6811. Narrated ‘Abdullāh (bin Mas’ud): I said, “O Allāh’s Messenger! Which is the biggest sin?” He said, “To set up a rival unto Allāh, though He Alone has created you.” I asked, “What is next (biggest sin)?” 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.” (See H. 6001)

6811 - حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مَنْصُورٌ، وَسُلَيْمَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَيْسَرَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَيُّ الذَّنْبِ أَعْظَمُ؟ قَالَ: «أَنْ تَجْعَلَ لِلَّهِ نِدًّا وَهُوَ خَلَقَكَ» قُلْتُ: ثُمَّ أَيٌّ؟ قَالَ: «أَنْ تَقْتُلَ وَلَدَكَ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنْ يَطْعَمَ مَعَكَ» قُلْتُ: ثُمَّ أَيٌّ؟ قَالَ: «أَنْ تُزَانِيَ حَلِيلَةَ جَارِكَ» قَالَ يَحْيَى: وَحَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، حَدَّثَنِي وَاصِلٌ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، مِثْلَهُ. قَالَ عَمْرٌو: فَذَكَرْتُهُ لِعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، وَكَانَ حَدَّثَنَا عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ، وَمَنْصُورٍ، وَوَاصِلٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَيْسَرَةَ قَالَ: «دَعْهُ دَعْهُ»
