'Imran ibn Husayn said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, 'What do you say about fornication, drinking wine
and theft?' 'Allah and His Messenger know best,' we replied. He stated, 'They
are acts of outrage and there is punishment for them, but shall I tell you
which is the greatest of the great wrong actions? Associating with Allah
Almighty and disobeying parents.' He had been reclining, but then he sat
up and said, 'and lying.'"
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُيَيْنَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ: مَا مِنْ ذَنْبٍ أَجْدَرُ أَنْ يُعَجَّلَ لِصَاحِبِهِ الْعُقُوبَةُ مَعَ مَا يُدَّخَرُ لَهُ، مِنَ الْبَغِيِّ وَقَطِيعَةِ الرَّحِمِ.
Abu Bakra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, "There is no wrong action more likely to bring punishment in
this world in addition to what is stored up in the Next World than oppression
and severing ties of kinship."
