Bayhaqi 16873 — Killing one who apostatises from Islam

وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدِ بْنُ أَبِي عَمْرٍو، ثنا أَبُو الْعَبَّاسِ الْأَصَمُّ، ثنا بَحْرُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ التَّنُوخِيِّ، أَنَّ امْرَأَةً يُقَالُ لَهَا: أُمُّ قِرْفَةَ، كَفَرَتْ بَعْدَ إِسْلَامِهَا، فَاسْتَتَابَهَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ فَلَمْ تَتُبْ، فَقَتَلَهَا " قَالَ اللَّيْثُ: وَذَاكَ الَّذِي سَمِعْنَا، وَهُوَ رَأْيِي. قَالَ ابْنُ وَهْبٍ: وَقَالَ لِي مَالِكٌ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ. قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ: فَمَا كَانَ لَنَا أَنْ نَحْتَجَّ بِهِ إِذْ كَانَ ضَعِيفًا عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ بِالْحَدِيثِ. قَالَ الشَّيْخُ: ضَعْفُهُ فِي انْقِطَاعِهِ، وَقَدْ رُوِّينَاهُ مِنْ وَجْهَيْنِ مُرْسَلَيْنِ.
Sa'id bin Abd al-Aziz al-Tanukhi (may Allah have mercy on him) said: A woman named Umm Qirfah fell into apostasy. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) asked her to repent; she refused, so he (may Allah be pleased with him) had her killed.
Imam al-Layth (may Allah have mercy on him) said: That is what we have heard, and it is my view. Ibn Wahb said: Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) said the same to me. Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: We could not use it as evidence, since it is weak according to the scholars of hadith. The Shaykh said: Its weakness lies in its being disconnected (munqati'), and we have narrated it through two mursal routes.
