اُردوEn
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ , أَنَّ عَلِيًّا حَرَّقَ نَاسًا ارْتَدُّوا عَنِ الإِسْلَامِ ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ، فَقَالَ : لَمْ أَكُنْ لِأُحَرِّقَهُمْ بِالنَّارِ ، وَإِنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَال : " لَا تُعَذِّبُوا بِعَذَابِ اللَّهِ " ، وَكُنْتُ قَاتِلَهُمْ لِقَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّم : " مَنْ بَدَّلَ دِينَهُ ، فَاقْتُلُوهُ " ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ عَلِيًّا كَرَّمَ اللَّهُ وَجْهَهُ ، فَقَالَ : وَيْحَ ابْنِ أُمِّ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ .
Ikrimah (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) burned some apostates. When Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) found out, he said: If I had been there, I would not have burned them with fire, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Do not punish anyone with the punishment of Allah." Rather, I would have killed them, because the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever changes his religion, kill him." When Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) learned of this, he expressed regret (that why was this not known earlier?).
