The Prophet (ﷺ) said, Avoid the seven great destructive sins. They (the people!) asked, O Allah's Apostle! What are they? He said, To join partners in worship with Allah; to practice sorcery; to kill the life which Allah has forbidden except for a just cause (according to Islamic law); to eat up usury (Riba), to eat up the property of an orphan; to give one's back to the enemy and fleeing from the battle-field at the time of fighting and to accuse chaste women who never even think of anything touching chastity and are good believers.

':'Telah menceritakan kepada kami 'Abdul 'Aziz bin Abdullah telah menceritakan kepada kami Sulaiman dari Tsaur bin Zaid dari Abul Ghaits dari Abu Hurairah dari Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda; 'Jauhilah tujuh dosa besar yang membinasakan.' Para sahabat bertanya; 'Ya Rasulullah apa saja tujuh dosa besar yang membinasakan itu? ' Nabi menjawab; 'menyekutukan Allah sihir membunuh jiwa yang Allah haramkan tanpa alasan yang benar makan riba makan harta anak yatim lari dari medan perang dan menuduh wanita mukmin baik-baik melakukan perzinahan.''
