الأدب المفرد:٤٣٢حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَعْمَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ عَنِ الْحُسَيْنِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَعْمَُرَ أَنَّ أَبَا الأَسْوَدِ الدِّيلِيَّ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا ذَرٍّ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ لاَ يَرْمِي رَجُلٌ رَجُلاً بِالْفُسُوقِ وَلاَ يَرْمِيهِ بِالْكُفْرِ إِلاَّ ارْتَدَّتْ عَلَيْهِ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ صَاحِبُهُ كَذَلِكَ
