Chapter 2 · The Book of Faithتَسْمِيَةِ الْعَبْدِ الآبِقِ كَافِرًا
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ السَّعْدِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عُلَيَّةَ، عَنْ مَنْصُورِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ جَرِيرٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ يَقُولُ: «أَيُّمَا عَبْدٍ أَبَقَ مِنْ مَوَالِيهِ فَقَدْ كَفَرَ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ إِلَيْهِمْ» قَالَ مَنْصُورٌ: «قَدْ وَاللهِ رُوِيَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَكِنِّي أَكْرَهُ أَنْ يُرْوَى عَنِّي هَاهُنَا بِالْبَصْرَةِ»

Calling a runaway slave a kafirg
The slave who fled from his master committed an act of infidelity as long as he would not return to him. Mansur observed: By God, this hadith was narrated from the Apostle (may peace and blessings be upon him), but I do not like that this should be narrated on my authority here in Basra.
