Sahih al-Bukhari 6607 (Book 87, Hadith 1)
up a rival unto Allah though He Alone created you . ” The man said, “What is next?” The Prophet (ﷺ)
said, “To kill your son lest he should share your food with you.” The man said, “What is next?” The
Prophet said, “To commit illegal sexual intercourse with the wife of your neighbor.” So Allah
revealed in confirmation of this narration:–
‘And those who invoke not with Allah, any other god. Nor kill, such life as Allah has forbidden except
for just cause nor commit illegal sexual intercourse. And whoever does this shall receive the
punishment.’ (25.68)
