حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ، عَنْ ثَوْرِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الْغَيْثِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ اجْتَنِبُوا السَّبْعَ الْمُوبِقَاتِ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا هُنَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ الشِّرْكُ بِاللَّهِ، وَالسِّحْرُ، وَقَتْلُ النَّفْسِ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلاَّ بِالْحَقِّ، وَأَكْلُ الرِّبَا، وَأَكْلُ مَالِ الْيَتِيمِ، وَالتَّوَلِّي يَوْمَ الزَّحْفِ، وَقَذْفُ الْمُحْصَنَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ الْغَافِلاَتِ ‏"‏‏.‏

ʿAbd al-ʿAziz ibn ʿAbdullah narrated to us: Sulayman narrated to us, from Thawr ibn Zayd, from Abu al-Ghayth, from Abu Hurayra, from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: “Avoid the seven destructive sins.” They asked, “Messenger of God, what are they?” He said, “Associating partners with God; magic; killing a soul that God has forbidden [you to kill], except with due right; consuming usury; consuming an orphan’s property; turning your backs on the enemy on the day of battle; and slandering chaste, believing women who are unaware.”

Notes and open questions — unreviewed
