222 — Yūsuf ibn Mūsā narrated to us: Abd al-Rahmān ibn Maghrā narrated to us: al-A‘mash narrated to us, from Ibrāhīm, who said, “There were three people whom they did not consider it backbiting to mention: an unjust ruler, a religious innovator, and a flagrant sinner who openly commits his sins.”
٢٢٢ - حَدَّثَنَا يُوسُفُ بْنُ مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ مَغْرَاءَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ: " ثَلَاثٌ كَانُوا لَا يُعِدُّونَهُنَّ مِنَ الْغِيبَةِ: الْإِمَامُ الْجَائِرُ، وَالْمُبْتَدِعُ، وَالْفَاسِقُ الْمُجَاهِرُ بِفِسْقِهِ "
