The Ruling on the Hadith: Nothing Is Greater After Associating Partners with Allah Except

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the authenticity of the hadith:
Nothing is greater after associating partners with Allah except that a man places his semen in a forbidden private partما بعد الشرك بالله إلا أن يضع الرجل نطفته في فرج حرام
?

Answer:
There is a hadith regarding this, but it is weak. However, as you have heard, zina (unlawful sexual intercourse) is among the greatest of major sins. Allah placed it after killing and after shirk (associating partners with Allah). The greatest of major sins is shirk (associating partners with Allah) (Exalted and Majestic is He), then killing, then zina (unlawful sexual intercourse), which is in the third rank. We seek refuge in Allah. The greatest thing is shirk (associating partners with Allah) (Exalted and Majestic is He), which is kufr (disbelief), then next is killing, and then next is zina (unlawful sexual intercourse). We ask Allah for well-being.
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:
And those who do not invoke with Allah another deity or kill the soul which Allah has forbidden [to be killed], except by right, and do not commit unlawful sexual intercourseوَالَّذِينَ لَا يَدْعُونَ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ وَلَا يَقْتُلُونَ النَّفْسَ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ وَلَا يَزْنُونَ
[Surat al-Furqan: 68]. He placed it in the third rank. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked, and Ibn Mas'ud said to him: "O Messenger of Allah, which sin is the greatest?" He said:
That you should treat anything as equal to God when He has created you." “What next?’’ he asked, to which he replied, “That you should kill your child for fear that he may eat along with you.”. ‘‘What next?" he asked, to which he replied, “That you should commit adultery with your neighbour’s wife.أن تجعل لله ندًا وهو خلقك -يعني الشرك- قال ثم أي؟ قال: أن تقتل ولدك خشية أن يطعم معك، قال: ثم أي؟ قال: أن تزاني بحليلة جارك
Mishkat al-Masabih 49Muttafaqun 'alayh (Zubair `Aliza'i)
Thus, he placed zina (unlawful sexual intercourse) in the third rank, and he made it with the neighbor's wife more heinous (we ask Allah for well-being) with the neighbor's wife, and with relatives it is more heinous and more heinous (we ask Allah for well-being), and with a woman who has a husband, all of this is more heinous regarding zina (unlawful sexual intercourse). We ask Allah for well-being.
