The worst of sin with Allah (Glorified and Exalted)

إنَّ أَعظمَ الذُّنوبِ عندَ اللهِ رَجلٌ تَزوَّجَ امرأةً، فلمَّا قَضى حاجَتَه منها طَلَّقَها، وذَهَبَ بمَهْرِها، ورَجلٌ استَعْمَلَ رَجلًا، فذَهَبَ بأُجرَتِه، وآخرُ يَقتُلُ دابَّتَه عَبثًا.

On the authority of Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah said:

The worst sin with Allah (the Glorified and Exalted) – a man who marries a woman and when he fulfils his desires with her, he divorces her and leaves with her dower (he doesn’t pay her the Mahr). And a man who uses another man for his services but leaves with his wage (doesn’t pay him). And a person who kills an animal for no reason.

Reported by al-Hakim, 14781 and al-Bayhaqi, 2743 and classed as Hasan by al-Albani
