Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 8
Taysala ibn Mayyas said, "I was with the Najadites [Kharijites] when I
committed wrong actions which I supposed were major wrong actions. I mentioned
that to Ibn 'Umar. He inquired, 'What are they?" I replied, 'Such-and-such.'
He stated, 'These are not major wrong actions. There are nine major wrong
actions. They are:
associating others with Allah, killing someone, desertion
from the army when it is advancing, slandering a chaste woman, usury, consuming
an orphan's property, heresy in the mosque, scoffing, and causing one's parents
to weep through disobedience.' Ibn 'Umar then said to me, 'Do you wish to
separate yourself from the Fire? Would you like to enter Paradise?' 'By Allah,
yes!' I replied. He asked, 'Are your parents still alive?' I replied, 'My
mother is.' He said, 'By Allah, if you speak gently to her and feed her,
then you will enter the Garden as long as you avoid the major wrong actions.'"
