حَدَّثَنَا
عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، حَدَّثَنَا
سُفْيَانُ ، عَنْ
أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ
عِكْرِمَةَ ، أَنَّ عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، حَرَّقَ قَوْمًا فَبَلَغَ
ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ، فَقَالَ : لَوْ كُنْتُ أَنَا لَمْ أُحَرِّقْهُمْ لِأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " لَا تُعَذِّبُوا بِعَذَابِ اللَّهِ ، وَلَقَتَلْتُهُمْ " ، كَمَا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ بَدَّلَ دِينَهُ فَاقْتُلُوهُ " .
Narrated `Ikrima: `Ali burnt some people and this news reached Ibn `Abbas, who said, "Had I been in his place I would not have burnt them, as the Prophet said, 'Don't punish (anybody) with Allah's Punishment.' No doubt, I would have killed them, for the Prophet said, 'If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him.' "
