أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ، أنا أَبُو عَمْرِو بْنُ حَمْدَانَ، ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، ثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، ثنا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ أَبِي عَمْرٍو الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ " أَنَّهُ أُتِيَ بِمُسْتَوْرِدٍ الْعِجْلِيِّ وَقَدِ ارْتَدَّ، فَعَرَضَ عَلَيْهِ الْإِسْلَامَ فَأَبَى "، قَالَ: " فَقَتَلَهُ، وَجَعَلَ مِيرَاثَهُ بَيْنَ وَرَثَتِهِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ " ⦗٤١٦⦘ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: قَدْ يَزْعُمُ بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْحَدِيثِ مِنْكُمْ أَنَّهُ غَلَطٌ قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ فِي مَوْضِعٍ آخَرَ: فَقُلْتُ لَهُ، يَعْنِي لِلَّذِي يُنَاظِرُهُ: هَلْ سَمِعْتَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْحَدِيثِ مِنْكُمْ مَنْ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّ الْحُفَّاظَ لَمْ يَحْفَظُوا عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ: فَقَسَمَ مَالَهُ بَيْنَ وَرَثَتِهِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ، وَنَخَافُ أَنْ يَكُونَ الَّذِي زَادَ هَذَا غَلَطَ؟ قَالَ الْإِمَامُ أَحْمَدُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: وَقَرَأْتُ فِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ عَنْ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ أَنَّهُ ضَعَّفَ الْحَدِيثَ الَّذِي رُوِيَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ، أَنَّ مِيرَاثَ الْمُرْتَدِّ لِوَرَثَتِهِ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ قَالَ الشَّيْخُ: قَدْ رُوِيَتْ قِصَّةُ الْمُسْتَوْرِدِ مِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ وَلَيْسَ فِيهَا هَذِهِ اللَّفْظَةُ، وَإِنَّمَا فِيهَا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَعْرِضْ لِمَالِهِ.
Abu Amr al-Shaybani said that al-Mustawrid al-Ijli, who had apostatised, was brought to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). He offered Islam to him, but he refused. Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) killed him and gave his inheritance to his Muslim relatives.
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Some of your people of hadith claim that this is an error. In another place he said: I said to him (the one debating with him): Have you heard anyone among your people of hadith claim that the hadith masters did not preserve from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) the words "so he divided his wealth among his Muslim heirs", and that we fear the one who added this made an error?
Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him) declared weak the hadith in which it is reported from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the inheritance of an apostate goes to his Muslim heirs.
The Shaykh said: The story of al-Mustawrid has been narrated from Ali through another route without these words; it only says that he did not touch his wealth.
