4761. Narrated 'Abdullāh رضي الله عنه I, or somebody, asked Allāh's Messenger ﷺ, "Which is the biggest sin in consideration with Allāh?" He said, "That you set up a rival (in worship) to Allāh, though He Alone created you." I asked, "What is next?" He said, "To kill your son, lest he should share your food with you." I asked, "What is next?" He said, "To commit illegal sexual intercourse with the wife of your neighbour." Then the following Verse was revealed to confirm the statement of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ: "Those who invoke not, any other ilāh (god) along with Allāh, nor kill such person as Allāh has forbidden except for just cause, nor commit illegal sexual intercourse..." (V.25:68) (See H. 4477)
