Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) reports this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Whoever abandons his religion, that is, Islam, strike off his neck." And he also said: "Whoever bears witness that there is no god but Allah and that Sayyiduna Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, then nothing can be done against him, except that if he commits a crime, he will be given its punishment."
Al-Tabarani recorded it. Its chain contains al-Hakam bin Aban, who is da'if (weak).
