حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ
أَنَّ عَلِيًّا أُتِيَ بِقَوْمٍ مِنْ هَؤُلَاءِ الزَّنَادِقَةِ، وَمَعَهُمْ كُتُبٌ، فَأَمَرَ بِنَارٍ فَأُجِّجَتْ، ثُمَّ أَحْرَقَهُمْ وَكُتُبَهُمْ، قَالَ عِكْرِمَةُ: فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ: لَوْ كُنْتُ أَنَا لَمْ أُحَرِّقْهُمْ؛ لِنَهْيِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، وَلَقَتَلْتُهُمْ لِقَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ: مَنْ بَدَّلَ دِينَهُ فَاقْتُلُوهُ، وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: لَا تُعَذِّبُوا بِعَذَابِ اللهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ

✧ ʿAlī was brought a group of those heretics (zanādiqa) who had books with them. He ordered a fire to be kindled and then burned them and their books. ʿIkrimah said: That reached Ibn ʿAbbās, and he said, 'Had it been me, I would not have burned them, due to the prohibition of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, but I would have killed them, due to the saying of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: "Whoever changes his religion, kill him." And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Do not punish with the punishment of Allah, Mighty and Majestic."
