Hadith 34939
٣٤٩٣٩ - حدثنا البكراوي عن (عبيد اللَّه) (١) بن عمر قال: كتب عمر بن عبد العزيز في قوم نصارى ارتدوا فكتب أن استتيبوهم، فإن تابوا وإلا فاقتلوهم.
Hazrat Ubaidullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Hazrat Umar bin Abdul Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him) wrote a letter regarding those people who were Christians and then became apostates. So he (may Allah have mercy on him) wrote: Ask them to repent. If they repent, then fine; otherwise, kill them.
