English translation

5977. Narrated Anas bin Mālik رضي الله عنه : Allāh's Messenger ﷺ mentioned the greatest sins or he was asked about the greatest sins. He said, "To join partners in worship with Allāh; to kill a person whom Allāh has forbidden to kill; and to be undutiful or unkind to the parents." The Prophet ﷺ added, "Shall I inform you of the biggest of the great sins? That is the lying speech (forged statement) or the false witness." Shu'ba (the subnarrator) states that most probably the Prophet ﷺ said, "the false witness."

5977 - حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: ذَكَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الكَبَائِرَ، أَوْ سُئِلَ عَنِ الكَبَائِرِ فَقَالَ: " الشِّرْكُ بِاللَّهِ، وَقَتْلُ النَّفْسِ، وَعُقُوقُ الوَالِدَيْنِ، فَقَالَ: أَلاَ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِأَكْبَرِ الكَبَائِرِ؟ قَالَ: قَوْلُ الزُّورِ، أَوْ قَالَ: شَهَادَةُ الزُّورِ " قَالَ شُعْبَةُ: وَأَكْثَرُ ظَنِّي أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «شَهَادَةُ الزُّورِ»
