1104 - Harb ibn Ismail al-Kirmani informed me, saying: Ishaq, meaning Ibn Rahawayh, narrated to us, saying: Mu'ammal ibn Ismail narrated to us, saying: Sufyan al-Thawri narrated to us, saying: 'Abbad narrated to us, saying: I said to Abu Hanifah: "O Abu Hanifah, [consider] a man who says: 'I know that the Kaaba is a truth, but I do not know if it is the one in Mecca or the one in Khurasan.' Is he a believer?" He replied: "Yes." Mu'ammal said: Al-Thawri said: "I bear witness that, in the sight of Allah, he is of the disbelievers until it becomes clear to him that it is the Kaaba established in the Sacred Precinct (Haram)." He continued: And I said: "[What about] a man who says: 'I know that Muhammad is a prophet and he is a messenger, but I do not know if he is the Muhammad who was in Medina from Quraysh or another Muhammad?' Is he a believer?" He replied: "Yes, he is a believer." Mu'ammal said: Sufyan said: "In the sight of Allah, he is of the disbelievers."
