It is narrated on the authority of 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) (may peace and blessings be upon him) observed: Abusing a Muslim is an outrage and fighting against him is unbelief. Zubaid said: I asked Abu Wa'il: Did you hear it from 'Abdullah narrating if from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) (may peace and blessings be upon him)? He replied: Yes. But there is mention of the talk between Zubaid and Abu Wa'il in the hadith narrated by Shu'bah.
