حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدَةَ الضَّبِّيُّ الْبَصْرِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ الثَّقَفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، أَنَّ عَلِيًّا، حَرَّقَ قَوْمًا ارْتَدُّوا عَنِ الإِسْلاَمِ، فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ لَوْ كُنْتُ أَنَا لَقَتَلْتُهُمْ، لِقَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ مَنْ بَدَّلَ دِينَهُ فَاقْتُلُوهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ وَلَمْ أَكُنْ لأُحَرِّقَهُمْ لِقَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏

"‏ لاَ تُعَذِّبُوا بِعَذَابِ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ عَلِيًّا فَقَالَ صَدَقَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ

Narrated 'Ikrimah:

That 'Ali burnt some people who apostasized from Islam. This news reached Ibn 'Abbas, so he said: "If it were me I would have killed them according to the statement of Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Whoever changes his religion then kill him.' And I would not have burned them because the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Do not punish with the punishment of Allah.' So this reached 'Ali, and he said: "Ibn 'Abbas has told the truth."

Al-Mubarakfuri — Tuhfat al-Ahwadhi

قَوْلُهُ : ( إِنَّ عَلِيًّا حَرَقَ قَوْمًا اِرْتَدُّوا عَنْ الْإِسْلَامِ ) رَوَى الطَّبَرَانِيُّ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ مِنْ طَرِيقِ سُوَيْدِ بْنِ غَفْلَةَ أَنَّ عَلِيًّا بَلَغَهُ أَنَّ قَوْمًا اِرْتَدُّوا عَنْ الْإِسْلَامِ فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَأَطْعَمَهُمْ ثُمَّ دَعَاهُمْ إِلَى الْإِسْلَامِ فَأَبَوْا فَحَفَرَ حَفِيرَةً ثُمَّ أَتَى بِهِمْ فَضَرَبَ أَعْنَاقَهُمْ وَرَمَاهُمْ فِيهَا ثُمَّ أَلْقَى عَلَيْهِمْ الْحَطَبَ فَأَحْرَقَهُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ صَدَقَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ. وَزَعَمَ أَبُو الْمُظَفَّرِ الإسْفِرَايِينِيُّ فِي الْمِلَلِ وَالنِّحَلِ : أَنَّ الَّذِينَ أَحْرَقَهُمْ عَلِيٌّ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ الرَّوَافِضِ اِدَّعَوْا فِيهِ الْإِلَهِيَّةَ وَهُمْ السَّبَئِيَّةُ وَكَانَ كَبِيرُهُمْ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ…
