Sunan an-Nasa'i
The Book of Wills
كتاب الوصايا
Chapter 12
اجْتِنَابِ أَكْلِ مَالِ الْيَتِيمِ
It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah said: ‘Avoid the seven destructive sins.’ They asked, ‘O Messenger of Allah, what are they?’ He replied: ‘Associating partners with Allah; greed; killing a soul that Allah has forbidden, except by right; consuming usury; consuming an orphan’s property; fleeing on the day of battle; and accusing chaste, unsuspecting believing women of adultery.’
Translation notes
The Arabic lists greed (al-shuhh); the English witness instead includes magic and omits greed. This translation follows the Arabic source.
قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا هِيَ قَالَ " الشِّرْكُ بِاللَّهِ وَالشُّحُّ وَقَتْلُ النَّفْسِ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلاَّ بِالْحَقِّ وَأَكْلُ الرِّبَا وَأَكْلُ مَالِ الْيَتِيمِ وَالتَّوَلِّي يَوْمَ الزَّحْفِ وَقَذْفُ الْمُحْصَنَاتِ الْغَافِلاَتِ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ ".
The Arabic says al-shuhh (greed/miserliness), while the English witness says magic and omits this item.
Should the English record follow the Arabic wording here? The translation follows Arabic and renders al-shuhh as greed.
