Hadith 171
۞
171. It has been related that Zurarah said
I heard Abu 'Abd Allah (a.s) saying: The closest stage to infidelity that one attains is that a person takes one to be his brother-in-faith then the latter keeps track of his mistakes and slips that he may use them against him someday.
171 - وعن زرارة قال
سمعت أبا عبد الله عليه السلام يقول: أقرب ما يكون العبد إلى الكفر أن يكون الرجل مواخيا للرجل على الدين، ثم يحفظ زلاته و عثراته ليضعه يوما ما.
