Declaring a Muslim a disbeliever

Reference: Siyar A’laam an-Nubalaa v12 p391

Muhammad ibn Abi Haatim رحمه الله narrates:

A man came to Abu ‘Abdillaah al-Bukhaaree and said: ‘O Abaa ‘Abdillaah, such-and-such has said that you are a disbeliever!!’

He replied:

The Prophet ﷺ said:

«If a man says to his brother, ‘O disbeliever!’ Then surely one of them is such (i.e. a disbeliever)»
