Abu Zayd Thabit ibn ad-Dahhak al-Ansari, one of the people of the Pledge of Ridwan, said that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Anyone who deliberately swears a false oath that he will adopt another religion than Islam [if he is not telling the truth], it will be as he said. Anyone who kills himself with something, will be punished with that thing on the Day of Rising. An oath which is a man is incapable of fulfilling is not binding on him. Cursing a believer is like killing him." [Agreed upon]
"Whenever someone calls his brother Muslim a kafir, one of them must be a kafir [either the one being accurately being called a kafir, or the one who falls into kufr, by inaccurately accusing his brother of being a kafir]."
-- Prophet Muhammad, God's peace and blessings be upon him
"Fitna is asleep; may God curse the one who awakens it."
-- Prophet Muhammad, God's peace and blessings be upon him
"Takfir should be reserved for one who clearly falls into apostasy, states it openly, chooses it as his din, rejects the testimony of faith, and leaves the religion of Islam altogether."
-- Taqi al-Din al-Subki
"To deem a thousand disbelievers Muslim is safer with God than to deem one Muslim a disbeliever."
-- Imam Abu Hanifah
