the same scale as that. 3. Where is the evidence in the hadeeth to say that Hatim's action was kufr? Bearing in mind we can't use Umar's statement, because the prophet did not condone Umar rather he prevented him from killing him. Also umar said let me kill this munafiq, now we know that one can get killed in the sharia due to many different reasons not just major kufr, such as killing another person. We also know that Nifaq and kufr both have levels i.e. major and minor. If the hatib action was major kufr then why did the prophet accept his excuse, at the very least the prophet would have clarified it i.e. "O Hatib I know you're truthful however, what you did was kufr etc" If you're still using the statement of Umar as evidence & saying the prophet condoned it. Then it means he would either be killed due to apostasy or as capital punishment! *If we say due to apostasy then the prophet mentioning the fact that hatib witnessed badr has no benefit whatsoever cause a major hasana never wipes away major kufr. *However, knowing that the prophet mentioned badr then it clarifies that hatibs action was a major sin therefore the prophet mentioned a major hasana for him. Major Sin (informing Quraish) wiped away by witnessing badr. The wiping away of sins according to the level of the action is something well known in the sharia. So in any case there is no evidence
