Sahih al-Bukhari 5976 (Book 78, Hadith 7) #5736
Warning Against Great Sins

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ warned against the biggest of the great sins, which are joining partners in worship with Allah and being undutiful to one's parents. He also warned against giving forged statements and false witness.

Narrated Abu Bakra: Allah's Messenger said thrice, "Shall I not inform you of the biggest of the great sins?" We said, "Yes, O Allah's Messenger " He said, "To join partners in worship with Allah: to be undutiful to one's parents". The Prophet sat up after he had been reclining and added, "And I warn you against giving forged statement and a false witness; I warn you against giving a forged statement and a false witness". The Prophet kept on saying that warning till we thought that he would not stop.
حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ الْوَاسِطِيُّ، عَنِ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ أَلاَ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِأَكْبَرِ الْكَبَائِرِ ‏"‏‏.‏ قُلْنَا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ الإِشْرَاكُ بِاللَّهِ، وَعُقُوقُ الْوَالِدَيْنِ ‏"‏‏.‏ وَكَانَ مُتَّكِئًا فَجَلَسَ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ أَلاَ وَقَوْلُ الزُّورِ وَشَهَادَةُ الزُّورِ، أَلاَ وَقَوْلُ الزُّورِ وَشَهَادَةُ الزُّورِ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَمَا زَالَ يَقُولُهَا حَتَّى قُلْتُ لاَ يَسْكُتُ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ warns us about some of the greatest sins that we can commit. The first two are joining partners in worship with Allah and being undutiful to one's parents. These two sins are so serious that they have been mentioned together as a warning from Allah ï·» himself in many verses of the Quran. The Prophet ﷺ then goes on to warn us against giving forged statements or false witness, which is also a major sin according to Islamic teachings. This hadith serves as an important reminder for all Muslims to stay away from these major sins and strive for righteousness instead.
