حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُصَفَّى الْحِمْصِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، عَنِ الأَوْزَاعِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ " إِنَّ مَجُوسَ هَذِهِ الأُمَّةِ الْمُكَذِّبُونَ بِأَقْدَارِ اللَّهِ إِنْ مَرِضُوا فَلاَ تَعُودُوهُمْ وَإِنْ مَاتُوا فَلاَ تَشْهَدُوهُمْ وَإِنْ لَقِيتُمُوهُمْ فَلاَ تُسَلِّمُوا عَلَيْهِمْ " .

Muhammad ibn al-Musaffa al-Himsi narrated to us; Baqiyyah ibn al-Walid narrated to us, from al-Awza'i, from Ibn Jurayj, from Abu al-Zubayr, from Jabir ibn 'Abdullah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The Magians of this community are those who deny Allah's decrees. If they fall ill, do not visit them; if they die, do not attend their funerals; and if you meet them, do not greet them.
