[Machine] As for me, if I were to kill them, it would be according to the saying of the Prophet ﷺ , and if I were to burn them, it would be due to the prohibition of the Prophet ﷺ . The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever changes his religion, kill him," and he also said, "Do not punish with the punishment of Allah." This is the wording of the hadith of Isma'il, and in another narration of Ya'qub, concerning a group of heretics or apostates, so he ordered for them to be burnt.
أَمَّا أَنَا فَلَوْ كُنْتُ لَقَتَلْتُهُمْ لِقَوْلِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَلَمَا حَرَّقْتُهُمْ لِنَهْيِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ بَدَّلَ دِينَهُ فَاقْتُلُوهُ وَقَالَ لَا تُعَذِّبُوا بِعَذَابِ اللهِ ﷻ لَفْظُ حَدِيثِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ يَعْقُوبَ بِقَوْمٍ مِنَ الزَّنَادِقَةِ أَوْ مُرْتَدِّينَ فَأَمَرَ بِهِمْ فَحُرِّقُوا
