"I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, which sin is most grievous?' He said: 'Setting up a rival to Allah while it is He that created you.' I said: 'Then what?' He said: 'Killing your child so that he will not eat with you.' I said: 'Then what?' He said: 'Committing adultery with your neighbor's wife.'"

I or somebody, asked Messenger of Allah ﷺ "Which is the biggest sin in the Sight of Allah?" He said, "That you set up a rival (in worship) to Allah though He Alone created you." I asked, "What is next?" He said, "Then, that you kill your son, being afraid that he may share your meals with you." I asked, "What is next?" He said, "That you commit illegal sexual intercourse with the wife of your neighbor." Then the following Verse was revealed to confirm the statement of Messenger of Allah ﷺ: "Those who invoke not with Allah, any other god, nor kill life as Allah has forbidden except for just cause, nor commit illegal sexual intercourse." (25.68)

[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "Which sin is the greatest?" The Prophet replied, "To associate partners with Allah while He has created you." The man asked again, "Then what?" The Prophet said, "To kill your child out of fear that he will share your food with you." The man asked once more, "Then what?" The Prophet replied, "To commit adultery with your neighbor's wife." At that moment, Allah revealed in His book the confirmation of what the Prophet had said, "And those who do not invoke with Allah another deity or kill the soul which Allah has forbidden [to be killed], except by right, and do not commit adultery. And whoever should do that will meet a penalty" (Quran 25:68).

I asked the Prophet, "What is the greatest sin in the Sight of Allah?" He said, "That you set up a rival unto Allah though He Alone created you." I said, "That is indeed a great sin." Then asked, "What is next?" He said, "To kill your son lest he should share your food with you." I asked, "What is next?" He said, "To commit illegal sexual intercourse with the wife of your neighbor." (Using translation from Bukhārī 4477)

[Machine] Abdullah said, "I asked the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , 'O Messenger of Allah, which sin is the greatest?' He said, 'To associate partners with Allah while He has created you.' I asked, 'Then what?' He said, 'To kill your child out of fear of poverty.' I asked, 'Then what?' He said, 'To commit adultery with your neighbor's wife.' Then he recited this verse, 'And those who do not invoke with Allah another deity or kill the soul which Allah has forbidden [to be killed], except by right, and do not commit unlawful sexual intercourse. And whoever should do that will meet a penalty.' (Quran 25:68)"
