حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحِمَّانِيُّ يَعْنِى عَبْدَ الْحَمِيدِ ابْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ يَحْيَى ، وَبُرَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى ، قَالَ : " قَدِمَ عَلَيَّ مُعَاذٌ وَأَنَا بِالْيَمَنِ وَرَجُلٌ كَانَ يَهُودِيًّا ، فَأَسْلَمَ فَارْتَدَّ عَنِ الْإِسْلَامِ ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ مُعَاذٌ ، قَالَ : لَا أَنْزِلُ عَنْ دَابَّتِي حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ ، فَقُتِلَ قَالَ : أَحَدُهُمَا وَكَانَ قَدِ اسْتُتِيبَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ " .
Narrated Muadh ibn Jabal: Abu Musa said: Muadh came to me when I was in the Yemen. A man who was Jew embraced Islam and then retreated from Islam. When Muadh came, he said: I will not come down from my mount until he is killed. He was then killed. One of them said: He was asked to repent before that.
