3453 - حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، عَنْ يَحْيَى، قَالَ: كَانَ سُفْيَانُ، يَكْرَهُ هَذَا التَّفْسِيرَ «لَيْسَ مِنَّا» لَيْسَ مِثْلَنَا

Commentary
"He is not one of us" and "He is not like us" indicates that he has done something unlawful, as Allāh mentioned in the story of Ibrāhīm, peace be upon him, that he said: But whoever follows me, then he is verily of me. And whoever disobeys me, still You are indeed Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful. (Ibrāhīm 14:36) Sufyān bin 'Uyainah disliked that it be explained in a way that minimized its gravity.
