Hadith 6641

عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَدِمَ عَلَى أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ بِالْيَمَنِ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ عِنْدَهُ قَالَ مَا هَذَا قَالُوا رَجُلٌ كَانَ يَهُودِيًّا فَأَسْلَمَ ثُمَّ تَهَوَّدَ وَنَحْنُ نُرِيدُ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ مُنْذُ قَالَ أَحْسَبُهُ شَهْرَيْنِ فَقَالَ وَاللَّهِ لَا أَقْعُدُ حَتَّى تَضْرِبُوا عُنُقَهُ فَضُرِبَتْ عُنُقُهُ فَقَالَ قَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّ مَنْ رَجَعَ عَنْ دِينِهِ فَاقْتُلُوهُ أَوْ قَالَ مَنْ بَدَّلَ دِينَهُ فَاقْتُلُوهُ
Sayyiduna Abu Burdah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash’ari (may Allah be pleased with him) was in Yemen and Sayyiduna Mu’adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) came to him. There was a man with him. Sayyiduna Mu’adh (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: Who is this? The people said: This man was a Jew, then he became a Muslim, and now he has become a Jew again. It has been two months that we have been demanding from him to adhere to Islam. Sayyiduna Mu’adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By Allah! I will not sit until you strike his neck. So he was killed. Then he said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had given this ruling: Whoever leaves his religion or changes his religion, kill him.
