Sayyiduna Sahl bin Abi Hathmah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from his father: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Avoid the seven major sins!" The people remained silent and no one said anything. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Will you not ask me about them (that is, the major sins)? (They are:) associating partners with Allah Almighty, killing a soul, fleeing from the battlefield, consuming the wealth of an orphan, consuming usury (riba), accusing a chaste woman, and adopting the desert life of the Bedouins after having emigrated."
Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, and its chain contains a narrator, Ibn Lahi'ah.
