The hadith extracted by Tabarani in his Kabeer that Adi bin Hatim stated, “I came to the Prophet sallalahu alaihi wassalam while I had a cross from gold around my neck. He said, يَا عَدِيُّ اطْرَحْ هَذَا الْوَثَنَ مِنْ عُنُقِكَ “O Udai! Remove this idol from yourself!” So I removed it in which I heard him reciting from Surat Bara’ah this ayah ((اتَّخَذُوا أَحْبَارَهُمْ وَرُهْبَانَهُمْ أَرْبَابًا مِنْ دُونِ اللهِ)) “They have taken their scholars and monks as lords besides Allah” [Tauba: 31] And once He finished reciting this ayah, Adi commented, I said, ‘They did not worship them.’ The Prophet said, «أَلَيْسَ يُحَرِّمُونَ مَا أَحَلَّ اللهُ فَتُحَرِّمُونُهُ، ويُحِلُّونَ مَا حَرَّمَ اللهُ فَتَسْتَحِلُّونَهُ فَتِلْكَ عِبَادَتُهُمْ؟» “Yes they did. They (rabbis and monks) prohibited the allowed for them (Christians and Jews) and allowed the prohibited, and they obeyed them. This is how they worshiped them.” I replied, ‘Yes’. He said, «فَتِلْكَ عِبَادَتُهُمْ» “that is their worship” Therefore, the one who legislates without Allah (swt), his sins are very grave.
