Jabir on Takfir: I seek refuge from excommunicating a Muslim

Abu Sufyan reported: I said to Jabir ibn Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with him, “Have you said anyone who prays towards Mecca is an unbeliever?” Jabir said no. I said, “Have you said they are idolaters?” Jabir said, “I seek refuge in Allah.”

عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِجَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ رضي الله عنه هَلْ كُنْتُمْ تَقُولُونَ لأَحَدٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْقِبْلَةِ كَافِرٌ قَالَ لا قُلْتُ وَكُنْتُمْ تَقُولُونَ مُشْرِكٌ قَالَ مُعَاذَ اللَّهِ
