(1) The researcher of the book has declared the mentioned narration weak in terms of its chain of transmission, whereas other scholars, such as the hadith scholar of our era, Allamah Albani and Allamah Atiyubi, etc., have graded it as hasan (good).

The greatest among them is associating partners with Allah, and (the others are:) killing a believer unjustly, fleeing from the battlefield on the day of battle, accusing a chaste woman of immorality, practicing magic, consuming the wealth of an orphan, consuming usury, disobeying Muslim parents, and fighting in the House of Allah (the Ka‘bah)…” For further details of the narration, see: (al-Mustadrak lil-Hakim: 1/59, and as-Sunan al-Kubra lil-Bayhaqi: 10/186).
