حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ الضَّبِّيُّ الْبَصْرِيُّ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ الثَّقَفِيُّ،‏‏‏‏ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ،‏‏‏‏ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ،‏‏‏‏ أَنَّ عَلِيًّا حَرَّقَ قَوْمًا ارْتَدُّوا عَنِ الْإِسْلَامِ،‏‏‏‏ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَوْ كُنْتُ أَنَا لَقَتَلْتُهُمْ،‏‏‏‏ لِقَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ بَدَّلَ دِينَهُ فَاقْتُلُوهُ ،‏‏‏‏ وَلَمْ أَكُنْ لِأُحَرِّقَهُمْ،‏‏‏‏ لِقَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا تُعَذِّبُوا بِعَذَابِ اللَّهِ ،‏‏‏‏ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ عَلِيًّا،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ صَدَقَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ،‏‏‏‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى:‏‏‏‏ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ حَسَنٌ،‏‏‏‏ وَالْعَمَلُ عَلَى هَذَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ فِي الْمُرْتَدِّ،‏‏‏‏ وَاخْتَلَفُوا فِي الْمَرْأَةِ إِذَا ارْتَدَّتْ عَنِ الْإِسْلَامِ،‏‏‏‏ فَقَالَتْ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ:‏‏‏‏ تُقْتَلُ،‏‏‏‏ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ الْأَوْزَاعِيِّ،‏‏‏‏ وَأَحْمَدَ،‏‏‏‏ وَإِسْحَاق،‏‏‏‏ وَقَالَتْ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْهُمْ:‏‏‏‏ تُحْبَسُ،‏‏‏‏ وَلَا تُقْتَلُ،‏‏‏‏ وَهُوَ قَوْلُ سُفْيَانَ الثَّوْرِيِّ،‏‏‏‏ وَغَيْرِهِ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ.

Narrated 'Ikrimah: That 'Ali burnt some people who apostasized from Islam. This news reached Ibn 'Abbas, so he said: If it were me I would have killed them according to the statement of Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Whoever changes his religion then kill him.' And I would not have burned them because the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Do not punish with the punishment of Allah.' So this reached 'Ali, and he said: Ibn 'Abbas has told the truth.
