Musaddad narrated to us. He said: Isma'il ibn Ibrahim narrated to us. He said: Ziyad ibn Mikhraq narrated to us. He said: Taysalah ibn Mayyas narrated to me: I was with the Najadites, and I committed sins that I considered to be among the grave sins. I mentioned that to Ibn 'Umar. He said: “What are they?” I said: “Such-and-such.” He said: “These are not among the grave sins. They are nine: associating partners with Allah; killing a person; fleeing from the advance; accusing a chaste woman of adultery; consuming usury; consuming an orphan's property; heresy in the mosque; the one who makes a mockery; and the parents' weeping because of disobedience to them.” Ibn 'Umar said to me: “Do you fear the Fire, and do you wish to enter the Garden?” I said: “Yes, by Allah.” He said: “Is your father alive?” I said: “I have my mother.” He said: “By Allah, if you speak gently to her and feed her, you will surely enter the Garden, provided you avoid the grave sins.”
