حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا أَيُّوبُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ عَلِيًّا عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام أَحْرَقَ نَاسًا ارْتَدُّوا عَنِ الْإِسْلَامِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَمْ أَكُنْ لِأُحْرِقَهُمْ بِالنَّارِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا تُعَذِّبُوا بِعَذَابِ اللَّهِ وَكُنْتُ قَاتِلَهُمْ بِقَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ بَدَّلَ دِينَهُ فَاقْتُلُوهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ عَلِيًّا عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَيْحَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ .

Ali رضی اللہ عنہ burned some people who retreated from islam. When Ibn Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما was informed of it, he said: If it had been I, I would not have then burned, for the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: Do not inflict Allah’s punishment on anyone, but would have had killed them on account of the statement of the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. The Messenger said: Kill those who change their religion. When ‘Ali رضی اللہ عنہ was informed about it he said: How truly Ibn Abbas said!
