Bishr narrated to us, saying: Muhammad ibn Ja'far narrated to us from Shu'bah from Sulayman from Ibrahim from 'Uqaym from 'Abdullah, who said: لما نزلت : الذين آمنوا ولم يلبسوا إيمانهم بظلم قال أصحاب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : أينا لم يظلم ، فأنزل الله : إن الشرك لظلم عظيم When the verse "Those who believe and do not mix their faith with injustice" was revealed, the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Which of us has not committed injustice?" So Allah revealed: "Indeed, associating partners with Allah is great injustice.".
The Shaykh : Injustice is of different degrees, some less than others. It seems the author (may Allah have mercy on him) intended to follow the verses in Surat al-Ma'idah. The first of the verses in al-Ma'idah is:[Al-Ma'idah 5:44], and the second is: . Injustice is like disbelief, meaning some of it is less than some. Injustice is of different degrees. This is indicated by the fact that when this verse was revealed: [Al-An'am 6:82], the Companions said, "Which of us has not committed injustice?" Every person is not free from injustice. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ألم تروا إلى قول العبد الصالح : إن الشرك لظلم عظيم Have you not seen the saying of the righteous servant: "Indeed, associating partners with Allah is great injustice".
So the injustice referred to in the verse is shirk (associating partners with Allah), as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) indicated. And the greatest injustice is shirk, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked: "Which sin is the greatest?" He said:Sahih al-Bukhari 6811.
Then it has levels. What is less than disbelief has levels, major sins and minor sins. Major sins also have levels, and minor sins likewise. And so it is with righteous deeds; everything is less than something else.

The Shaykh : Injustice is of different degrees, some less than others. It seems the author (may Allah have mercy on him) intended to follow the verses in Surat al-Ma'idah. The first of the verses in al-Ma'idah is:
And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed - then it is those who are the disbelievers.
ومن لم يحكم بما أنزل فأولئك هم الكافرونThey are the wrongdoers
هم الظالمونThey who believe and do not mix their belief with injustice
الذين آمنوا ولم يلبسوا إيمانهم بظلمSo the injustice referred to in the verse is shirk (associating partners with Allah), as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) indicated. And the greatest injustice is shirk, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked: "Which sin is the greatest?" He said:
To set up rivals to Allah by worshipping others though He alone has created you
أن تجعل لله ندا وهو خلقكThen it has levels. What is less than disbelief has levels, major sins and minor sins. Major sins also have levels, and minor sins likewise. And so it is with righteous deeds; everything is less than something else.
The questioner : ... So Allah, Mighty and Majestic, revealed:
Indeed, association [with him] is great injustice."
