Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 30951 — Heretics (zanadiqah): what
٣٠٩٥١ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا ابن عيينة عن أيوب عن عكرمة عن ابن عباس أنه بلغه أن عليًا أخذ زنادقة فأحرقهم، قال: فقال: أما أنا فلو كنت لم أعذبهم بعذاب اللَّه، ولو كنت أنا لقتلتهم، لقول النبي ﷺ: "من بدل دينه فاقتلوه" (١).
Ikrimah says that news reached Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) had seized some zindiqs and burned them. He said: "As for me, I would not punish them with the manner of Allah's punishment; had it been me, I would have killed them, because of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): 'Whoever changes his religion, kill him.'"
