Sahih al-Bukhari 4555 (Book 65, Hadith 283)
you set up a rival (in worship) to Allah though He Alone created you.” I asked, “What is next?” He
said, “Then, that you kill your son, being afraid that he may share your meals with you.” I asked,
“What is next?” He said, “That you commit illegal sexual intercourse with the wife of your neighbor.”
Then the following Verse was revealed to confirm the statement of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ):
“Those who invoke not with Allah, any other god, nor kill life as Allah has forbidden except for just
cause, nor commit illegal sexual intercourse.” (25.68)
Sahih al-Bukhari 4555 (Book 65, Hadith 283)
The above hadith is from the Sahih al-Buhari collection of hadiths. Within the Islamic scholarly tradition, few works hold as much weight as Sahih al-Bukhari. This vast compilation, assembled by the Persian scholar al-Bukhārī circa 847, is a cornerstone of Sunni faith and practice. It is one of the six canonical hadith collections known collectively as the Kutub al-Sittah. Imam al-Bukhārī’s work is particularly celebrated for its author’s stringent criteria in verifying the chain of narration (isnad), resulting in a trusted body of over 7,500 hadiths organized into 97 distinct chapters that cover every aspect of life.
