The answer

Linguistic (polytheism of words) refers to certain words and phrases that appear on the tongues of some Muslims, the outward meaning of which is shirk. Examples include swearing by other than Allah, saying "what Allah wills and you will," and "this is from Allah and from you." This is a minor shirk that, by scholarly consensus, does not expel its perpetrator from the fold of Islam. It is forbidden and one must cease from it and repent for it. However, it can become major shirk depending on the intention of the speaker.
