4059 - أَخْبَرَنَا عِمْرَانُ بْنُ مُوسَى قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «مَنْ بَدَّلَ دِينَهُ فَاقْتُلُوهُ»

Commentary
Religion signifies Islam. This punishment is only for that person who becomes an unbeliever after having embraced Islam. He would also be deemed an apostate, because the Prophet's ﷺ address is directed toward Muslims.
