Abu Sufyan (may Allah have mercy on him) relates: I asked Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) at the time when he was residing in Makkah and staying among the tribe of Banu Fihr. Meanwhile a man asked him: "Did you (people) call anyone of the people of the qiblah (the Muslims) a polytheist?" He replied (expressing extreme displeasure): 'Ma'adh Allah' (Allah forbid!), and he became very alarmed at the gravity of this question. Then I asked: "Did you call any of them a disbeliever?" He said: "No."
This report is sahih (authentic) and mawquf (a Companion's statement).
