MAJOR SINS

1590

“Shall I tell you what major sins are? (he asked 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.
