عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنه، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، قَالَ: «اجْتَنِبُوا السَّبْعَ المُوبِقَاتِ» قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، وَمَا هُنَّ؟ قَالَ: وَالسِّحْرُ، وَقَتْلُ النَّفْسِ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلَّا بِالحَقِّ، وَأَكْلُ الرِّبَا، وَأَكْلُ مَالِ اليَتِيمِ، وَالتَّوَلِّي يَوْمَ الزَّحْفِ، وَقَذْفُ المُحْصَنَاتِ المُؤْمِنَاتِ الغَافِلاَتِ».
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said:
1.The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Avoid the seven destructive things." It was asked: (by those present): "What are they, O Messenger of Allah?" 2.He replied, "Associating anyone or anything with Allah in worship, 3. practicing sorcery, 4. killing of someone without a just cause whom Allah has forbidden, 5. eating of usury, 6. devouring the property of an orphan, 7. fleeing from the battlefield 8. and slandering chaste women who never even think of anything touching chastity and are good believers.".
