The ruling on one who says to his brother, "O disbeliever," in anger for the sake of Allah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
'Umar's statement to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) when he said to Hatib, "Let me strike the neck of this hypocrite," is a statement by Ibn al-Qayyim. He says that if a person says to his brother, "O disbeliever," in anger for the sake of Allah and out of zeal for the religion, he is not held accountable for this statement?

Answer:
It is possible, but it is obligatory to avoid it; because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
Whoever says to his brother, "O disbeliever" or "O enemy of Allah," and he is not such, except that it returns upon himمن قال لأخيه يا كافر أو يا عدو الله وليس كذلك إلا حَارَ عليه
.
It is dangerous; so a person should avoid it and not be hasty in matters.
And whoever displays hypocrisy and displays disbelief; he is described by that.
