Hadith 12

(The book) ‘Al Khisaal’ – in a report of Al Amsh, ‘From Al-Sadiq-asws: ‘The major sins are Prohibited, and these are – the Shirk (association) with Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic; and killing the soul which Allah-azwj has Prohibited; and disobeying the parents; and fleeing from the battle march; and consuming wealth of the orphan unjustly; and consuming the interest after the proof; and slandering the married women. And after that is the adultery, and the sodomy, and the stealing, and eating the dead, and the blood, and meat of the pig, and whatever has been offered for other than Allah-azwj (e. g. , idols), from without being desperate. And consuming the ill-gotten gains, and the underestimation in the measure and the weight, and the gambling, and the false testimony, and the despair from Mercy of Allah-azwj, and feeling safe from Plan of Allah-azwj, and the despair from Mercy of Allah-azwj, and neglecting assisting the oppressed, and the inclining to the oppressors. And the oath immersed in sin, and withholding the rights from without having (financial) hardship, and utilising the arrogance, and the compulsion, and the lying, and the extravagance, and the wasting, and the betraying, and taking lightly with the Hajj, and battling friends of Allah-azwj Mighty and Majestic. And the amusements which hinder from Zikr of Allah-azwj Blessed and Exalted, abhorrence(s) like the singing, and striking the strings (of guitar etc. ), and the persistence upon the minor sins’. Then he-asws said: ‘Surely in this there is a Message for a worshipping people [21: 106]’’. [11]
