MAJOR SINS

336

“Shall I tell you what are the major sins? (He repeated this three times). We said, ‘Certainly, O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, he said, "Association of others with Allah. Disobeying your parents; (until that point he had been leaning on a pillow, then suddenly he sat up), telling a lie, and giving false testimony. He repeated this last (sin) so many times that we wished he would stop.”

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abu Bakarah Nufai'the son of Harith who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
