"مَنْ فَارَقَ جَمَاعَةَ المُسْلِمِينَ شِبْرًا أَخْرجَ مِنْ عُنُقِهِ رِبْقَةَ الإِسْلامِ وَالمُخَالفِينَ بِأَلويَتِهم، يَتَنَاوَلُونَهَا يَوْمَ القِيَامَةِ مِنْ وَرَاءِ ظُهُورِهِم، وَمَنْ مَاتَ مِنْ غَير إِمَامِ جَمَاعَة، مَاتَ مِيتَةً جَاهِلِيَّةً".
[Machine] I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ holding his palm down, as if he was indicating something. He said, "Whoever separates himself from the Muslim community by a span, he has removed the noose of Islam from his neck, and those who oppose his leadership will seize it from behind their backs on the Day of Resurrection. And whoever dies without an imam of the community, he dies the death of ignorance."
رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ قَائِلٌ بِكَفِّهِ هَكَذَا كَأَنَّهُ يُشَبِّرُ شَيْئًا «مَنْ فَارَقَ جَمَاعَةَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ شِبْرًا أَخْرَجَ مِنْ عُنُقِهِ رِبْقَةَ الْإِسْلَامِ وَالْمُخَالِفِينَ بَأَلْوِيَتِهِمْ يَتَنَاوَلُونَهَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ وَرَاءِ ظُهُورِهِمْ وَمَنْ مَاتَ مِنْ غَيْرِ إِمَامِ جَمَاعَةٍ مَاتَ مِيتَةً جَاهِلِيَّةً»
