أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو خَلِيفَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُرَحْبِيلَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ الذَّنْبِ أَعْظَمُ؟ قَالَ «أَنْ تَجْعَلَ لِلَّهِ نِدًّا وَهُوَ خَلَقَكَ» قُلْتُ ثُمَّ أَيُّ؟ قَالَ «أَنْ تَقْتُلَ وَلَدَكَ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ مَعَكَ» قُلْتُ ثُمَّ أَيُّ؟ قَالَ «أَنْ تَزْنِيَ بِحَلِيلَةِ جَارِكَ» فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَصْدِيقَ قَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ {وَالَّذِينَ لَا يَدْعُونَ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ وَلَا يَقْتُلُونَ النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَلَا يَزْنُونَ}

✧ I said, "O Messenger of Allah, which sin is greatest?" He said, "That you set up a rival to Allah while He created you." I said, "Then which?" He said, "That you kill your child fearing he will eat with you." I said, "Then which?" He said, "That you commit adultery with your neighbor's wife." Then Allah sent down confirmation of the statement of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: {And those who do not call upon another god besides Allah, nor kill the soul that Allah has forbidden except by right, nor commit adultery}.

    machine translationHe was asked about the hadith of ʿAmr b. Shuraḥbīl, from ʿAbdullāh, who said: A man said, "O Messenger of Allah, which sin is greatest?" – the hadith. He said: Manṣūr narrates it from Abū Wāʾil, from Abū Maysarah, from ʿAbdullāh. And al-Aʿmash narrated it, and there is disagreement about him. Al-Thawrī, Maʿmar, Jarīr and ʿAbdullāh b. Numayr narrated it from al-Aʿmash, from Abū Wāʾil, from ʿAmr b. Shuraḥbīl, from ʿAbdullāh. But Abū Shihāb al-Ḥannāṭ, Abū Muʿāwiyah al-Ḍarīr and Shaybān b. ʿAbd al-Raḥmān contradicted them, and narrated it from al-Aʿmash, from Abū Wāʾil, from ʿAbdullāh. Likewise Wāṣil al-Aḥdab narrated it, and there is disagreement about him. Al-Thawrī, Shuʿbah and Mahdī b. Maymūn narrated it from Wāṣil, from Abū Wāʾil, from ʿAbdullāh. But ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. Mahdī narrated it from al-Thawrī, from Wāṣil, from Abū Wāʾil, from ʿAmr b. Shuraḥbīl, from ʿAbdullāh, and he erred (wahima) regarding al-Thawrī. Al-Ḥasan b. ʿUbaydillāh al-Nakhaʿī narrated it from Abū Wāʾil, from ʿAbdullāh. The correct (ṣaḥīḥ) one is the hadith of ʿAmr b. Shuraḥbīl.
