ما قالوا: في الرجل يسلم ثم يرتد ما يصنع به؟Regarding the One Who Accepts Islam Then Apostatizes—How He Is to Be Dealt With
Hadith 34924
٣٤٩٢٤ - حدثنا عبد اللَّه بن إدريس عن أشعث عن ابن سيرين قال: ارتد علقمة ابن علاثة فبعث أبو بكر إلى امرأته وولده فقالت: إن كان علقمة كفر، فإني لم أكفر أنا ولا ولدي (١).
Hazrat Ibn Sirin (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Alqamah bin Alathah became an apostate. So Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) sent a messenger to his wife and son. His wife said: Although Alqamah has disbelieved, I have not disbelieved, nor has my son. He (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned this matter before Imam Shabi (may Allah have mercy on him). So he (may Allah be pleased with him) said: This is how the matter will be dealt with regarding apostates.
