حَدَّثَنِي عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ شُرَحْبِيلَ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَيُّ الذَّنْبِ أَعْظَمُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ قَالَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ لِلَّهِ نِدًّا وَهُوَ خَلَقَکَ قُلْتُ إِنَّ ذَلِکَ لَعَظِيمٌ قُلْتُ ثُمَّ أَيُّ قَالَ وَأَنْ تَقْتُلَ وَلَدَکَ تَخَافُ أَنْ يَطْعَمَ مَعَکَ قُلْتُ ثُمَّ أَيُّ قَالَ أَنْ تُزَانِيَ حَلِيلَةَ جَارِکَ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 4479
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "It was said to the children of Israel, 'Enter the gate (of the town), prostrate (in humility) and say: Hittatun (i.e. repentance) i.e. O Allah! Forgive our sins.' But they entered by dragging themselves on their buttocks, so they did something different (from what they had been ordered to do) and said, 'Hittatun,' but added, "A grain in a hair."
