Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ قَالَ ذَكَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْكَبَائِرَ أَوْ سُئِلَ عَنْ الْكَبَائِرِ فَقَالَ الشِّرْكُ بِاللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَقَتْلُ النَّفْسِ وَعُقُوقُ الْوَالِدَيْنِ وَقَالَ أَلَا أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِأَكْبَرِ الْكَبَائِرِ قَالَ قَوْلُ الزُّورِ أَوْ قَالَ شَهَادَةُ الزُّورِ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ أَكْبَرُ ظَنِّي أَنَّهُ قَالَ شَهَادَةُ الزُّورِ.
English Translation
Anas ibn Malik said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) mentioned the major sins - or was asked about them - and said: "Associating partners with Allah, killing a soul, disobedience to parents." Then he said: "Shall I not tell you about the greatest of the major sins? False speech" - or he said: "False testimony." Shu'bah said: I mostly think he said: "False testimony."
