٢ـ عَنْهُ عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ قَالَ كَتَبَ مَعِي بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِنَا إِلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ (عَلَيهِ السَّلام) يَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الْكَبَائِرِ كَمْ هِيَ وَمَا هِيَ فَكَتَبَ الْكَبَائِرُ مَنِ اجْتَنَبَ مَا وَعَدَ الله عَلَيْهِ النَّارَ كَفَّرَ عَنْهُ سَيِّئَاتِهِ إِذَا كَانَ مُؤْمِناً وَالسَّبْعُ الْمُوجِبَاتُ قَتْلُ النَّفْسِ الْحَرَامِ وَعُقُوقُ الْوَالِدَيْنِ وَأَكْلُ الرِّبَا وَالتَّعَرُّبُ بَعْدَ الْهِجْرَةِ وَقَذْفُ الْمُحْصَنَاتِ وَأَكْلُ مَالِ الْيَتِيمِ وَالْفِرَارُ مِنَ الزَّحْفِ.
2. It is narrated from him (narrator of the Hadith above) from ibn Mahbub who has said the following: “Once certain individuals of our people and I wrote to abu al- Hassan  asking what and how many were the major sins. He wrote back to us about major sins, ‘Whoever avoids the act for which Allah has decided to send one in the fire, his evil deeds are expiated, if he is of the believers. The seven acts that subject one to punishment are to commit murder, a disregard of kindness to parents, collecting unlawful interest in trade, alienating oneself from religion after accepting it, accusing married women of committing indecent acts, consuming the properties of orphans and running away from the enemy during an offensive in battle.’”
