1ـ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ مُعَلَّى بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْعَبَّاسِ بْنِ الْعَلاءِ عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) قَالَ الذُّنُوبُ الَّتِي تُغَيِّرُ النِّعَمَ الْبَغْيُ وَالذُّنُوبُ الَّتِي تُورِثُ النَّدَمَ الْقَتْلُ وَالَّتِي تُنْزِلُ النِّقَمَ الظُّلْمُ وَالَّتِي تَهْتِكُ السِّتْرَ شُرْبُ الْخَمْرِ وَالَّتِي تَحْبِسُ الرِّزْقَ الزِّنَا وَالَّتِي تُعَجِّلُ الْفَنَاءَ قَطِيعَةُ الرَّحِمِ وَالَّتِي تَرُدُّ الدُّعَاءَ وَتُظْلِمُ الْهَوَاءَ عُقُوقُ الْوَالِدَيْنِ.

Published English translation

1. Al-Husayn ibn Muhammad has narrated from Mu’alla ibn Muhammad from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-‘Abbas ibn al-‘Ala’ from Mujahid from his father from Abu ‘Abdillah (a.s.) who has said the following: “The sins that change the bounties (of Allah) are transgressions, the sins that bring regret are murder, the one that brings hatred is injustice, that which brings disgrace is drinking wine, the sin which holds back the means of living is fornication, the one that hastens one’s perishing is failing to maintain good relations with relatives and the sins that cause the prayers to be rejected and brings darkness (in life) is failing to maintain good relations with parents.”
