43. 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 ibn Hasan al-Saffar, from Ahmad bin Muhammed bin Isa, from Hussain bin Sa’eed, from Ibn Abi ‘Umayr, from Hammad, from al-Halabi, that he said: I said to Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him: What is the least by which a servant is a disbeliever? He said: That he innovates a thing, and then befriends on the basis of it and dissociates from those who oppose it.
