‘Abdallah b. ‘Amr reported God’s messenger as saying, “The major sins are associating other objects of worship with God, disobedience to parents, murder, and deliberate perjury (<i>al-yamin al-ghamus</i>)." Bukhari transmitted it. Anas’s version has “false witness”* <i>(shahadat al-zur) </i>instead of ‘‘deliberate perjury." (Bukhari and Muslim.)

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «الْكَبَائِرُ الْإِشْرَاكُ بِاللَّهِ وَعُقُوقُ الْوَالِدَيْنِ وَقَتْلُ النَّفْسِ وَالْيَمِين الْغمُوس» . رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيّ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَنَسٍ: «وَشَهَادَةُ الزُّورِ» بَدَلُ: «الْيَمِينُ الْغمُوس»
