حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ وَاصِلٍ الْأَحْدَبِ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ قَ
الَ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَيُّ الذَّنْبِ أَعْظَمُ قَالَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ لِلَّهِ نِدًّا وَهُوَ خَلَقَكَ وَأَنْ تُزَانِيَ بِحَلِيلَةِ جَارِكَ وَأَنْ تَقْتُلَ وَلَدَكَ أَجْلَ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ مَعَكَ أَوْ يَأْكُلَ طَعَامَكَ

English Translation
It was narrated from 'Abdullah (رضي الله عنه) — via Muhammad ibn Ja'far, from Shu'ba, from Wasil al-Ahdab, from Abu Wa'il — that he said: 'I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: which sin is greatest? He said: "That you set up a rival [nidd] to Allah while He created you, and that you commit adultery with the wife [halila] of your neighbor, and that you kill your child for fear that he will eat with you" — or: "eat your food."'
