أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَرْزُوقٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ عَنِ الصَّلْتِ بْنِ بَهْرَامَ حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ حَدَّثَنَا جُنْدُبٌ الْبَجَلِيُّ فِي هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ أَنَّ حُذَيْفَةَ حَدَّثَهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ
«إِنَّ مَا أَتَخَوَّفُ عَلَيْكُمْ رَجُلٌ قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ حَتَّى إِذَا رُئِيَتْ بَهْجَتُهُ عَلَيْهِ وَكَانَ رِدْئًا لِلْإِسْلَامِ غَيَّرَهُ إِلَى مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ فَانْسَلَخَ مِنْهُ وَنَبَذَهُ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ وَسَعَى عَلَى جَارِهِ بِالسَّيْفِ وَرَمَاهُ بِالشِّرْكِ» قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ أَيُّهُمَا أَوْلَى بِالشِّرْكِ الْمَرْمِيُّ أَمِ الرَّامِي؟ قَالَ «بَلِ الرَّامِي»

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "What I fear for you the most is a man who has memorized the Quran, until his delight is seen on him and it becomes apparent that he is a supporter of Islam. Then he changes it to whatever Allah wills. He sheds it from himself and throws it behind his back, and he fights against his neighbor with the sword and accuses him of polytheism." I said, "O Prophet of Allah, who is more deserving of being accused of polytheism, the thrower or the one thrown at?" He said, "Rather, it is the one who throws."
