حَدَّثَنَا بَكْرُ بْنُ سَهْلٍ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، فِي قَوْلِهِ: {الَّذِينَ يَجْتَنِبُونَ كَبَائِرَ الْإِثْمِ وَالْفَوَاحِشَ} [النجم: ٣٢] ، قَالَ: أَكْبَرُ الْكَبَائِرِ الْإِشْرَاكُ بِاللهِ، لِأَنَّ اللهَ قَالَ: {مَنْ يُشْرِكْ بِاللهِ فَقَدْ حَرَّمَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ الْجَنَّةَ} [المائدة: ٧٢] ، وَالْيَأْسُ مِنْ رَوْحِ اللهِ قَالَ اللهُ: {لَا يَيْأَسُ مِنْ رَوْحِ اللهِ إِلَّا الْقَوْمُ الْكَافِرُونَ} [يوسف: ٨٧] ، وَالْآخِرَةُ مِنْ مَكْرِ اللهِ لِأَنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ: {لَا يَأْمَنُ مَكْرَ اللهِ إِلَّا الْقَوْمُ الْخَاسِرُونَ} ، وَمِنْهَا عُقُوقُ الْوَالِدَيْنِ لِأَنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ، جَعَلَ الْعَاقَّ جَبَّارًا شَقِيًّا، وَقَتْلُ النَّفْسِ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللهُ إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ لِأَنَّ اللهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى يَقُولُ: {فَجَزَاؤُهُ جَهَنَّمُ} [النساء: ٩٣] الْآيَةَ، وَقَذْفُ الْمُحْصَنَاتِ، لِأَنَّ اللهَ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ يَقُولُ: {لُعِنُوا فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ وَلَهُمْ عَذَابٌ عَظِيمٌ} [النور: ٢٣] ، وَأَكْلُ مَالِ الْيَتِيمِ، لِأَنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ: {إِنَّمَا يَأْكُلُونَ فِي بُطُونِهِمْ نَارًا وَسَيَصْلَوْنَ سَعِيرًا} [النساء: ١٠] وَالْفِرَارُ مِنَ الزَّحْفِ، لِأَنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى يَقُولُ: {وَمَنْ يُوَلِّهِمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ دُبُرَهُ إِلَّا مُتَحَرِّفًا لِقِتَالٍ أَوْ مُتَحَيِّزًا إِلَى فِئَةٍ فَقَدْ بَاءَ بِغَضَبٍ مِنَ اللهِ وَمَأْوَاهُ جَهَنَّمُ وَبِئْسَ الْمَصِيرُ} [الأنفال: ١٦] وَأَكْلُ الرِّبَا، لِأَنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى يَقُولُ: {الَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونُ الرِّبَا لَا يَقُومُونَ إِلَّا كَمَا يَقُومُ الَّذِي يَتَخَبَّطُهُ} [البقرة: ٢٧٥] الشَّيْطَانُ مِنَ الْمَسِّ وَالسِّحْرُ، لِأَنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى يَقُولُ: {وَلَقَدْ عَلِمُوا لِمَنِ اشْتَرَاهُ مَا لَهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ مِنْ خَلَاقٍ} [البقرة: ١٠٢] وَالزِّنَا لِأَنَّ اللهَ يَقُولُ: {يَلْقَ أَثَامًا} [الفرقان: ٦٩] يُضَاعَفْ لَهُ الْعَذَابُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَيَخْلُدْ فِيهِ مُهَانًا، وَالْيَمِينُ الْغَمُوسُ الْفَاجِرَةُ، لِأَنَّ اللهَ يَقُولُ: {إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا} [آل عمران: ٧٧] الْآيَةَ، وَالْغُلُولُ، لِأَنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى يَقُولُ: {وَمَنْ يَغْلُلْ} [آل عمران: ١٦١] يَأْتِ بِمَا غَلَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ، وَمَنْعُ الزَّكَاةِ الْمَفْرُوضَةِ، لِأَنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى قَالَ: {فَتُكْوَى بِهَا جِبَاهُهُمْ وَجُنُوبُهُمْ وَظُهُورُهُمْ} [التوبة: ٣٥] وَشَهَادَةُ الزُّورِ، لِأَنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ: {وَمَنْ يَكْتُمْهَا فَإِنَّهُ آثِمٌ} [البقرة: ٢٨٣] قَلْبُهُ وَشُرْبُ الْخَمْرِ، لِأَنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَدَلَ بِهَا الْأَوْثَانَ، وَتَرْكُ الصَّلَاةِ مُتَعَمِّدًا أَوْ شَيْئًا مِمَّا فَرَضَ اللهُ، لِأَنَّ الرَّسُولَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «مَنْ تَرَكَ الصَّلَاةَ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَقَدْ بَرِئَتْ مِنْهُ ذِمَّةُ اللهِ وَذِمَّةُ رَسُولِهِ» وَنَقْضُ الْعَهْدِ، وَقَطِيعَةُ الرَّحِمِ
Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said concerning this saying of Allah Almighty: "Those who avoid the major sins and immoralities" [Surah al-Najm: 32]: The greatest of the major sins is associating partners with Allah, because Allah says: "Whoever associates partners with Allah, Allah has forbidden Paradise for him" [Surah al-Ma'idah: 72]; and despairing of the mercy of Allah, Allah says: "None despairs of the mercy of Allah except the disbelieving people" [Surah Yusuf: 87]; and feeling secure from the plan of Allah, because Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says: "None feels secure from the plan of Allah except the people who are losers"; and among them is disobedience to parents, because Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, has declared the disobedient one to be tyrannical and wretched; and killing a soul which Allah has made sacred, except by right, because Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, says: "His recompense is Hell" [Surah al-Nisa: 93] (the verse); and slandering chaste women, because Allah, exalted be His mention, says: "They are cursed in this world and the Hereafter, and for them is a great punishment" [Surah al-Nur: 23]; and consuming the wealth of the orphan, because Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says: "They are only filling their bellies with fire, and they will burn in a blazing Fire" [Surah al-Nisa: 10]; and fleeing from the battlefield, because Allah Almighty says: "And whoever turns his back to them on that day, unless swerving as a strategy of war or withdrawing to join another company, has certainly returned with anger from Allah, and his refuge is Hell, and wretched is the destination" [Surah al-Anfal: 16]; and consuming usury (riba), because Allah Almighty says: "Those who consume usury will not stand except as one stands who has been driven to madness by the touch of Satan" [Surah al-Baqarah: 275]; and sorcery, because Allah Almighty says: "And they certainly knew that whoever purchased it would have no share in the Hereafter" [Surah al-Baqarah: 102]; and adultery, because Allah says: "He will meet a penalty" [Surah al-Furqan: 69], the punishment will be doubled for him on the Day of Resurrection and he will abide therein forever in humiliation; and the false, wicked oath (al-yamin al-ghamus), because Allah says: "Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their oaths for a small price" [Surah Al Imran: 77] (the verse); and misappropriating the spoils of war, because Allah Almighty says: "And whoever misappropriates will come with what he misappropriated on the Day of Resurrection" [Surah Al Imran: 161]; and withholding the obligatory zakah, because Allah Almighty said: "Then their foreheads, their sides and their backs will be branded with it" [Surah al-Tawbah: 35]; and false testimony, because Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says: "And whoever conceals it, his heart is indeed sinful" [Surah al-Baqarah: 283]; and drinking wine, because Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, has placed it on a par with idols; and deliberately abandoning the prayer or any other obligation, because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) says: "Whoever deliberately abandons the prayer, the protection of Allah and the protection of His Messenger are free of him"; and breaking the covenant, and severing the ties of kinship.
