What is the hadith that Al-Bukhari reported concerning grave sins?
Al-Bukhari narrated in his Sahih, on the authority of Anas, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, was asked about major sins, and he said: "Associating partners with Allah, disobedience to parents, killing a soul, and false witness." And among them: "Indeed, one of the major sins is for a man to curse his parents." And his saying, peace and blessings be upon him: "Shall I not inform you of the greatest major sins: associating partners with Allah, disobedience to parents, false speech, and false witness." And in the hadith of Ibn 'Umar, raised [to the Prophet]: "Major sins are: associating partners with Allah... and the false oath (al-yamin al-ghamûs)." And Muslim mentioned in the hadith of Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Avoid the seven destructive sins: associating partners with Allah, magic, killing a soul which Allah has forbidden except by right, consuming usury, consuming the property of an orphan, fleeing from the battlefield, and slandering chaste, unaware, believing women."
