﴾وَإِن جَـٰهَدَاكَ عَلَىٰٓ أَن تُشۡرِكَ بِى مَا لَيۡسَ لَكَ بِهِۦ عِلۡمٌ۬ فَلَا تُطِعۡهُمَاۖ﴿
Translation: But if they strive with you to make you join in worship with Me others that of which you have no knowledge, then obey them not.
*Sa`d b. Malik:* This was revealed concerning me.
*I was a man who honored his mother, but when I became Muslim, she said: *“O’ Sa`d! What is this new thing I see you upon? Leave this religion of yours, or I will not eat or drink until I die, and people will say: Shame on you, for what you have done to me, and they will say that you have killed your mother.”
*I said:* “Do not do that, O’ mother, for I will not give up this religion of mine for anything.” She stayed without eating for one day and one night, and she became exhausted; then she stayed for another day and night without eating, and she became utterly exhausted.
*When I saw that, I said:* “O’ my mother, by Allaah, even if you had one hundred souls and they were to depart one by one, I would not give up this religion of mine for anything, so if you want to, eat, and if you want to, do not eat.”
So she ate.
