مُسْنَدُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ
Musnad of Abdullah bin Mas'ud
Musnad Abi Ya'la 5098 — the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked which sin
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو شِهَابٍ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ: سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: أَيُّ الذَّنْبِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَكْبَرُ؟ قَالَ: «أَنْ تَجْعَلَ لِلَّهِ نِدًّا وَهُوَ خَلَقَكَ»، قَالَ: ثُمَّ أَيُّ؟ قَالَ: «ثُمَّ تُزَانِيَ حَلِيلَةَ جَارِكَ»، قَالَ: فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَصْدِيقَهَا: {وَالَّذِينَ لَا يَدْعُونَ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ وَلَا يَقْتُلُونَ النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَلَا يَزْنُونَ} [الفرقان: 68]
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked which sin is the greatest in the sight of Allah Almighty. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That you set up a rival and partner to Allah, while it is He who created you." He asked: Then which sin is greatest after that? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then that you commit adultery with your neighbour's wife." Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that Allah Almighty revealed this noble verse confirming those words: "And those who do not invoke another god along with Allah, nor kill the soul which Allah has forbidden except by right, nor commit adultery" [Al-Furqan: 68].
