Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates from Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Permit me to strike off the neck of Sayyiduna Hatib bin Abi Balta'ah (may Allah be pleased with him), for he has committed disbelief." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Ibn al-Khattab! What do you know? Perhaps Allah Almighty looked upon the people of Badr and said: 'Do whatever you wish, for I have certainly forgiven you.'"
This hadith is not narrated from Abu Zumayl (may Allah have mercy on him), from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), from Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), except with this chain; Ikrimah (may Allah have mercy on him) is alone in narrating it.
