[Machine] Abdullah ibn Amr reported from the Prophet ﷺ .

قَالَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ

bukhari:5975Saʿd b. Ḥafṣ > Shaybān > Manṣūr > al-Musayyab > And Rrād > al-Mughīrah

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allah has forbidden you ( 1 ) to be undutiful to your mothers (2) to withhold (what you should give) or (3) demand (what you do not deserve), and (4) to bury your daughters alive. And Allah has disliked that (A) you talk too much about others ( B), ask too many questions (in religion), or (C) waste your property."  

البخاري:٥٩٧٥حَدَّثَنَا سَعْدُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ عَنْ وَرَّادٍ عَنِ الْمُغِيرَةِ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ حَرَّمَ عَلَيْكُمْ عُقُوقَ الأُمَّهَاتِ وَمَنْعَ وَهَاتِ وَوَأْدَ الْبَنَاتِ وَكَرِهَ لَكُمْ قِيلَ وَقَالَ وَكَثْرَةَ السُّؤَالِ وَإِضَاعَةَ الْمَالِ  

bukhari:5976Isḥāq > Khālid al-Wāsiṭī > al-Jurayrī > ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. Abū Bakrah from his father

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said thrice, "Shall I not inform you of the biggest of the great sins?" We said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ" He said, "To join partners in worship with Allah: to be undutiful to one's parents." The Prophet ﷺ sat up after he had been reclining and added, "And I warn you against giving forged statement and a false witness; I warn you against giving a forged statement and a false witness." The Prophet kept on saying that warning till we thought that he would not stop.  

البخاري:٥٩٧٦حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ الْوَاسِطِيُّ عَنِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ ؓ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَلاَ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِأَكْبَرِ الْكَبَائِرِ قُلْنَا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ الإِشْرَاكُ بِاللَّهِ وَعُقُوقُ الْوَالِدَيْنِ وَكَانَ مُتَّكِئًا فَجَلَسَ فَقَالَ أَلاَ وَقَوْلُ الزُّورِ وَشَهَادَةُ الزُّورِ أَلاَ وَقَوْلُ الزُّورِ وَشَهَادَةُ الزُّورِ فَمَا زَالَ يَقُولُهَا حَتَّى قُلْتُ لاَ يَسْكُتُ  

bukhari:5977Muḥammad b. al-Walīd > Muḥammad b. Jaʿfar > Shuʿbah > ʿUbaydullāh b. Abū Bakr > Anas b. Mālik

Messenger of Allah ﷺ mentioned the greatest sins or he was asked about the greatest sins. He said, "To join partners in worship with Allah; to kill a soul which Allah has forbidden to kill; and to be undutiful or unkind to one's parents." The Prophet ﷺ added, "Shall I inform you of the biggest of the great sins? That is the forged statement or the false witness." Shuʿba (the sub-narrator) states that most probably the Prophet said, "the false witness."  

البخاري:٥٩٧٧حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ ؓ قَالَ

ذَكَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْكَبَائِرَ أَوْ سُئِلَ عَنِ الْكَبَائِرِ فَقَالَ الشِّرْكُ بِاللَّهِ وَقَتْلُ النَّفْسِ وَعُقُوقُ الْوَالِدَيْنِ فَقَالَ أَلاَ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِأَكْبَرِ الْكَبَائِرِ قَالَ قَوْلُ الزُّورِ أَوْ قَالَ شَهَادَةُ الزُّورِ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ وَأَكْثَرُ ظَنِّي أَنَّهُ قَالَ شَهَادَةُ الزُّورِ
