Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The reciter: And Yahya ibn Yahya al-Tamimi, Yahya ibn Ayub, Qutaybah ibn Sa'id, and Ali ibn Hujayr all narrated to us from Isma'il ibn Ja'far. Yahya ibn Yahya said: Isma'il ibn Ja'far informed us from Abdullah ibn Dinar that he heard Ibn Umar say: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

Any person who called his brother: "O unbeliever" (has in fact done an act by which this unbelief) would return to one of them. If it were so, as he asserted (then the unbelief of man was confirmed but if it was not true), then it returned to him (to the man who labeled it on his brother Muslim).

أيّما امرئٍ قال لأخيه: يا كافر ، فقد باء بها أحدهما ، إن كان كما قال ، وإلّا رجعت عليه
