6922. Narrated 'Ikrima رضي الله عنه: Some Zanādiqa (atheists) were brought to 'Ali; and he burnt them. The news of this event reached Ibn 'Abbās who said, "If I had been in his place, I would not have burnt them, as Allāh's Messenger ﷺ forbade it, saying, 'Do not punish anybody with Allāh's punishment (fire).' I would have killed them according to the statement of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ, 'Whoever changed his Islāmic religion, then kill him.'"

Arabic text

6922 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الفَضْلِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، قَالَ: أُتِيَ عَلِيٌّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، بِزَنَادِقَةٍ فَأَحْرَقَهُمْ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، فَقَالَ: لَوْ كُنْتُ أَنَا لَمْ أُحْرِقْهُمْ، لِنَهْيِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لاَ تُعَذِّبُوا بِعَذَابِ اللَّهِ» وَلَقَتَلْتُهُمْ، لِقَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ بَدَّلَ دِينَهُ فَاقْتُلُوهُ»
