Hadith.4931 - Ali ibn Hassan al-Wasiti narrated from his uncle, Abdur-Rahman ibn Kathir, from Abu Abdullah (as), who said: "Indeed, the major sins are seven, revealed concerning us and made permissible against us. The first of them is associating partners with Allah (swt), the Almighty, the killing of a soul 'which Allah (swt) has forbidden' (Almighty and Majestic), consuming the wealth of an orphan, disobedience to parents, accusing a chaste woman, fleeing from the battlefield, and denying our (Ahlulbayt (as)) right. As for associating partners with Allah (swt), the Almighty, Allah (swt) has revealed regarding us what He (swt) has revealed, and the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) has spoken about us what He (sw) has spoken. But they denied Allah (swt) and denied His Messenger (sw), thus associating partners with Allah (swt). And as for the killing of a soul 'which Allah has forbidden', Indeed, they killed Imam Hussain ibn Ali (as) and his companions. As for consuming the wealth of the orphan, they took away our (Ahlulbayt (as)) rightful share of the spoils that Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, had assigned to us and gave it to others instead of us. As for disobedience to parents, Allah (swt), the Blessed and Exalted, revealed this in His (swt) Book, saying: 'The Prophet is closer to the believers than their own selves, and his wives are their mothers' (Surah Al-Ahzab 33:6). Yet, they disobeyed the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) concerning his progeny, and they disobeyed their mother Khadijah through her children. As for accusing a chaste woman, they accused Sayyida Fatimah {s.a} from their pulpits. As for fleeing from the battlefield, they pledged allegiance to the Commander of the Faithful (as) willingly, without coercion, but they abandoned Him (as) and betrayed Him (as). As for denying Our (Ahlulbayt (as)) right, this is they do without dispute."

Hadith.4932 - Abdul-Azim ibn Abdullah al-Hasani narrated from Abu Ja'far Muhammad ibn 'Ali al-Ridha (as), from his father (as), who said: I heard my father Imam Musa ibn Jafar Al-Kadhim (as) say: 'Amr ibn 'Ubayd al-Basri entered upon Abu Abdullah (as). When he greeted him and sat down, he recited the verse: "Those who avoid the major sins" (Surah Al-Shura 42:37), then he stopped. Imam (as) said to him: "What has made you stop?" He replied: "I wish to know the major sins from the Book of Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic." Imam (as) said: "Yes, O 'Amr, the greatest of the major sins is associating partners with Allah (swt). Allah (swt), the Blessed and Exalted, says: 'Indeed, Allah does not forgive associating partners with Him' (Surah An-Nisa 4:48). And Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, says: 'Indeed, whoever associates partners with Allah, then Allah has forbidden Paradise for him, and his abode is the Fire, and there are no helpers for the wrongdoers' (Surah Al-Ma'idah 5:72). After that is despairing of the mercy of Allah (swt) - for Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, says: 'Indeed, no one despairs of the mercy of Allah except the disbelieving people' (Surah Yusuf 12:87). Then, feeling secure from the plan of Allah (swt), for Allah (swt), the Exalted, says: 'None feels secure from the plan of Allah except the losing people' (Surah Al-A'raf 7:99). Among them is disobedience to parents, for Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, has made the disobedient one arrogant and wretched, as He (swt) says in His (swt) Book: 'And dutiful to my mother, and He did not make me an arrogant wretched one' (Surah Maryam 19:32)." And the killing of a soul 'which Allah has forbidden, except by right' (Surah Al-Isra 17:33), for Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, says: 'And whoever kills a believer intentionally, his recompense is Hell, wherein he will abide eternally...' (Surah An-Nisa 4:93) until the end of the verse. And accusing chaste women, for Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, says: 'Indeed, those who accuse chaste, unaware, believing women are cursed in this world and the Hereafter, and for them is a great punishment' (Surah An-Nur 24:23). And consuming the wealth of the orphan unjustly, for Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, says: 'Indeed, those who consume the wealth of orphans unjustly are only filling their bellies with fire, and they will be burned in a Blaze' (Surah An-Nisa 4:10). And fleeing from the battlefield, for Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, says: 'And whoever turns his back to them on that day, unless maneuvering for battle or joining another company, has certainly drawn upon himself the wrath of Allah, and his refuge is Hell-and wretched is the destination' (Surah Al-Anfal 8:16). And consuming usury, for Allah (swt), the Exalted, says: 'Those who consume usury will not stand except as one stands who is being beaten by Satan into insanity' (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:275). And Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, says: 'O you who have believed, fear Allah and give up what remains [due to you] of usury, if you should be believers. But if you do not, then be informed of a war from Allah and His Messenger...' (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:278-279). And sorcery, for Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, says: 'And they certainly knew that whoever purchased it would have no share in the Hereafter...' (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:102). And fornication, for Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, says: 'And whoever does that shall meet a penalty. The punishment will be doubled for him on the Day of Resurrection, and he will abide therein humiliated-except for those who repent and believe...' (Surah Al-Furqan 25:68-70). And the false oath (al-yamin al-ghamus), for Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, says: 'Indeed, those who exchange the covenant of Allah and their oaths for a small price will have no share in the Hereafter...' (Surah Aal-e-Imran 3:77). And misappropriation (ghulul), for Allah (swt), the Exalted, says: 'And whoever misappropriates [an item], he will bring forth what he misappropriated on the Day of Resurrection...' (Surah Aal-e-Imran 3:161)." And withholding the obligatory Zakat, for Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, says: 'On the Day when it will be heated in the fire of Hell and their foreheads, their sides, and their backs will be branded with it: This is what you hoarded for yourselves, so taste what you used to hoard' (Surah At-Tawbah 9:35). And false testimony and concealing testimony, for Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, says: 'And whoever conceals it, his heart is sinful' (Surah Al-Baqarah 2:283). And drinking intoxicants, for Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, has equated it with the worship of idols. And deliberately abandoning prayer or anything that Allah (swt), the Almighty and Majestic, has made obligatory, for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: 'Whoever deliberately abandons prayer has indeed removed himself from the protection of Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, and the protection of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him and his family).' And breaking covenants and severing family ties (swt), for Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, says: 'For them is the curse, and for them is the worst home' (Surah Ar-Ra'd 13:25). Then 'Amr ibn 'Ubayd left, crying loudly and saying, 'Perished is the one who speaks based on his own opinion and disputes with you (Imam (as)) in virtue and knowledge!'"

Hadith.4933 - And it has been narrated in another report: "Indeed, injustice in a will is among the major sins."

Translation: Bab Ul Qaim Publications — attributed by Thaqalayn·The Arabic above is the original.

Hadith.4934 - Imam Ali ibn Musa Ar-Ridha (as) wrote to Muhammad ibn Sinan in response to his questions: "Allah (swt) has forbidden the killing of a soul because of the corruption it would cause among creation if it were permitted, leading to their annihilation and the disruption of order. Allah (swt), Blessed and Exalted, has forbidden disobedience to parents because it entails abandoning reverence for Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, and respect for parents. It also involves ingratitude for blessings, the nullification of gratitude, and leads to a decrease and eventual cessation of offspring due to the lack of respect and recognition of parents' rights, the severing of family ties, and the parents' disinterest in their children, resulting in neglecting their upbringing due to the child's failure to honor them. Allah (swt), the Exalted, has forbidden adultery because of the corruption it brings, such as the killing of souls, the loss of lineage, neglect in raising children, the disruption of inheritance, and other forms of corruption that arise from it. And Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, has forbidden the slandering of chaste women because it leads to the corruption of lineage, denial of children, disruption of inheritance, neglect in upbringing, and the loss of relationships and associations. It also includes grave sins and causes that lead to the corruption of creation. Allah (swt) has forbidden the consumption of an orphan's wealth unjustly due to many reasons related to corruption. The foremost of these is that when a person consumes the wealth of an orphan unjustly, it is as if he has contributed to the orphan's death. The orphan is not self-sufficient, cannot manage his own affairs, and has no one to care for him as his parents would. Thus, when his wealth is consumed, it is as though he has been killed, leading him to poverty and destitution, in addition to what Allah (swt) has forbidden and the punishment He has set, as Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, says: 'And let those fear [injustice] who, if they left behind weak offspring, would be fearful for them. So let them fear Allah and speak words of appropriate justice' (Surah An-Nisa 4:9)."" And Abu Ja'far Imam Muhammad ibn Ali Al-Baqir (as) said: "Indeed, Allah (swt) has promised two punishments for consuming the wealth of an orphan: a punishment in this world and a punishment in the Hereafter." Thus, the prohibition of consuming the wealth of an orphan ensures the preservation of the orphan, their independence, and the safety of their descendants from facing the same consequences due to the punishment Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, has promised. Additionally, it prevents the orphan from seeking revenge when they grow up and stops the spread of hatred, enmity, and hostility, which could lead to mutual destruction. Allah (swt) has forbidden fleeing from the battlefield because it weakens the religion, shows disregard for the messengers and just Imams (peace be upon them), and results in abandoning their support against enemies. It leads to punishment for denying what they called toward-acknowledging the Lordship (azj) of Allah (swt), establishing justice, and rejecting oppression-thus allowing oppression and corruption to prevail. Moreover, it emboldens the enemy against Muslims, leading to captivity, killing, and the nullification of Allah's (swt) true religion and other forms of corruption. Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, has forbidden reverting to a nomadic life after migration because it entails turning away from religion, abandoning the support of prophets and divine proofs (peace be upon them), and causing corruption while nullifying the rights of those deserving them. This prohibition is not due to merely living in the desert. For this reason, if a person fully understands the religion, it is impermissible for them to live among the ignorant and those who instill fear, as there is a risk they may abandon knowledge, associate with the ignorant, and persist in ignorance. The reason for the prohibition of usury is due to what Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, has forbidden and because of the corruption it brings to wealth. When a person buys one dirham with two dirhams, the value of one dirham is legitimate while the other is invalid. Thus, both selling and buying through usury result in loss for both the buyer and the seller in every case. Therefore, Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, has forbidden usury due to the corruption it causes in wealth, just as He has prohibited handing over wealth to the foolish because of the fear that they would squander it, until their sound judgment is observed. For this reason, Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, has forbidden usury. The sale involving usury is like selling one dirham for two dirhams. The reason for the prohibition of usury, even after clear evidence, is because it reflects disregard for what Allah (swt) has forbidden. It becomes a major sin after clarification, and Allah's (swt) prohibition of it is only due to treating the sacred and forbidden lightly. Taking it lightly leads to disbelief. The reason for the prohibition of deferred usury (riba al-nasi'ah) is because it leads to the loss of kindness, the destruction of wealth, people becoming overly focused on profit, abandoning loans, and neglecting charitable lending, which is a form of kindness. It results in corruption, oppression, and the eventual destruction of wealth."

Hadith.4937 - Hisham ibn al-Hakam asked Abu Abdillah (as) about the reason for the prohibition of usury.

It was asked: "O Messenger of Allah (swt), why is the magician among the disbelievers not executed?" He (sw) replied: "Because polytheism is greater than magic, and indeed, magic and polytheism are closely linked."

Hadith.4940 - It is narrated from Isma'il ibn Mihran, from Ahmad ibn Muhammad, from Jabir, from Sayyidah Zaynab bint Ali {s.a}, who said that Sayyidah Fatimah {s.a}, peace be upon them all stated in her sermon regarding Fadak: "Allah (swt) has placed upon you a covenant that He (swt) advanced to you and a successor He (swt) has appointed over you-the Book of Allah (swt). Its insights are clear, its signs are evident, its inner meanings are unveiled, and its proofs are manifest. It is a guide whose listening is continuous for creation, a leader whose followers are led to Allah's (swt) pleasure, and it brings salvation to its adherents. Within it are the explanations of Allah's (swt) illuminated arguments, His (swt) defined prohibitions, His (swt) encouraged virtues, His (swt) comprehensive instructions, His (swt) granted allowances, and His (swt) prescribed laws. Allah (swt) has obligated faith as purification from polytheism, prayer as a means of distancing from arrogance, zakat as an increase in sustenance, fasting as a clarification of sincerity, Hajj as a strengthening of religion, justice as a source of comfort for hearts, obedience as a system for the community, leadership (Imamate) as a means to unite the people, jihad as an honor for Islam, patience as aid in seeking rewards, enjoining good as a benefit for the public, honoring parents as protection from Allah's (swt) anger, maintaining family ties as a cause for increasing progeny, legal retribution as a safeguard for blood, fulfilling vows as a path to forgiveness, giving full measure and weight as a safeguard against cheating, avoiding the slander of chaste women as protection from curse, abstaining from theft as a guarantee of chastity, and refraining from consuming the wealth of orphans as protection from injustice. Justice in rulings ensures comfort for the subjects, and Allah (swt) has forbidden polytheism to ensure sincerity in His Lordship (azj). So, 'Fear Allah (swt) as He (swt) should be feared' in what Allah (swt) has commanded you and refrain from what He has prohibited you from."

(Surah An-Nisa 4:9) This means that one should fear that Allah (swt) might deal with his own offspring as to what (wrong) he has done to these orphans."

They said to him (the boy): "Go back to him." They persisted until he returned to Imam (as) and asked again. The Imam (as) said: "Did I not already tell you, O son of my brother, that it is drinking alcohol? Indeed, drinking alcohol leads its drinker to adultery, theft, the killing of a soul which Allah (swt) has forbidden, and associating partners with Allah (swt). The consequences of alcohol surpass every sin, just as its tree rises above all other trees."

Hadith.4958 - Hisham ibn al-Hakam and Abu Basir narrated from Abu Abdillah (as) who said: "There was a man in earlier times who sought worldly gains through lawful means but could not attain them. Then he sought them through unlawful means, yet still could not attain them. So, Satan came to him and said: 'O man, you have sought the world through lawful means and could not obtain it, and you sought it through unlawful means and still could not obtain it. Shall I guide you to something that will increase your worldly gains and followers?' The man replied: 'Yes.' Satan said: 'Invent a new religion and call people to it.' So, the man did so, and the people responded to him and obeyed him, and he gained from the world. Then he reflected and said: 'What have I done? I invented a religion and called people to it. I see no repentance for me except that I go to those I invited and turn them away from it.' So, he began approaching his followers, saying: 'What I invited you to was false, and I only invented it.' But they responded, 'You are lying! It is the truth, but you have doubted your religion and abandoned it.' When he saw this, he took a chain, fixed it to a peg, placed it around his neck, and said: 'I will not release it until Allah (swt) accepts my repentance.' Then Allah (swt), the Mighty and Majestic, revealed to a prophet from among the prophets: 'Say to so-and-so: By My (swt) Might and My (swt) Majesty, even if you call upon Me (swt) until your limbs fall apart, I (swt) will not respond to you until you return those who died upon what you called them to and turn them away from it.'"
