The Gravest Sins-Part2

Bismillah wal Hamdulillah wa Salat u wa Salam Ala Rasul Allah

Abu Bakrah Nufai‘ bin Al-Harith reported: The Messenger of Allah said, “Shall I not inform you of the gravest of the major sins?” The Messenger of Allah asked this question thrice. We said, “Yes, O Messenger of Allah. (Please inform us).” He said, “Ascribing partners with Allah and being undutiful to your parents.” The Messenger of Allah sat up from his reclining position and said, “And I warn you against making a false statement and a false testimony; I warn you against making a false statement and a false testimony.” The Messenger of Allah kept on repeating that warning till we said: We wish he would stop.
