[Machine] "He who changes his religion, kill him." This narration is transmitted to us by Ikrimah from Ibn Abbas, and it is also transmitted to us by Ibn Mas'ud and Aisha from the Prophet ﷺ  

ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ بَدَّلَ دِينَهُ فَاقْتُلُوهُ وَرُوِّينَاهُ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَرُوِّينَا مَعْنَاهُ عَنِ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَعَائِشَةَ ؓ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ  

Anas bin Malik said “The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ entered Makkah in the year of the conquest (of Makkah) wearing a helmet on his head. When he took off it a man came to him and said “Ibn Akhtal is hanging with the curtains of the Ka’bah.” He said “Kill him”. Abu Dawud said “The name of Ibn Akhtal is ‘Abd Allaah and Abu Barzat Al Aslami killed him. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2685)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ دَخَلَ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ مَكَّةَ وَعَلَى رَأْسِهِ مِغْفَرٌ فَلَمَّا نَزَعَهُ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ابْنُ خَطَلٍ مُتَعَلِّقٌ بِأَسْتَارِ الْكَعْبَةِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اقْتُلُوهُ  

"On the day of the Conquest of Makkah, the Messenger of Allah [SAW] granted amnesty to the people, except four men and two women. He said: 'Kill them, even if you find them clinging to the covers of Ka'bah.' (They were) 'Ikrimah bin Abi Jahl, 'Abdullah bin Khatal, Miqyas bin Subabah and 'Abdullah bin Sa'd bin Abi As-Sarh. 'Abdullah bin Khatl was caught while he was clinging to the covers of Ka'bah. Sa'eed bin Huraith and 'Ammar bin Yasir both rushed toward him, but Sa'eed, who was the younger of the two, got there before 'Ammar, and he killed him. Miqyas bin Subabah was caught by the people in the marketplace, and they killed him. 'Ikrimah traveled by sea, and he was caught in a storm. The crew of the ship said: 'Turn sincerely toward Allah, for your (false) gods cannot help you at all in this situation.' 'Ikrimah said: 'By Allah, if nothing came to save me at sea except sincerity toward Allah then nothing else will save me on land. O Allah, I promise You that if You save me from this predicament I will go to Muhammad [SAW] and put my hand in his, and I am sure that I will find him generous and forgiving.' So he came, and accepted Islam. 'Abdullah (bin Sa'd) bin Abi Sarh hid in the house of 'Uthman bin 'Affan, and when the Messenger of Allah [SAW] called the people to give their Oath of Allegiance, he brought him, and made him stand before the Prophet [SAW]. He ('Uthman) said: 'O Messenger of Allah! Accept the allegiance of 'Abdullah.' He raised his head and looked at him three times, refusing his allegiance each time, then he accepted his allegiance after three times. Then he turned to his Companions and said: 'Was there not any sensible man among you who would get up when he saw me refusing to give him my hand and kill him?' They said: 'We did not know, O Messenger of Allah, what was in your heart. Why did you not gesture to us with your eyes?' He said: 'It is not befitting for a Prophet that his eyes be deceitful.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4067)   

لَمَّا كَانَ يَوْمُ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ آمَنَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ النَّاسَ إِلَّا أَرْبَعَةَ نَفَرٍ وَامْرَأَتَيْنِ وَقَالَ اقْتُلُوهُمْ وَإِنْ وَجَدْتُمُوهُمْ مُتَعَلِّقِينَ بِأَسْتَارِ الْكَعْبَةِ عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ أَبِي جَهْلٍ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ خَطَلٍ وَمَقِيسُ بْنُ صُبَابَةَ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَرْحٍ فَأَمَّا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ خَطَلٍ فَأُدْرِكَ وَهُوَ مُتَعَلِّقٌ بِأَسْتَارِ الْكَعْبَةِ فَاسْتَبَقَ إِلَيْهِ سَعِيدُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ وَعَمَّارُ بْنُ يَاسِرٍ فَسَبَقَ سَعِيدٌ عَمَّارًا وَكَانَ أَشَبَّ الرَّجُلَيْنِ فَقَتَلَهُ وَأَمَّا مَقِيسُ بْنُ صُبَابَةَ فَأَدْرَكَهُ النَّاسُ فِي السُّوقِ فَقَتَلُوهُ وَأَمَّا عِكْرِمَةُ فَرَكِبَ الْبَحْرَ فَأَصَابَتْهُمْ عَاصِفٌ فَقَالَ أَصْحَابُ السَّفِينَةِ لِأَهْلِ السَّفِينَةِ أَخْلِصُوا فَإِنَّ آلِهَتَكُمْ لَا تُغْنِي عَنْكُمْ شَيْئًا هَاهُنَا قَالَ عِكْرِمَةُ وَاللهِ لَئِنْ لَمْ يُنَجِّنِي فِي الْبَحْرِ إِلَّا الْإِخْلَاصُ لَا يُنَجِّينِي فِي الْبَرِّ غَيْرُهُ اللهُمَّ إِنَّ لَكَ عَلَيَّ عَهْدًا إِنْ أَنْتَ عَافَيْتَنِي مِمَّا أَنَا فِيهِ أَنْ آتِيَ مُحَمَّدًا حَتَّى أَضَعَ يَدِي فِي يَدِهِ فَلَأَجِدَنَّهُ عَفُوًّا كَرِيمًا قَالَ فَجَاءَ فَأَسْلَمَ وَأَمَّا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَرْحٍ فَإِنَّهُ اخْتَفَى عِنْدَ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ ؓ فَلَمَّا دَعَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ النَّاسَ إِلَى الْبَيْعَةِ جَاءَ بِهِ حَتَّى أَوْقَفَهُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ بَايِعْ عَبْدَ اللهِ قَالَ فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِ ثَلَاثًا كُلُّ ذَلِكَ يَأْبَى فَبَايَعَهُ بَعْدَ ثَلَاثٍ ثُمَّ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ أَمَا كَانَ فِيكُمْ رَجُلٌ رَشِيدٌ يَقُومُ إِلَى هَذَا حِينَ رَآنِي كَفَفْتُ يَدِي عَنْ بَيْعَتِهِ فَيَقْتُلَهُ؟ فَقَالُوا مَا يُدْرِينَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا فِي نَفْسِكَ هَلَّا أَوْمَأْتَ إِلَيْنَا بِعَيْنِكَ؟ قَالَ إِنَّهُ لَا يَنْبَغِي لِنَبِيٍّ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ خَائِنَةُ الْأَعْيُنِ  

[Machine] Because he had embraced Islam and used to write down the revelations for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he reverted to polytheism and returned to Mecca. He only ordered the killing of Abdullah ibn Khatal because he was a Muslim. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent him as a witness and sent a man from the Ansar with him, and he had a servant who used to serve him as a Muslim. They stayed in a place, and the servant was commanded to slaughter a goat and prepare food for him. Then he slept and woke up to find that nothing had been prepared for him, so he attacked the servant and killed him. Then he returned to polytheism and he had a female singer and her companion who used to compose poems mocking the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . So he ordered both of them to be killed with him.  

لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ قَدْ أَسْلَمَ وَكَانَ يَكْتُبُ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الْوَحْيَ فَرَجَعَ مُشْرِكًا وَلَحِقَ بِمَكَّةَ وَإِنَّمَا أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ خَطَلٍ؛ لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ مُسْلِمًا فَبَعَثَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مُصَدِّقًا وَبَعَثَ مَعَهُ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَكَانَ مَعَهُ مَوْلًى يَخْدُمُهُ مُسْلِمًا فَنَزَلَ مَنْزِلًا فَأَمَرَ الْمَوْلَى أَنْ يَذْبَحَ تَيْسًا وَيَصْنَعَ لَهُ طَعَامًا وَنَامَ فَاسْتَيْقَظَ وَلَمْ يَصْنَعْ لَهُ شَيْئًا فَعَدَا عَلَيْهِ فَقَتَلَهُ ثُمَّ ارْتَدَّ مُشْرِكًا وَكَانَتْ لَهُ قَيْنَةٌ وَصَاحِبَتُهَا فَكَانَتَا تُغَنِّيَانِ بِهِجَاءِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَأَمَرَ بِقَتْلِهِمَا مَعَهُ  

[Machine] I went to the Prophet ﷺ and I was accompanied by two people from the Ash'ari tribe. I mentioned a hadith to him until he said, "Then he sent him to Yemen, and Mu'adh bin Jabal followed him. When he arrived, he threw a cushion for him and said, 'Sit down.' Then he saw a man with him who was bound. He asked, 'Who is this?' He said, 'This man used to be a Jew, then he converted to Islam, but then he returned to his previous religion, Judaism.' The man said, 'I will not sit until he is executed according to the decree of Allah and His Messenger ﷺ .' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Yes, sit.' He said, 'I will not sit until he is executed according to the decree of Allah and His Messenger ﷺ ,' three times. Then he ordered him to be executed."  

أَقْبَلْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَمَعِي رَجُلَانِ مِنَ الْأَشْعَرِيِّينَ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ إِلَى أَنْ قَالَ فَبَعَثَهُ عَلَى الْيَمَنِ ثُمَّ أَتْبَعَهُ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ عَلَيْهِ أَلْقَى لَهُ وِسَادَةً وَقَالَ انْزِلْ فَإِذَا عِنْدَهُ رَجُلٌ مُوثَقٌ قَالَ مَا هَذَا؟ قَالَ هَذَا كَانَ يَهُودِيًّا فَأَسْلَمَ ثُمَّ رَاجَعَ دِينَهُ دِينَ السُّوءِ فَتَهَوَّدَ فَقَالَ لَا أَجْلِسُ حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ قَضَاءَ اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ﷺ قَالَ نَعَمِ اجْلِسْ قَالَ لَا أَجْلِسُ حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ قَضَاءَ اللهِ وَرَسُولِهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ قَالَ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ فَقُتِلَ  

AbuMusa said: Mu'adh came to me when I was in the Yemen. A man who was Jew embraced Islam and then retreated from Islam. When Mu'adh came, he said: I will not come down from my mount until he is killed. He was then killed. One of them said: He was asked to repent before that. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4355)   

قَدِمَ عَلَيَّ مُعَاذٌ ؓ وَأَنَا بِالْيَمَنِ وَرَجُلٌ كَانَ يَهُودِيًّا فَأَسْلَمَ فَارْتَدَّ عَنِ الْإِسْلَامِ فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ مُعَاذٌ قَالَ لَا أَنْزِلُ عَنْ دَابَّتِي حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ فَقُتِلَ قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا وَكَانَ قَدِ اسْتُتِيبَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ  

[Machine] About Islam, he called it for twenty nights or close to it, then Mu'adh came and he called him but he refused, so he struck his neck. Abu Dawood said.  

عَنِ الْإِسْلَامِ فَدَعَاهُ عِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً أَوْ قَرِيبًا مِنْهَا فَجَاءَ مُعَاذٌ فَدَعَاهُ فَأَبَى فَضَرَبَ عُنُقَهُ قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ  

[Machine] Uthman ibn Affan used to invite the apostate three times and then kill him.  

كَانَ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ ؓ يَدْعُو الْمُرْتَدَّ ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ ثُمَّ يَقْتُلُهُ  

[Machine] Ali replied, "Do you not understand what I say?" He spoke in a low voice that I could hardly hear. Ali said, "Step on it until it dies." So, I asked the one who was accompanying me, "What did he say?" He said, "He said that the Christ is his Lord."  

لَهُ عَلِيٌّ مَا تَقُولُ فِيهِ؟ فَتَكَلَّمَ بِكَلَامٍ خَفِيَ عَلَيَّ فَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ طَؤُوهُ فَوُطِئَ حَتَّى مَاتَ فَقُلْتُ لِلَّذِي يَلِينِي مَا قَالَ؟ قَالَ قَالَ الْمَسِيحُ رَبُّهُ  

[Machine] And that Musaylimah Al-Kadhdhab is a messenger of Allah, and that the people of the mosque heard about it, so Abdullah asked, "Who is here?" So a group jumped up and said, "On behalf of the son of Nawwaha and his companions." So they brought them, and I was sitting. Abdullah bin Mas'ud said to Abdullah bin Nawwaha, "Where do you usually read from the Qur'an?" He said, "I used to read it to remind you." Abdullah bin Mas'ud said, "Repent." He refused. Abdullah bin Mas'ud commanded Qarzah bin Ka'b Al-Ansari to take him out to the market and hit his head. He said, "Then I heard Abdullah say, 'Whoever wants to see the son of Nawwaha killed in the market, let him come out and look at him.'" Haritha said, "I was one of those who came out, and there he was, stripped. Then Abdullah bin Mas'ud consulted the people about those men. Adi bin Hatim pointed to him for their killing. Jarir and Ash'ath stood up and said, 'No, rather guarantee their safety and protect their tribes.' So he sought their amnesty, and they repented, and their tribes guaranteed their safety.  

وَأَنَّ مُسَيْلِمَةَ الْكَذَّابَ رَسُولُ اللهِ وَأَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَهْلَ الْمَسْجِدِ عَلَى ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ مَنْ هَا هُنَا؟ فَوَثَبَ نَفَرٌ فَقَالَ عَلَيَّ بِابْنِ النَّوَّاحَةِ وَأَصْحَابِهِ فَجِيءَ بِهِمْ وَأَنَا جَالِسٌ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ لِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ النَّوَّاحَةِ أَيْنَ مَا كُنْتَ تَقْرَأُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ؟ قَالَ كُنْتُ أَتَّقِيكُمْ بِهِ قَالَ فَتُبْ قَالَ فَأَبَى قَالَ فَأَمَرَ قَرَظَةَ بْنَ كَعْبٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ فَأَخْرَجَهُ إِلَى السُّوقِ فَضَرَبَ رَأْسَهُ قَالَ فَسَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ يَقُولُ مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى ابْنِ النَّوَّاحَةِ قَتِيلًا فِي السُّوقِ فَلْيَخْرُجْ فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ حَارِثَةُ فَكُنْتُ فِيمَنْ خَرَجَ فَإِذَا هُوَ قَدْ جُرِّدَ ثُمَّ إِنَّ ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ اسْتَشَارَ النَّاسَ فِي أُولَئِكَ النَّفَرِ فَأَشَارَ إِلَيْهِ عَدِيُّ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ بِقَتْلِهِمْ فَقَامَ جَرِيرٌ وَالْأَشْعَثُ فَقَالَا لَا بَلِ اسْتَتِبْهُمْ وَكَفِّلْهُمْ عَشَائِرَهُمْ فَاسْتَتَابَهُمْ فَتَابُوا فُكَفَّلَهُمْ عَشَائِرَهُمْ
