حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ، عَنْ عِمْرَانَ بْنِ حُصَيْنٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ”مَا تَقُولُونَ فِي الزِّنَا، وَشُرْبِ الْخَمْرِ، وَالسَّرِقَةِ؟“ قُلْنَا: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ، قَالَ: ”هُنَّ الْفَوَاحِشُ، وَفِيهِنَّ الْعُقُوبَةُ، أَلاَ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِأَكْبَرِ الْكَبَائِرِ؟ الشِّرْكُ بِاللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، وَعُقُوقُ الْوَالِدَيْنِ“، وَكَانَ مُتَّكِئًا فَاحْتَفَزَ قَالَ: ”وَالزُّورُ.“
Sayyiduna Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What do you say about adultery, drinking wine, and theft?" We said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He (peace be upon him) said: "They are extremely evil and lowly deeds, and there are prescribed punishments for them." (And) "Shall I not inform you about the gravest of sins?" (He said they are:) "Associating partners with Allah the Exalted, and disobedience to parents." He was reclining, then he sat up straight and said: "And lying (is also a very great sin)."
