ACCUSING BELIEVERS OF UNBELIEF

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

Ibn Umar, RadhiAllahu Anhu, reported: The Messenger of Allah, SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam, said:

أَيُّمَا امْرِئٍ قَالَ لِأَخِيهِ يَا كَافِرُ فَقَدْ بَاءَ بِهَا أَحَدُهُمَا إِنْ كَانَ كَمَا قَالَ وَإِلَّا رَجَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ

When a man calls his brother an unbeliever, it turns against at least to one of them. Either the accused is as he claimed, or else the charge will turn against him.

Abu Dharr, RadhiAllahu Anhu, reported: The Prophet, SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam, said:

لَا يَرْمِي رَجُلٌ رَجُلًا بِالْفُسُوقِ وَلَا يَرْمِيهِ بِالْكُفْرِ إِلَّا ارْتَدَّتْ عَلَيْهِ إِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ صَاحِبُهُ كَذَلِكَ

A man does not accuse another man of wickedness or unbelief except that it will be turned against him, if his companion is innocent.

Thabit ibn al-Dahhak, RadhiAllahu Anhu, reported: The Prophet, SallAllahu Alayhi Wa Sallam, said:

 لَعْنُ الْمُؤْمِنِ كَقَتْلِهِ وَمَنْ رَمَى مُؤْمِنًا بِكُفْرٍ فَهُوَ كَقَتْلِهِ

Cursing a believer is like killing him, and accusing a believer of unbelief is like killing him.

إِذَا قَالَ الرَّجُلُ لِأَخِيهِ يَا كَافِرُ فَهُوَ كَقَتْلِهِ وَلَعْنُ الْمُؤْمِنِ كَقَتْلِهِ

If a man declares his brother to be an unbeliever, it is as if he has killed him. Cursing a believer is like killing him.
