4065. It was narrated from 'Ikrimah: "Some people apostatized after accepting Islam, and 'Alî burned them with fire. Ibn 'Abbâs said: 'If it had been me, I would not have burned them; the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'No one should be punished with the punishment of Allâh.' If it had been me, I would have killed them; the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Whoever changes his religion, kill him.'" (Sahîh)
