Chapter 37: Whoever Obeys a Scholar or a Ruler by Prohibiting What Allah Has Permitted or Permitting What Allah Has Prohibited Has Taken Them as Partners besides Allah
On the authority of 'Abi bn Haatm it is reported that he heard the Messenger of Allah reciting this Quranc verse: "They have taken their rabbis and their monks as lords beside Allah and [they take as a lord] Al-Maseeh, 'Jesus the son of Mary yet they were not commanded but to worship On God: None has the right to be worshipped but He - Praise and Glory to Him: [Far is He] from having the partners they associate" (9:31)
"...and I said to him: "We don't worshipp them." He said: "Do they not forbid what Allah has permitted and do you not then forbid it (to yourselves), and do they not make permissible for you what Allah has forbidden, and do you not then make it permissible (to yourselves)?" I replied: "Certainly!" He said: "That is worshipping them." (Tirmidhee, declared hasan by Ibn Taymeeyah in Majmoo Al Fatawaa 7/67 and declared hasan by Al Albaanee in Saheeh Sunan At-Tirmidhee #2471)
