عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ:
أَنَّ عَلِيًّا قَتَلَ قَوْمًا كَفَرُوا بَعْدَ إِسْلَامِهِمْ، وَأَحْرَقَهُمْ بِالنَّارِ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ: لَوْ كُنْتُ لَقَتَلْتُهُمْ وَلَمْ أُحَرِّقْهُمْ، لِأَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ: مَنْ بَدَّلَ - أَوْ قَالَ: مَنْ رَجَعَ عَنْ - دِينِهِ فَاقْتُلُوهُ، وَلَا تُعَذِّبُوا بِعَذَابِ اللهِ، يَعْنِي النَّارَ قَالَ: فَبَلَغَ قَوْلُ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَلِيًّا فَقَالَ: " وَيْحَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ
Translation
✧ Ali killed a people who disbelieved after their Islam and burned them with fire. That reached Ibn Abbas, and he said: "If it were I, I would have killed them and not burned them, because the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Whoever changes—or he said: whoever reverts from—his religion, kill him, and do not torture with the punishment of Allah,' meaning fire." He said: "Ibn Abbas's statement reached Ali, and he said: 'Woe to Ibn Abbas!'"
