أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا يَزِيدُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَنْبَأَنَا شُعْبَةُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَيُّ الذَّنْبِ أَعْظَمُ ؟ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ الشِّرْكُ:‏‏‏‏ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ لِلَّهِ نِدًّا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَنْ تُزَانِيَ بِحَلِيلَةِ جَارِكَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَأَنْ تَقْتُلَ وَلَدَكَ مَخَافَةَ الْفَقْرِ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ مَعَكَ . ثُمَّ قَرَأَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ:‏‏‏‏ وَالَّذِينَ لا يَدْعُونَ مَعَ اللَّهِ إِلَهًا آخَرَ [سورة الفرقان آية 68]. قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ:‏‏‏‏ هَذَا خَطَأٌ،‏‏‏‏ وَالصَّوَابُ الَّذِي قَبْلَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَحَدِيثُ يَزِيدَ هَذَا خَطَأٌ،‏‏‏‏ إِنَّمَا هُوَ وَاصِلٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَاللَّهُ تَعَالَى أَعْلَمُ.

I asked the Messenger of Allah [ﷺ], which sin is most grievous? He said: Shirk, setting up a rival to Allah, committing adultery with your neighbor's wife, and killing your child for fear of poverty, and that he may eat with you. Then 'Abdullah recited the Verse: And those who invoke not any other Ilah (god) along with Allah. Abu 'Abdur-Rahman (An-Nasa'i) said: This is a mistake, and what is correct is the one before it. This narration of Yazid is a mistake, it should be Wasil.
