So avoid the uncleanliness of idols and avoid false statement,
فَاجْتَنِبُوا الرِّجْسَ مِنَ الأَوْثَانِ وَاجْتَنِبُوا قَوْلَ الزُّورِShall I inform you of the greatest of the major sins? — three times — Associating partners with Allah, and undutifulness to parents. The narrator said: He was reclining, so he sat up and said: And saying what is false, and giving false testimony. He kept repeating it until we said, if only he would have been silent.
ألا أنبئكم بأكبر الكبائر؟ - ثلاثًا - الإشراك بالله، وعقوق الوالدين، قال الراوي: وكان متكئًا فجلس فقال: ألا وقول الزور، ألا وشهادة الزور، فما زال يكررها حتى قلنا ليته سكت
