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."
