2310. ‘Abdullāh (Ibn Mas‘ūd) narrated that he asked the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ: “What is the greatest sin?” He replied: "That you make a partner along with Allāh, even though He is the One who created you." He said: "Then what?" He replied: "That you kill your child out of fear that he will eat with you." He said: "Then what?" He replied: "That you fornicate with your neighbour's wife." 'Abdullāh said: "And Allāh revealed the affirmation of the Prophet's ﷺ saying: And those who do not call out to others besides Allāh, and do not kill the soul that Allāh has prohibited, and do not fornicate."[1] (Sahih)

2310 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُرَحْبِيلَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَيُّ الذَّنْبِ أَعْظَمُ؟ قَالَ: «أَنْ تَجْعَلَ لِلَّهِ نِدًّا وَهُوَ خَلَقَكَ»، قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ: ثُمَّ أَيٌّ؟ قَالَ: «أَنْ تَقْتُلَ وَلَدَكَ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ مَعَكَ»، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: ثُمَّ أَيٌّ؟ قَالَ: «أَنْ تُزَانِيَ حَلِيلَةَ جَارِكَ»، قَالَ: وَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى تَصْدِيقَ قَوْلِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: {وَالَّذِينَ لَا يَدْعُونَ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ وَلَا يَقْتُلُونَ النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَلَا يَزْنُونَ} [الفرقان: 68] الْآيَةَ
