Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 8

Translation

I was with the Najdāt (a group from the sect of Khawārij) and I committed sins that I see as nothing but among the major sins. I mentioned that to Ibn ʿUmar, and he said, “What are they?” I said such-and-such. He said, “These are not among the major sins. They are nine: (1) associating partners with Allah, (2) killing a soul, (3) fleeing from the battlefield, (4) falsely accusing a chaste woman, (5) consuming usury, (6) consuming the wealth of an orphan, (7) committing sacrilege in the Sacred Mosque, (8) the one who mocks, and (9) making one’s parents weep because of disobedience.” Ibn ʿUmar said to me, “Do you dread the Fire and love to enter Paradise?” I said, “Yes, by Allah.” He said, “Is your father alive?” I said, “I have my mother.” He said, “By Allah, if you speak gently to her and feed her, you will surely enter Paradise, so long as you avoid the major sins.”
