Sahih Muslim 86a (Book 1, Hadith 163) #7428
The Three Greatest Sins

SUMMARY: The gravest sin in the eyes of Allah is associating partners with Him, followed by killing one's own child out of fear that they will consume food, and then committing adultery with the wife of one's neighbor.

'Abdullah reported: I asked the Messenger of Allah : Which sin is the gravest in the eye of Allah? He (the Holy Prophet) replied: That you associate a partner with Allah (despite the fact) that He has created you. He (the reporter) said: I told him (the, Holy Prophet): Verily it is indeed grave. He (the reporter) said: I asked him what the next (gravest sin) was. He (the Holy Prophet) replied: That you kill your child out of fear that he shall join you in food. He (the reporter) said: I asked (him) what the next (gravest sin) was. He (the Holy Prophet) observed: Then (the next gravest sin) is that you commit adultery with the wife of your neighbour.
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ أَخْبَرَنَا جَرِيرٌ، وَقَالَ، عُثْمَانُ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ، عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُرَحْبِيلَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَىُّ الذَّنْبِ أَعْظَمُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ لِلَّهِ نِدًّا وَهُوَ خَلَقَكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ إِنَّ ذَلِكَ لَعَظِيمٌ ‏.‏ قَالَ قُلْتُ ثُمَّ أَىٌّ قَالَ ‏"‏ ثُمَّ أَنْ تَقْتُلَ وَلَدَكَ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يَطْعَمَ مَعَكَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ قُلْتُ ثُمَّ أَىٌّ قَالَ ‏"‏ ثُمَّ أَنْ تُزَانِيَ حَلِيلَةَ جَارِكَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith from Abdullah ibn Mas'ud explains the three greatest sins in the eyes of Allah. The first and most serious sin is to associate partners with Allah, which means to believe that there are other gods besides Him or to give something else equal status as God. This is considered a grave offense because it goes against His commandment that He alone should be worshipped. The second greatest sin is killing one's own child out of fear that they will consume food; this act goes against the natural bond between parent and child and shows a lack of faith in God’s ability to provide for them. Lastly, committing adultery with someone else’s spouse is considered a great sin because it violates another person’s right to privacy and trust within their marriage. All three sins are serious offenses in Islam and should be avoided at all costs.
