[257] 141 - (86) It was narrated that 'Abdullāh said: "I asked the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ: 'Which sin is the worst before Allāh?' He said: 'Attributing a partner to Allāh when He (is the One Who) has created you.' I said to him: 'That is indeed grievous.' I said: 'Then what?' He said: 'Then killing your child for fear that he may share you food.' I said: 'Then what?' He said: 'Then committing adultery with your neighbor's wife.'"

Arabic text

142 - (86) حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ جَمِيعًا عَنْ جَرِيرٍ، قَالَ عُثْمَانُ: حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُرَحْبِيلَ، قَالَ: قَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ، قَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، أَيُّ الذَّنْبِ أَكْبَرُ عِنْدَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: «أَنْ تَدْعُوَ لِلَّهِ نِدًّا وَهُوَ خَلَقَكَ» قَالَ: ثُمَّ أَيٌّ؟ قَالَ: «أَنْ تَقْتُلَ وَلَدَكَ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَطْعَمَ مَعَكَ» قَالَ: ثُمَّ أَيٌّ؟ قَالَ: «أَنْ تُزَانِيَ حَلِيلَةَ جَارِكَ» فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ تَصْدِيقَهَا: {وَالَّذِينَ لَا يَدْعُونَ مَعَ اللهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ وَلَا يَقْتُلُونَ النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللهُ إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ، وَلَا يَزْنُونَ وَمَنْ يَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ يَلْقَ أَثَامًا} [الفرقان: 68]
