7157. Narrated Abū Mūsā: A man embraced Islām and then reverted back to Judaism. Mu'ādḥ bin Jabal came and saw the man with Abū Mūsā. Mu'ādḥ asked, "What is wrong with this (man)?" Abū Mūsā replied, "He embraced Islām and then reverted back to Judaism." Mu'ādh said, "I will not sit down unless you kill him (as it is) the verdict of Allāh and His Messenger ﷺ."

Arabic text

7157 - حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَحْبُوبُ بْنُ الحَسَنِ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ هِلاَلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى: أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَسْلَمَ ثُمَّ تَهَوَّدَ، فَأَتَى مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ وَهُوَ عِنْدَ أَبِي مُوسَى فَقَالَ: مَا لِهَذَا؟ قَالَ: أَسْلَمَ ثُمَّ تَهَوَّدَ، قَالَ: «لاَ أَجْلِسُ حَتَّى أَقْتُلَهُ، قَضَاءُ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ»
