قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: حَدَّثَنَا عُقْبَةُ بْنُ مُكْرَمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، عَنْ زِيَادِ بْنِ الْمُنْذِرِ، عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ؓ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ:
إِنَّ بَعْدِي أَئِمَّةً، إِنْ أَطَعْتُمُوهُمْ كَفَّرُوكُمْ، وَإِنْ عَصَيْتُمُوهُمْ قَتَلُوكُمْ، أَئِمَّةَ الْكُفْرِ وَرُؤُوسَ الضَّلَالَةِ
