عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «اجْتَنِبُوا السَّبْعَ الْمُوبِقَاتِ»، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَمَا هُنَّ؟ قَالَ: «الشِّرْكُ بِاللهِ، وَالسِّحْرُ، وَقَتْلُ النَّفْسِ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللهُ إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ، وَأَكْلُ الرِّبَا، وَأَكْلُ مَالِ الْيَتِيمِ، وَالتَّوَلِّي يَوْمَ الزَّحْفِ، وَقَذْفُ الْمُحْصَنَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ الْغَافِلَاتِ».
Imepokelewa Kutoka kwa Abuu Huraira -Radhi za Allah ziwe juu yake- kutoka kwa Mtume -Rehema na amani ziwe juu yake- amesema: "Yaepukeni mambo saba yenye kuangamiza" Wakasema: Ewe Mjumbe wa Mwenyezi Mungu ni yapi hayo? Akasema: "Ni kumshirikisha Mwenyezi Mungu (na kitu kingine), na uchawi, na kuua nafsi aliyoiharamisha Mwenyezi Mungu isipokuwa kwa haki, na kula riba, na kula mali ya yatima, na kukimbia siku ya vita, na kuwatuhumu machafu waumini wa kike waliojihifadhi wasiojua lolote (kuhusu huo uchafu)"
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Avoid the seven destructive sins” They said: “O Messenger of Allah, what are they?” He said: “Associating partners with Allah; magic (sorcery); killing a person whose killing Allah has prohibited except by legal right; consuming usury; devouring the property of an orphan; fleeing from the battlefield; and slandering chaste, innocent, and believing women.”
Nikuwa madhambi makubwa idadi yake siyo saba pekee, na kutajwa kwake pekee kuwa ni saba ni kwa sababu ya ukubwa wake na hatari yake.
Ruhusa ya kuua nafsi ikiwa ni kwa haki kama kisasi na kuritadi na zinaa baada ya ndoa, na hii hutekelezwa na hakimu aliyewekwa kisheria.
