أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَمْرُو بْنُ الْحَارِثِ وَذَكَرَ آخَرُ عَنْ بُكَيْرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ
بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ سَرِيَّةً وَأَنَا فِيهِمْ قَالَ «إِنْ لَقِيتُمْ فُلَانًا وَفُلَانًا فَحَرِّقُوهُمَا بِالنَّارِ» فَلَمَّا وَدَّعَنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنِّي كُنْتُ أَمَرْتُكُمْ أَنْ تُحَرِّقُوهُمَا بِالنَّارِ وَإِنَّهُ لَا يَنْبَغِي أَنْ يُعَذِّبَ بِعَذَابِ اللهِ فَإِذَا لَقِيتُمُوهُمَا فَاقْتُلُوهُمَا»

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ dispatched a secret expedition with me among them. He said: "If you meet so-and-so and so-and-so, burn them with fire." When we bid farewell to the Prophet ﷺ, he said: "I had commanded you to burn them with fire, but it is not fitting to punish with Allah's punishment. So if you meet them, kill them."
