Musnad of Abdullah ibn al-Abbas ibn Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with them)
Musnad Ahmad 2552 — Musnad of Abdullah ibn al-Abbas ibn Abd
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ ، أَنَّ عَلِيًّا أَخَذَ نَاسًا ارْتَدُّوا عَنِ الْإِسْلَامِ ، فَحَرَّقَهُمْ بِالنَّارِ ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ، فَقَالَ : لَوْ كُنْتُ أَنَا لَمْ أُحَرِّقْهُمْ ، إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " لَا تُعَذِّبُوا بِعَذَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَحَدًا " , وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مَنْ بَدَّلَ دَيْنَهُ فَاقْتُلُوهُ " , فَبَلَغَ عَلِيًّا مَا قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ، فَقَالَ : وَيْحَ ابْنِ أُمِّ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ .
Ikrimah reports that on one occasion, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) burned some apostates with fire. 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 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 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 he had not known this earlier).
