The Greatest of the Major Sins

Transliteration

Ala unabbi'ukum bi-akbaril-kaba'ir? Qulna: bala ya rasulallah. Qal: al-ishraku billah, wa 'uququl-walidayn. Wa kana muttaki'an fajalasa faqal: ala wa qawluz-zuri wa shahadatuz-zur, ala wa qawluz-zuri wa shahadatuz-zur

Translation

Narrated Abu Bakrah (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said three times, "Shall I not tell you of the greatest of the major sins?" We said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Associating partners with Allah and disobedience to parents." He had been reclining, then he sat up and said, "And beware of false speech and false testimony," and he kept repeating it until we wished he would stop.
