حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، أَنَّ عَلِيًّا ـ رضى الله عنه ـ حَرَّقَ قَوْمًا، فَبَلَغَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ لَوْ كُنْتُ أَنَا لَمْ أُحَرِّقْهُمْ، لأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ تُعَذِّبُوا بِعَذَابِ اللَّهِ ‏"‏. وَلَقَتَلْتُهُمْ كَمَا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ مَنْ بَدَّلَ دِينَهُ فَاقْتُلُوهُ ‏"‏.

বাংলা অনুবাদ
ইকরামাহ (রহ.) হতে বর্ণিত। ‘আলী (রাঃ) এক সম্প্রদায়কে আগুনে পুড়িয়ে ফেলেন। এ সংবাদ ‘আবদুল্লাহ্ ইবনু ‘আব্বাস (রাঃ)-এর নিকট পৌঁছলে তিনি বলেন, ‘যদি আমি হতাম, তবে আমি তাদেরকে জ্বালিয়ে ফেলতাম না। কেননা, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেন, তোমরা আল্লাহর আযাব দ্বারা কাউকে আযাব দিবে না। বরং আমি তাদেরকে হত্যা করতাম। যেমন নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেন, যে লোক তার দ্বীন বদলে ফেলে, তাকে হত্যা করে ফেল।’ (৬৯২২) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ২৭৯৫, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ)
