قَالَ الْحَارِثُ: حَدَّثَنَا الْخَلِيلُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا، حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ عَاصِمٍ، عَنْ زِرِّ بْنِ حُبَيْشٍ، عَنْ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ عَسَّالٍ ؓ قَالَ:
كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ، فَأَقْبَلَ رَجُلٌ، فَلَمَّا نَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: بِئْسَ أَخُو الْعَشِيرَةِ، أَوْ بِئْسَ الرَّجُلُ، فَلَمَّا دَنَا مِنْهُ أَدْنَى مَجْلِسَهُ، فَلَمَّا قَامَ وَذَهَبَ، قَالُوا: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ حِينَ أَبْصَرْتَهُ قُلْتَ: بِئْسَ أَخُو الْعَشِيرَةِ أَوْ بِئْسَ الرَّجُلُ ثُمَّ أَدْنَيْتَ مَجْلِسَهُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: إِنَّهُ مُنَافِقٌ أُدَارِيهِ عَنْ نِفَاقِهِ، وَأَخْشَى أَنْ يُفْسِدَ عَلَيَّ غَيْرَهُ

✧ We were with the Prophet ﷺ on a journey. A man approached. When the Messenger of God ﷺ saw him, he said: 'What a bad brother of the clan' or 'what a bad man.' When he came close, he made room for him in his sitting place. When he got up and left, they said: 'O Messenger of God, when you saw him you said: "What a bad brother of the clan" or "what a bad man," then you made room for him in your sitting place.' The Messenger of God ﷺ said: 'He is a hypocrite; I treat him gently to fend off his hypocrisy, and I fear he may corrupt someone else against me.'
