حدثنا محمد بن الحسن بن أحمد بن الوليد - رضي الله عنه - قال: حدثنا محمد بن الحسن الصفار، عن أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى، عن محمد بن أبي عمير، عن ابن أذينة، عن بريد العجلي، قال: قلت لأبي عبد الله عليه السلام: ما أدنى ما يصير به العبد كافرا؟ قال: فأخذ حصاة من الأرض فقال: أن يقول لهذه الحصاة إنها نواة ويبرء ممن خالفه على ذلك، ويدين الله بالبراءة ممن قال بغير قوله، فهذا ناصب قد أشرك بالله وكفر من حيث لا يعلم.
44.	We were told by Muhammed bin Hasan bin Ahmad bin Waleed, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Hasan al-Saffar, from Ahmad bin Muhammed bin Isa, from Muhammed bin Abi ‘Umayr, from Ibn Udhayna, from Buraid al-‘Ajali, that he said: I said to Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him: What is the least by which a servant becomes a disbeliever? He said: He then took (a bunch of) pebbles from the ground and said: That one says about these pebbles that they are kernels, and that he dissociates from those who oppose him on that, and that he takes dissociation from those who believe in other than his belief as a religious doctrine before Allah. Such an individual is a hostile who has associated partners with Allah and disbelieved from (the aspect of) that which he does not know.
