٤٩۔ كِتَابُ النَّفَقَاتِ
[Machine] I heard Ibn Mas'ood say, "I asked the Prophet ﷺ, which sin is the greatest?" He replied, "To associate partners with Allah while He alone created you." I asked further, "Then what?" He said, "To kill your own child out of fear that they would eat with you."
سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ يَقُولُ سَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قُلْتُ أِيُّ الْكَبَائِرِ أَكْبَرُ؟ قَالَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ لِلَّهِ نِدًّا وَهُوَ خَلَقَكَ قُلْتُ ثُمَّ أَيٌّ؟ قَالَ أَنْ تُقْتَلَ وَلَدِكَ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ مَعَكَ
[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, which is the greatest sin?" He said, "That you set up a partner with Allah while He created you." I said, "Then what?" He said, "That you kill your child out of fear that he will eat with you." I said, "Then what?" He said, "That you commit adultery with your neighbor's wife." In another narration by Al-Dhuhli, it is mentioned that you commit adultery with your neighbor's wife. The Hadith is Mursal (broken chain) from Mansur and Al-A'mash, and the Hadith is connected from Wasil from Abu Wael from Abdullah, and there is no mention of 'Amr ibn Shurahbil.
قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أِيُّ الذَّنْبِ أَعْظَمُ؟ قَالَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ لِلَّهِ نِدًّا وَهُوَ خَلَقَكَ قَالَ ثُمَّ مَاذَا؟ قَالَ أَنْ تَقْتُلَ وَلَدَكَ خَشْيَةَ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ مَعَكَ قَالَ ثُمَّ مَاذَا؟ قَالَ أَنْ تُزَانِيَ حَلِيلَةَ جَارِكَ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ الذُّهْلِيِّ أَنْ تَزْنِيَ بِحَلِيلَةِ جَارِكَ حَدِيثُ مَنْصُورٍ وَالْأَعْمَشِ مَوْصُولٌ وَحَدِيثُ وَاصِلٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ لَيْسَ فِيهِ ذِكْرُ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُرَحْبِيلَ
[Machine] A man said, "O Messenger of Allah, which sin is the greatest?" He said, "To set up a rival for Allah while He alone created you." He asked, "Then what?" He said, "To kill your child out of fear that he may share your food with you." He asked, "Then what?" He said, "To commit adultery with your neighbor's wife." Abu Hafs said, "Abd al-Rahman reported once from Mansur, al-A'mash, and Wasil, from Abu Wail, from Amr bin Shurahbil, from Abdullah, from the Prophet ﷺ . So I said to Abd al-Rahman, 'Inform me.' Yahya ibn Sa'id reported to us, from Sufyan, from Wasil, from Abu Wail, from Abdullah. Abd al-Rahman said, 'Leave it; he did not mention him again after that.' Wasil reported it."
رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أِيُّ الذَّنْبِ أَعْظَمُ؟ قَالَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ لِلَّهِ نِدًّا وَهُوَ خَلَقَكَ قَالَ ثُمَّ أِيُّ؟ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَنْ تُقْتَلَ وَلَدَكَ مِنْ أَجْلِ أَنْ يَطْعَمَ مَعَكَ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَيٌّ؟ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَنْ تَزْنِي بِحَلِيلَةِ جَارِكَ قَالَ أَبُو حَفْصٍ قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ مَرَّةً عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ وَالْأَعْمَشِ وَوَاصِلٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُرَحْبِيلَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ لِعَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ثنا يَحْيَى ثنا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ وَسُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ أَبِي مَيْسَرَةَ وَهُوَ عَمْرُو بْنُ شُرَحْبِيلَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنِي سُفْيَانُ ثنا وَاصِلٌ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ دَعْهُ فَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِيهِ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَاصِلًا
who took part in the battle of Badr and was a Naqib (a person heading a group of six persons), on the night of Al-'Aqaba pledge: Allah's Apostle said while a group of his companions were around him, "Swear allegiance to me for: 1. Not to join anything in worship along with Allah. 2. Not to steal. 3. Not to commit illegal sexual intercourse. 4. Not to kill your children. 5. Not to accuse an innocent person (to spread such an accusation among people). 6. Not to be disobedient (when ordered) to do good deed." The Prophet ﷺ added: "Whoever among you fulfills his pledge will be rewarded by Allah. And whoever indulges in any one of them (except the ascription of partners to Allah) and gets the punishment in this world, that punishment will be an expiation for that sin. And if one indulges in any of them, and Allah conceals his sin, it is up to Him to forgive or punish him (in the Hereafter)." 'Ubada bin As-Samit added: "So we swore allegiance for these." (points to Allah's Apostle) (Using translation from Bukhārī 18)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ وَحَوْلَهُ عِصَابَةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ بَايِعُونِي عَلَى أَنْ لَا تُشْرِكُوا بِاللهِ شَيْئًا وَلَا تَسْرِقُوا وَلَا تَزْنُوا وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا أَوْلَادَكُمْ وَلَا تَأْتُوا بِبُهْتَانٍ تَفْتَرُونَهُ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيكُمْ وَأَرْجُلِكُمْ وَلَا تَعْصُوا فِي مَعْرُوفٍ فَمَنْ وَفَّى مِنْكُمْ فَأَجْرُهُ عَلَى اللهِ وَمَنْ أَصَابَ شَيْئًا مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَعُوقِبَ بِهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا فَهُوَ لَهُ كَفَّارَةٌ وَمَنْ أَصَابَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ شَيْئًا ثُمَّ سَتَرَهُ فَأَمْرُهُ إِلَى اللهِ إِنْ شَاءَ عَفَا عَنْهُ وَإِنْ شَاءَ عَاقَبَهُ قَالَ فَبَايَعْنَاهُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِهِمَا سَوَاءٌ إِلَّا أَنَّ فِي رِوَايَةِ الْقَاضِي عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ وَقَدْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا وَهُوَ أَحَدُ النُّقَبَاءِ لَيْلَةَ الْعَقَبَةِ
