٢٦٣٧ - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «أَيُّمَا رَجُلٍ قَالَ لِأَخِيهِ: كَافِرٌ»، فَقَدْ بَاءَ بِهَا أَحَدُهُمَا. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَمَعْنَى قَوْلِهِ: بَاءَ، يَعْنِي أَقَرَّ.

Commentary
