(وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ ثَانٍ) أَنَّ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ حَرَّقَ نَاسًا ارْتَدُّوا عَنِ الْإِسْلَامِ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ لَمْ أَكُنْ لِأُحَرِّقَهُمْ بِالنَّارِ وَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَا تُعَذِّبُوا بِعَذَابِ اللَّهِ وَكُنْتُ قَاتِلَهُمْ لِقَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ بَدَّلَ دِينَهُ فَاقْتُلُوهُ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ عَلِيًّا كَرَّمَ اللَّهُ وَجْهَهُ فَقَالَ وَيْحَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ
. (Second chain) Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) burned some people who had apostatized from Islam with fire. When Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) learned of this incident, he said: If I had been there, I would not have burned them with fire, because the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Do not punish people with Allah’s punishment. I would have killed them, because the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Whoever changes his religion, kill him. When Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) learned of this, he said: Woe to Ibn Abbas.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The punishment for one who apostatizes after accepting Islam is death.
The word "wayh" is used to express regret over someone, and sometimes it is also used for praise and amazement. If the first meaning is intended, then the implication is: regret, why did he not inform earlier so that the hadith would not have been contradicted. If the second meaning is intended, then the meaning is that they liked the statement of Ibn Abbas and expressed amazement. (Buloogh al-Amani) (Abdullah Rafiq)
