Sahih al-Bukhari 4761 (Book 65, Hadith 283) #4544
The Biggest Sins According to Prophet Muhammad

SUMMARY: The biggest sin in the sight of Allah is to set up a rival in worship, followed by killing one's son and committing illegal sexual intercourse with the wife of one's neighbor.

Narrated 'Abdullah: I or somebody, asked Allah's Messenger "Which is the biggest sin in the Sight of Allah?" He said, "That you set up a rival (in worship) to Allah though He Alone created you". I asked, "What is next?" He said, "Then, that you kill your son, being afraid that he may share your meals with you". I asked, "What is next?" He said, "That you commit illegal sexual intercourse with the wife of your neighbor". Then the following Verse was revealed to confirm the statement of Allah's Messenger : "Those who invoke not with Allah, any other god, nor kill life as Allah has forbidden except for just cause, nor commit illegal sexual intercourse". (25:68)
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَنْصُورٌ، وَسُلَيْمَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَيْسَرَةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ،‏.‏ قَالَ وَحَدَّثَنِي وَاصِلٌ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ ـ أَوْ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ أَىُّ الذَّنْبِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَكْبَرُ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ لِلَّهِ نِدًّا وَهْوَ خَلَقَكَ ‏"‏‏.‏ قُلْتُ ثُمَّ أَىٌّ قَالَ ‏"‏ ثُمَّ أَنْ تَقْتُلَ وَلَدَكَ خَشْيَةَ أَنْ يَطْعَمَ مَعَكَ‏"‏‏.‏ قُلْتُ ثُمَّ أَىٌّ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَنْ تُزَانِيَ بِحَلِيلَةِ جَارِكَ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ وَنَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الآيَةُ تَصْدِيقًا لِقَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ‏{‏وَالَّذِينَ لاَ يَدْعُونَ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ وَلاَ يَقْتُلُونَ النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلاَّ بِالْحَقِّ وَلَا يَزْنُونَ‏}‏

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, Prophet Muhammad explains that the biggest sin in the sight of Allah is setting up a rival in worship. This means that worshipping any other god besides Allah is considered an unforgivable transgression. Furthermore, he states that killing one’s own son out of fear or greed is also considered a major sin. Lastly, he mentions that adultery with another man’s wife is also prohibited and should not be done. These three sins are all considered major transgressions and should be avoided at all costs as they are against Islamic teachings and values.
