حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ قَالَ:
السُّلْطَانُ وَلِيُّ قَتْلِ [١]مَنْ حَارَبَ الدِّينَ وَإِنْ قَتَلَ أَخَا امْرِئٍ وَأَبَاهُ، فَلَيْسَ إِلَى مَنْ يُحَارِبُ الدِّينَ وَيَسْعَى فِي الْأَرْضِ فَسَادًا سَبِيلٌ، يَعْنِي دُونَ السُّلْطَانِ، وَلَا يُقَصَّرْ عَنِ الْحُدُودِ بَعْدَ أَنْ تَبْلُغَ إِلَى الْإِمَامِ، فَإِنَّ إِقَامَتَهَا مِنَ السُّنَّةِ

The ruler is the guardian for the execution of [1] whoever wages war against the religion, even if he has killed a man's brother and father. Whoever wages war against the religion and strives to spread corruption in the land cannot be dealt with by anyone, that is, other than the ruler. And the prescribed punishments (ḥudūd) must not be curtailed once they have reached the Imam, for carrying them out is part of the Sunnah.
