Bayhaqi 16760 — Those who said that apostates who kill a Muslim

قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ: قَدْ قَتَلَ طُلَيْحَةُ عُكَّاشَةَ بْنَ مِحْصَنٍ وَثَابِتَ بْنَ أَقْرَمَ، ثُمَّ أَسْلَمَ فَلَمْ يَضْمَنْ عَقْلًا وَلَا قَوَدًا.
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Tulayhah killed Sayyiduna Ukkashah bin Mihsan and Sayyiduna Thabit bin Aqram (may Allah be pleased with them both), then he accepted Islam, and he was not held liable for either blood money (diyah) or retaliation (qisas)."
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحُسَيْنِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْقَطَّانُ، أَنْبَأَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، ثَنَا ⦗٣١٨⦘ يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، ثَنَا الْحَجَّاجُ بْنُ أَبِي مَنِيعٍ، ثَنَا جَدِّي، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ: لَمَّا اسْتَخْلَفَ اللهُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ، وَارْتَدَّ مَنِ ارْتَدَّ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ عَنِ الْإِسْلَامِ فَذَكَرَ الْقِصَّةَ فِي بَعْثِ خَالِدِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ وَقِتَالِهِ قَالَ: وَكَانَ طُلَيْحَةُ شَدِيدَ الْبَأْسِ فِي الْقِتَالِ، فَقَتَلَ طُلَيْحَةُ يَوْمَئِذٍ عُكَّاشَةَ بْنَ مِحْصَنٍ وَابْنَ أَقْرَمَ، فَلَمَّا غَلَبَ الْحَقُّ طُلَيْحَةَ تَرَجَّلَ ثُمَّ أَسْلَمَ وَأَهَلَّ بِعُمْرَةٍ، فَرَكِبَ يَسِيرُ فِي النَّاسِ آمِنًّا، حَتَّى مَرَّ بِأَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ، ثُمَّ نَفَذَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَقَضَى عُمْرَتَهُ. وَيُذْكَرُ عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبَاحٍ أَنَّهُ أَسْقَطَ عَنْهُ الْقِصَاصَ.
Al-Zuhri (may Allah have mercy on him) says: When Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) became caliph and the Arabs apostatised, he sent Sayyiduna Khalid bin al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) to fight them. Tulayhah was fierce in battle, and he killed Sayyiduna Ukkashah bin Mihsan (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Ibn Aqram (may Allah be pleased with him). Later he became Muslim, came to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) in Madinah, and then went to Makkah and performed Umrah. It is mentioned from Ata' bin Abi Rabah that he waived the retaliation (qisas) for him.
