English translation

3927. Salmān narrated: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said to me: 'O Salmān! Do not detest me and thereby leave your religion.' I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh! How could I detest you while Allāh guided us by you.' He said: 'You will detest the 'Arabs and thereby detest me.'" (Da'if) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Hasan Gharīb, we do not know of it except as a narration of Abū Badr Shujā' bin Al-Walīd. [And I heard Muḥammad bin Ismā'īl say: "Abū Zabyān did not meet Salmān, Salmān died before 'Alī" ].

Arabic text

٣٩٢٧ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى الْأَزْدِيُّ ‌وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ مَنِيعٍ ‌وَغَيْرُ وَاحِدٍ قَالُوا: حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو بَدْرٍ شُجَاعُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ ، عَنْ ‌قَابُوسَ بْنِ أَبِي ظِبْيَانَ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ ‌سَلْمَانَ قَالَ: «قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: يَا سَلْمَانُ،» لَا تَبْغَضْنِي فَتُفَارِقَ دِينَكَ. قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، كَيْفَ أَبْغَضُكَ وَبِكَ هَدَانَا اللهُ؟ قَالَ: تَبْغَضُ الْعَرَبَ فَتَبْغَضُنِي. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ، لَا نَعْرِفُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ حَدِيثِ أَبِي بَدْرٍ شُجَاعِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ. وَسَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِسْمَاعِيلَ يَقُولُ: أَبُو ظِبْيَانَ لَمْ يُدْرِكْ سَلْمَانَ، مَاتَ سَلْمَانُ قَبْلَ عَلِيٍّ.

Commentary

The Prophet ﷺ is basically an Arab and detesting the Arabs is like detesting every individual of the Arab nation. The Prophet ﷺ is also an individual of the Arab nation, so having a grudge against the Arab nation is having a grudge against the Prophet ﷺ and this is a sure cause of expulsion from Islam.
