حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ الْوَاسِطِيُّ عَنْ الْجُرَيْرِيِّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَکْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَلَا أُنَبِّئُکُمْ بِأَکْبَرِ الْکَبَائِرِ قُلْنَا بَلَی يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ الْإِشْرَاکُ بِاللَّهِ وَعُقُوقُ الْوَالِدَيْنِ وَکَانَ مُتَّکِئًا فَجَلَسَ فَقَالَ أَلَا وَقَوْلُ الزُّورِ وَشَهَادَةُ الزُّورِ أَلَا وَقَوْلُ الزُّورِ وَشَهَادَةُ الزُّورِ فَمَا زَالَ يَقُولُهَا حَتَّی قُلْتُ لَا يَسْکُتُ
صحیح بخاری · Hadith 5977
Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah's Apostle mentioned the greatest sins or he was asked about the greatest sins. He said, "To join partners in worship with Allah; to kill a soul which Allah has forbidden to kill; and to be undutiful or unkind to one's parents." The Prophet added, "Shall I inform you of the biggest of the great sins? That is the forged statement or the false witness." Shu`ba (the sub-narrator) states that most probably the Prophet said, "the false witness."
