Hadith.4932 - Abdul-Azim ibn Abdullah al-Hasani narrated from Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn 'Ali al-Ridha عليه السلام, from his father عليه السلام, who said: I heard my father Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim عليه السلام say: 'Amr ibn 'Ubayd al-Basri entered upon Abu Abdullah عليه السلام. When he greeted him and sat down, he recited the verse: "Those who avoid the major sins" (Surah Al-Shura 42:37), then he stopped. Imam عليه السلام said to him: "What has made you stop?" He replied: "I wish to know the major sins from the Book of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty and Majestic." Imam عليه السلام said: "Yes, O 'Amr, the greatest of the major sins is associating partners with Allah سبحانه وتعالى. Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Blessed and Exalted, says: 'Indeed, Allah does not forgive associating partners with Him' (Surah An-Nisa 4:48). And Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty and Majestic, says: 'Indeed, whoever associates partners with Allah, then Allah has forbidden Paradise for him, and his abode is the Fire, and there are no helpers for the wrongdoers' (Surah Al-Ma'idah 5:72). After that is despairing of the mercy of Allah سبحانه وتعالى - for Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty and Majestic, says: 'Indeed, no one despairs of the mercy of Allah except the disbelieving people' (Surah Yusuf 12:87). Then, feeling secure from the plan of Allah سبحانه وتعالى, for Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Exalted, says: 'None feels secure from the plan of Allah except the losing people' (Surah Al-A'raf 7:99). Among them is disobedience to parents, for Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty and Majestic, has made the disobedient one arrogant and wretched, as He سبحانه وتعالى says in His سبحانه وتعالى Book: 'And dutiful to my mother, and He did not make me an arrogant wretched one' (Surah Maryam 19:32)." And the killing of a soul 'which Allah has forbidden, except by right' (Surah Al-Isra 17:33), for Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty and Majestic, says: 'And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell, wherein he will abide eternally...' (Surah An-Nisa 4:93) until the end of the verse. And accusing chaste women, for Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty and Majestic, says: 'Indeed, those who accuse chaste, unaware, believing women are cursed in this world and the Hereafter, and for them is a great punishment' (Surah An-Nur 24:23). And consuming the wealth of the orphan unjustly, for Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty and Majestic, says: 'Indeed, those who consume the wealth of orphans unjustly are only filling their bellies with fire, and they will be burned in a Blaze' (Surah An-Nisa 4:10). And fleeing from the battlefield, for Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty and Majestic, says: 'And whoever turns his back to them on that day, unless maneuvering for battle or joining another company, has certainly drawn upon himself the wrath of Allah, and his refuge is Hell-and wretched is the destination' (Surah Al-Anfal 8:16). And consuming usury, for Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Exalted, says: 'Those who consume usury will not stand except as one stands who is being beaten by Satan into insanity' (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:275). And Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty and Majestic, says: 'O you who have believed, fear Allah and give up what remains [due to you] of usury, if you should be believers. But if you do not, then be informed of a war from Allah and His Messenger...' (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:278-279). And sorcery, for Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty and Majestic, says: 'And they certainly knew that whoever purchased it would have no share in the Hereafter...' (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:102). And fornication, for Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty and Majestic, says: 'And whoever does that shall meet a penalty. The punishment will be doubled for him on the Day of Resurrection, and he will abide therein humiliated-except for those who repent and believe...' (Surah Al-Furqan 25:68-70). And the false oath (al-yamin al-ghamus), for Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty and Majestic, says: 'Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their oaths for a small price will have no share in the Hereafter...' (Surah Aal-e-Imran 3:77). And misappropriation (ghulul), for Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Exalted, says: 'And whoever misappropriates [an item], he will bring forth what he misappropriated on the Day of Resurrection...' (Surah Aal-e-Imran 3:161)." And withholding the obligatory Zakat, for Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty and Majestic, says: 'On the Day when it will be heated in the fire of Hell and their foreheads, their sides, and their backs will be branded with it: This is what you hoarded for yourselves, so taste what you used to hoard' (Surah At-Tawbah 9:35). And false testimony and concealing testimony, for Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty and Majestic, says: 'And whoever conceals it, his heart is sinful' (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:283). And drinking intoxicants, for Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty and Majestic, has equated it with the worship of idols. And deliberately abandoning prayer or anything that Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Almighty and Majestic, has made obligatory, for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: 'Whoever deliberately abandons prayer has indeed removed himself from the protection of Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, and the protection of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him and his family).' And breaking covenants and severing family ties سبحانه وتعالى, for Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, says: 'For them is the curse, and for them is the worst home' (Surah Ar-Ra'd 13:25). Then 'Amr ibn 'Ubayd left, crying loudly and saying, 'Perished is the one who speaks based on his own opinion and disputes with you (Imam عليه السلام) in virtue and knowledge!'"
