Hadith 28:615

Ibn ‘Uyaynah narrated to us, from Ayyub, from ‘Ikrimah, from Ibn ‘Abbas, that he mentioned some people whom ‘Ali had burned. He said: "If it were I, I would not have burned them with fire, because of the saying of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ): 'Do not punish with the punishment of Allah.' And if it were I, I would have killed them, because of the saying of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ): 'Whoever changes his religion, kill him.'"

حدثنا بن عيينة عن أيوب عن عكرمة عن بن عباس أنه ذكر ناسا أحرقهم علي فقال لو كنت أنا لم أحرقهم بالنار لقول رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لا تعذبوا بعذاب الله ولو كنت أنا لقتلتهم لقول رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم من بدل دينه فاقتلوه
