Narrated Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that he said: "Avoid the seven destructive sins." The people asked, "O Messenger of Allah! What are they?" He (peace be upon him) said: "(1) Associating partners with Allah, (2) Practicing magic, (3) Killing a soul which Allah has forbidden except by right, (4) Consuming usury, (5) Consuming the property of an orphan, (6) Fleeing from the battlefield, (7) Accusing chaste, innocent, believing women of adultery."
