Mishkat al-Masabih 3660
Abu Musa used to say
It is all the same to me whether I drink wine or worship this pillar instead of Allah.* Nasa’i transmitted it. *He says that the one sin is as serious as the other.وَعَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ: مَا أُبالي شرِبتُ الخمرَ أَو عبدْتُ هذهِ السَّارِيةَ دونَ اللَّهِ. رَوَاهُ النَّسَائِيّ
