Sahih al-Bukhari 6001 (Book 78, Hadith 32) #5761
Greatest Sins According to Prophet Muhammad

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

Narrated 'Abdullah: I said 'O Allah's Messenger ! Which sin is the greatest?" He said, "To set up a rival unto Allah, though He Alone created you". I said, "What next?" He said, "To kill your son lest he should share your food with you". I further asked, "What next?" He said, "To commit illegal sexual intercourse with the wife of your neighbor". And then Allah revealed as proof of the statement of the Prophet: 'Those who invoke not with Allah any other god). (to end of verse)'. (25:68)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ كَثِيرٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُرَحْبِيلَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَىُّ الذَّنْبِ أَعْظَمُ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ لِلَّهِ نِدًّا وَهْوَ خَلَقَكَ ‏"‏‏.‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَىُّ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَنْ تَقْتُلَ وَلَدَكَ خَشْيَةَ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ مَعَكَ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَىُّ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَنْ تُزَانِيَ حَلِيلَةَ جَارِكَ ‏"‏‏.‏ وَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَصْدِيقَ قَوْلِ النَّبِيِّ ‏{‏وَالَّذِينَ لاَ يَدْعُونَ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ‏}‏‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, Prophet Muhammad explains that the greatest sin is setting up a rival to Allah, which means worshipping someone or something other than Him. This is followed by killing one’s own son out of fear that he will share his food with him. Lastly, it is forbidden for a person to commit illegal sexual intercourse with the wife of his neighbor. These sins are considered so grave that Allah revealed verses in the Quran as proof of what Prophet Muhammad said about them.
