أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ وَاصِلٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُرَحْبِيلَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَىُّ الذَّنْبِ أَعْظَمُ قَالَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ لِلَّهِ نِدًّا وَهُوَ خَلَقَكَ قُلْتُ ثُمَّ مَاذَا قَالَ أَنْ تَقْتُلَ وَلَدَكَ خَشْيَةَ أَنْ يَطْعَمَ مَعَكَ قُلْتُ ثُمَّ مَاذَا قَالَ أَنْ تُزَانِيَ بِحَلِيلَةِ جَارِكَ

    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.
