2058 — Abū ‘Ubayd ‘Alī ibn al-Husayn ibn Harb, the judge, informed us, saying: Abū al-Sikkīn Zakariyyā ibn Yahyā narrated to us, saying: I heard Abū Bakr ibn ‘Ayyāsh when a man asked him, “O Abū Bakr, who is a Sunni?” He replied, “A Sunni is one who, when sectarian doctrines are mentioned, does not become angry in defense of any of them.”
