4020. It was narrated that 'Abdullāh said: "I asked the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, which sin is most grievous?" He said: "Shirk, setting up a rival to Allāh, committing adultery with your neighbor's wife, and killing your child for fear of poverty, and that he may eat with you." Then 'Abdullāh recited the Verse: "And those who invoke not any other Ilāh (god) along with Allāh."[1] (Hasan) Abū 'Abdur-Rahmān (An-Nasā'i) said: This is a mistake, and what is correct is the one before it. This narration of Yazīd is a mistake, it should be Wāšil.[2]

Arabic text

4015 - أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدَةُ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا يَزِيدُ قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَيُّ الذَّنْبِ أَعْظَمُ؟ قَالَ: «الشِّرْكُ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ لِلَّهِ نِدًّا، وَأَنْ تُزَانِيَ بِحَلِيلَةِ جَارِكَ، وَأَنْ تَقْتُلَ وَلَدَكَ مَخَافَةَ الْفَقْرِ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ مَعَكَ»، ثُمَّ قَرَأَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ: {وَالَّذِينَ لَا يَدْعُونَ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ} [الفرقان: 68] قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ: «هَذَا خَطَأٌ، وَالصَّوَابُ الَّذِي قَبْلَهُ، وَحَدِيثُ يَزِيدَ هَذَا خَطَأٌ، إِنَّمَا هُوَ وَاصِلٌ وَاللَّهُ تَعَالَى أَعْلَمُ»
