حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الْجُرَيْرِيُّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: أَلاَ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِأَكْبَرِ الْكَبَائِرِ؟ ثَلاَثًا، قَالُوا: بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، قَالَ: الإِشْرَاكُ بِاللَّهِ، وَعُقُوقُ الْوَالِدَيْنِ وَجَلَسَ وَكَانَ مُتَّكِئًا أَلاَ وَقَوْلُ الزُّورِ، مَا زَالَ يُكَرِّرُهَا حَتَّى قُلْتُ: لَيْتَهُ سَكَتَ.

Musaddad narrated to us. He said: Bishr ibn al-Fadl narrated to us. He said: al-Jurayri narrated to us, from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Bakrah, from his father, who said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: “Shall I tell you about the gravest of the grave sins?” He asked this three times. They said: “Yes indeed, Messenger of Allah.” He said: “Associating partners with Allah, and disobedience to parents.” He sat up while he had been reclining and said: “Pay attention: and false testimony.” He kept repeating it until I said: “I wish he would stop.”
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ،
The Arabic contains a transmission chain from Musaddad through 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Bakrah, while the witness begins with Abu Bakrah.
Should the English witness be marked as abridged for this occurrence?
عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم: أَلاَ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِأَكْبَرِ الْكَبَائِرِ؟
ثلاثًا marks repetition of the question, but the witness does not state the number.
Should the witness's omission of the threefold repetition be documented?
