وَلَا تَقْرَبُوا الزِّنَا ۖ إِنَّهُ كَانَ فَاحِشَةً وَسَاءَ سَبِيلًا {32}

And do not go near the adultery; it was always an immorality and an evil way [17:32]

ثم قال: و في رواية أبي الجارود، عن أبي جعفر (عليه السلام) في قوله: وَ لا تَقْرَبُوا الزِّنى إِنَّهُ كانَ فاحِشَةً. يقول: «معصية و مقتا، فإن الله يمقته و يبغضه، و قوله: وَ ساءَ سَبِيلًا و هو أشد الناس عذابا، و الزنا من أكبر الكبائر

Then he (Ali Bin Ibrahim) said, ‘And in a report of Abu Al Jaroud,

(It has been narrated) from Abu Ja’far^-asws regarding His^-azwj Words: And do not go near the adultery; it was always an immorality. He^-asws said: ‘A disobedience and an abomination, for Allah^-azwj Abhors it and Hates it. And His^-azwj Words: and an evil way – and it (deserves) the harshest of the Punishment for the people. And the adultery is the biggest of the major sins’.^[1]
