Chapter: The major sins and the most serious of them

It is narrated on the authority of 'Abdur-Rahman b. Abu Bakra that his father said:
We were in the company of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) that he observed: Should I not inform you about the most grievous of the grave sins? (The Holy Prophet) repeated it three times, and then said: Associating anyone with Allah, disobedience to parents, false testimony or false utterance. The Prophet was reclining, then he sat up, and he repeated it so many times that we wished that he should become silent.

Explanation
-Imam Abdus-Salam says that major sins are different to minor sins as they come with a punishment, or warning, or a curse etc.

It can also be found if one understands the Maqsad of the Sharee'ah, even if no specific punishment is mentioned so cursing Allaah or defacing the Ka'bah or throwing the Mushaf in an impure place are all examples of this.

-Ibn Umar and Ibn Abbas both have narrated to say that being consistent and persistent on minor sins becomes a major sin. 

-Imam Abdus-Salam mentions again in al-Qawaa'id that being persistent changes it into a major sin as well as combining many minor sins. 

-Aq means to remove obedience, thus the command is to abstain from harming the parents in any way possible.

And Allaah Knows best
