Hadith 34937
٣٤٩٣٧ - حدثنا عبد الرحيم بن سليمان عن حجاج عن عمرو بن شعيب عن أبيه عن جده قال: كتب عمرو بن العاص إلى عمر بن الخطاب أن رجلًا يبدل بالكفر بعد الإيمان، فكتب إليه عمر: استتبه، فإن تاب فاقبل منه، وإلا فاضرب عنقه (١).
Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Hazrat Amr bin Al-Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote a letter to Hazrat Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) stating that indeed a man, after accepting faith, has chosen disbelief. So Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) wrote back in reply: Ask him to repent; if he repents from it, then accept his repentance on his behalf, otherwise strike his neck.
