Warning Against the Three Greatest Sins

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) warned against the three greatest sins, which are joining others in worship with Allah, being undutiful to one's parents, and giving a false witness.

Narrated Abu Bakra: The Prophet. said, "The biggest of the great sins are: To join others in worship with Allah, to be undutiful to one's parents, and to give a false witness". He repeated it thrice, or said, ".a false statement," and kept on repeating that warning till we wished he would stop saying it.
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ، حَدَّثَنَا الْجُرَيْرِيُّ، وَحَدَّثَنِي قَيْسُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، أَخْبَرَنَا سَعِيدٌ الْجُرَيْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏ "‏ أَكْبَرُ الْكَبَائِرِ الإِشْرَاكُ بِاللَّهِ، وَعُقُوقُ الْوَالِدَيْنِ، وَشَهَادَةُ الزُّورِ، وَشَهَادَةُ الزُّورِ ـ ثَلاَثًا ـ أَوْ قَوْلُ الزُّورِ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَمَا زَالَ يُكَرِّرُهَا حَتَّى قُلْنَا لَيْتَهُ سَكَتَ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) warned his followers against committing three of the greatest sins. These sins are joining others in worship with Allah, being undutiful to one's parents, and giving a false witness. Joining others in worship with Allah means worshipping anyone or anything other than Him. Being undutiful to one's parents includes disobeying them or not showing them respect and kindness. Giving a false witness means lying about something that you have seen or heard when testifying in court or elsewhere. The Prophet repeated this warning multiple times so that it would be remembered by all who heard it. He wanted us to understand how important it is for us to stay away from these sins as they can lead us astray from our faith and cause harm to ourselves and those around us.
