5 – Ibrāhīm narrated to us; he said: Ibn al-Mubārak narrated to us; he said: al-Ḥajjāj narrated to us, from Makḥūl, from Kathīr ibn Murrah, who said: “Allah forgives every sin except that of a polytheist or a mushāḥin (one who harbors rancor).” ʿAbd Allāh said: I heard al-Awzāʿī explain the term mushāḥin, and he said: “It is anyone devoted to an innovation who has severed ties with his community on account of it.”
