20. Book of Penalties
٢٠۔ كِتَابُ الْحُدُودِ
ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ بِالْقَتْلِ لِمَنْ بَدَّلَ دِينَهُ رَجُلًا كَانَ أَوِ امْرَأَةً إِلَى أَيِّ دِينٍ كَانَ سِوَى الْإِسْلَامِ
[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Whoever changes his religion, kill him.'"
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ بَدَّلَ دِينَهُ فَاقْتُلُوهُ»
ذِكْرُ خَبَرٍ ثَانٍ يُصَرِّحُ بِصِحَّةِ مَا ذَكَرْنَاهُ
[Machine] “He said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Whoever leaves his religion or renounces his religion, then kill him and do not torture anyone with the punishment of Allah, meaning through fire.'
أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ تَرَكَ دِينَهُ أَوْ قَالَ رَجَعَ عَنْ دِينِهِ فَاقْتُلُوهُ وَلَا تُعَذِّبُوا بِعَذَابِ اللَّهِ أَحَدًا يَعْنِي بِالنَّارِ
ذِكْرُ السَّبَبِ الَّذِي مِنْ أَجْلِهِ أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا: {كَيْفَ يَهْدِي اللَّهُ قَوْمًا كَفَرُوا بَعْدَ إِيمَانِهِمْ}
"A man from among the Ansar accepted Islam, then he apostatized and went back to Shirk. Then he regretted that, and sent word to his people (saying): 'Ask the Messenger of Allah [SAW], is there any repentance for me?' His people came to the Messenger of Allah [SAW] and said: 'So and so regrets (what he did), and he has told us to ask you if there is any repentance for him?' Then the Verses: 'How shall Allah guide a people who disbelieved after their Belief up to His saying: Verily, Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful' was revealed. So he sent word to him, and he accepted Islam." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4068)
«كَانَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَسْلَمَ ثُمَّ ارْتَدَّ فَلَحِقَ بِالشِّرْكِ ثُمَّ نَدِمَ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى قَوْمِهِ أَنْ سَلُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ هَلْ لِي مِنْ تَوْبَةٍ؟ قَالَ فَنَزَلَتْ {كَيْفَ يَهْدِي اللَّهُ قَوْمًا كَفَرُوا بَعْدَ إِيمَانِهِمْ وَشَهِدُوا أَنَّ الرَّسُولَ حَقٌّ وَجَاءَهُمُ الْبَيِّنَاتُ} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {إِلَّا الَّذِينَ تَابُوا مِنْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ وَأَصْلِحُوا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ غَفُورٌ رَحِيمٌ} فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ قَوْمُهُ فَأَسْلَمَ»
