مَوَانِعُ تَكْفِيرِ الْمُعَيَّنِ: الرَّابِعُ: رَوَاهُ الْحَاكِمُ (١٧٢/٤) مِنْ طَرِيقِ مُعَاذِ بْنِ هِشَامٍ الدَّسْتُوَائِيِّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي: حَدَّثَنِي الْقَاسِمُ بْنُ عَوْفٍ الشَّيْبَانِيُّ: حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ أَنَّهُ أَتَى الشَّامَ فَرَأَى النَّصَارَى يَسْجُدُونَ لِأَسَاقِفَتِهِمْ وَقِسِّيسِيهِمْ وَرَأَى الْيَهُودَ يَسْجُدُونَ لِأَحْبَارِهِمْ وَرُهْبَانِهِمْ وَرَبَّانِيِّهِمْ وَعُلَمَائِهِمْ فَقُهَائِهِمْ فَقَالَ: لِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ تَفْعَلُونَ هَذَا، قَالُوا هَذِهِ تَحِيَّةُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ - عَلَيْهِمُ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ.

Impediments to declaring a specific individual an unbeliever: The fourth: Al-Hakim (4/172) narrated it via the path of Mu'adh ibn Hisham al-Dastawa'i, who said: My father narrated to me: Al-Qasim ibn 'Awf al-Shaybani narrated to me: Mu'adh ibn Jabal narrated to us that he came to the Levant and saw the Christians prostrating to their bishops and priests, and he saw the Jews prostrating to their rabbis, monks, masters, and scholars, so he said: 'Why do you do this?' They replied: 'This is the greeting of the prophets - peace and blessings be upon them.'

قُلْتُ: فَنَحْنُ أَحَقُّ أَنْ نَصْنَعَ بِنَبِيِّنَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ: إِنَّهُمْ كَذَبُوا عَلَى أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ، كَمَا حَرَّفُوا كِتَابَهُمْ لَوْ أَمَرْتُ أَحَدًا أَنْ يَسْجُدَ لِأَحَدٍ...) الْحَدِيثُ، وَصَحَّحَهُ الْحَاكِمُ عَلَى شَرْطِهِمَا، وَوَافَقَهُ الذَّهَبِيُّ وَالْقَاسِمُ لَمْ يَرْوِ لَهُ الْبُخَارِيُّ فِي صَحِيحِهِ، وَقَدْ جَعَلَهُ الْقَاسِمُ هُنَا مِنْ مُسْنَدِ مُعَاذٍ وَلَيْسَ فِيهِ ذِكْرٌ لِسُجُودِهِ وَإِنَّمَا فِيهِ السُّؤَالُ عَنْ سُجُودِ التَّحِيَّةِ.

I said: 'Then we are more entitled to do so for our Prophet.' The Prophet said: 'They lied about their prophets, just as they distorted their scripture; if I were to command anyone to prostrate to anyone...' [the rest of] the hadith. Al-Hakim authenticated it according to their [Bukhari and Muslim's] criteria, and Al-Dhahabi agreed with him. Al-Bukhari did not narrate anything for Al-Qasim in his Sahih, and Al-Qasim has placed it here as part of the Musnad of Mu'adh, and it contains no mention of his [Mu'adh's] prostration, but only the question regarding the prostration of greeting.

الْخَامِسُ: رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْكَبِيرِ (٩٠/٢٠): حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ صَالِحِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ النَّرْسِيُّ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى أَبُو مُوسَى: حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ عَوْفٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ مِنْ بَنِي مُرَّةَ بْنِ هَمَّامٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ أَبِي لَيْلَى عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ: (لَوْ كُنْتُ آمِرًا أَحَدًا أَنْ يَسْجُدَ...) وَرَوَاهُ الْبَزَّارُ (١٤٦١) أَيْضًا فَزَادَ السَّنَدُ رَاوِيَيْنِ، وَلَيْسَ فِيهِ السُّجُودُ وَلَا السُّؤَالُ عَنْهُ.

The fifth: Al-Tabarani narrated it in Al-Kabir (20/90): Muhammad ibn Salih ibn al-Walid al-Narsi narrated to us: Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna Abu Musa narrated to us: Mu'adh ibn Hisham narrated to us, my father narrated to me from Al-Qasim ibn 'Awf, from the people of Kufa, from the tribe of Murrah ibn Hammam, from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Layla, from his father, from Mu'adh ibn Jabal, who said: The Messenger of Allah said: 'If I were to command anyone to prostrate...' Al-Bazzar (1461) also narrated it, adding two narrators to the chain, and it contains neither the prostration nor the question about it.
