The Twenty-Eighth Greater Sin: Becoming A’ArÄb after Hijrat
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The twenty-eighth sin, which is labelled as a Greater Sin, is to become A’arÄb (Bedouin, gypsy etc) after Hijrat (migration).
It is recorded in UsÅ«l al-KÄfi under the chapter of Greater Sins that according to the Sahih of Ibn MahbÅ«b when he wrote a letter to Imam Musa Ibn Ja’far (a.s.) he (a.s.) replied and this sin was included among the Greater Sins. Moreover, Muhammad bin Muslim has quoted Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) and stated that he (a.s.) has included this sin among the greater ones. The book of ‘Ali (a.s.) also includes this sin in the list of Greater Sins.
Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (a.s.) says:
“Becoming A’arÄb after Hijrat and polytheism is one and the same (sin).”
(UsÅ«l al-KÄfi chapter of Greater sins)
