Godiya ta tabbata ga Allah, Wanda ƙarfinsa ya rinjayi dukkan halittu, kuma Wanda dukkan zukata ke miƙa wuya gare shi da tsoro. Godiya kuma ta tabbata gare shi saboda ya suturta mini laifuffukana da zunubaina. Allah ya yi salati ga Manzo Muhammadﷺ, kuma ya ba shi aminci, wanda Allah ya saukar masa da surar Qaf.

Praise be to Allah under Whose Might all worlds are subdued and all hearts acknowledge and surrender to in fear. Thanks are due to Him for concealing my faults and sins. May Allah bless the Messenger, Muhammed and give him peace upon whom Allah revealed the surah of Qaf.

Da farko: ina gabatar da wannan littafi (Manyan Zunubai) wanda Imam Dhahabi ya rubuta a wata sigar daban. Na tabbatar da rubutun, na tabbatar da hadisai da maganganun magabata, kuma na yi bayani kan kalmomi masu wuya. Saboda haka, ya fi kyau a ci gaba da karanta wannan littafi dare da rana, shi kaɗai kuma da babbar murya. Ya kamata ka tuna cewa abin da kake gani a duniya ko dai mai kyau ne ko mara kyau, bayyananne ko mai rikitarwa, sha'awa da ke biye da baƙin ciki, ko zunubai da ke biye da damuwa.

To commence: I introduce this book (Major sins) written by Imam Dhahabi in another form. As I verified the text, documented1 the hadiths and maxims, and elaborated on the difficult words. Thus, it is better to keep on reading this book day and night alone and aloud. You have to bear in mind that what you view in this world is either good or bad, clear or vague, a lust followed by sorrow or sins followed by gloom. Therefore, you have to reject a perishable joy or lust, a binding condemnity, an inevitable sorrow, and a grievous affliction. Judge yourself before being judged by Allah the Lord of the universe. Remember that the one who will be prosperous, is the one who washes away the filth of his sins by repentance while repentance is available, awaked and gets out from the place of sins to the fort of guidance before repentance and apology are of no avail. May Allah safeguard us with His sleepless eyes and keep us away from faults and sins for He is the All-Hearing, the Nearest.
