The Messenger of Allah ﷺ appointed him commander over a detachment. He said: I went out along with it. He (the Prophet) said: If you find so-and-so, burn him with the fire. I then turned away, and he called me. So I returned to him, and he said: If you find so-and-so, kill him, and do not burn him, for no one punishes with fire except the Lord of the fire.

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَمَّرَهُ عَلَى سَرِيَّةٍ قَالَ فَخَرَجْتُ فِيهَا وَقَالَ إِنْ وَجَدْتُمْ فُلاَنًا فَاحْرِقُوهُ بِالنَّارِ فَوَلَّيْتُ فَنَادَانِي فَرَجَعْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ إِنْ وَجَدْتُمْ فُلاَنًا فَاقْتُلُوهُ وَلاَ تُحْرِقُوهُ فَإِنَّهُ لاَ يُعَذِّبُ بِالنَّارِ إِلاَّ رَبُّ النَّارِ

[Machine] Hamza ibn Amr al-Aslami, a companion of the Prophet ﷺ, narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent him along with a group to a man from the tribe of 'Udhrah. He said, "If you can overpower him, then burn him with fire." So they went, and when they concealed themselves from him, he called out to them or sent someone after them. They responded to him and then he said, "If you are able, kill him, but do not burn him with fire, as only the Lord of the Fire punishes with fire."

عَنْ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الْأَسْلَمِيِّ صَاحِبِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَعَثَهُ وَرَهْطًا مَعَهُ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ عُذْرَةَ فَقَالَ إِنْ قَدَرْتُمْ عَلَى فُلَانٍ فَأَحْرِقُوهُ بِالنَّارِ فَانْطَلَقُوا حَتَّى إِذَا تَوَارَوْا مِنْهُ نَادَاهُمْ أَوْ أَرْسَلَ فِي أَثَرِهِمْ فَرَدُّوهُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنْ أَنْتُمْ قَدَرْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ فَاقْتُلُوهُ وَلَا تُحْرِقُوهُ بِالنَّارِ فَإِنَّمَا يُعَذِّبُ بِالنَّارِ رَبُّ النَّارِ

[Machine] Hamza ibn Amr al-Aslami, the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent him and a group with him on a secret mission to a man from his enemy. He said, "If you are able to capture so-and-so, then burn him with fire." They set out until they concealed themselves from him, then he called out to them and sent trackers after them. They were returned to him, and then he said, "If you are able to overcome him, then kill him, but do not burn him with fire. For no one punishes with fire except the Lord of the Fire."

أَنَّ حَمْزَةَ بْنَ عَمْرٍو الْأَسْلَمِيَّ صَاحِبَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بَعَثَهُ وَرَهْطًا مَعَهُ سَرِيَّةً إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ عَدُوِّهِ فَقَالَ «إِنْ قَدَرْتُمْ عَلَى فُلَانٍ فَأَحْرِقُوهُ بِالنَّارِ» فَانْطَلَقُوا حَتَّى إِذَا تَوَارَوْا مِنْهُ نَادَاهُمْ فَأَرْسَلَ فِي آثَارِهِمْ فَرَدُّوهُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنْ أَنْتُمْ قَدَرْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ فَاقْتُلُوهُ وَلَا تُحْرِقُوهُ بِالنَّارِ؛ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يُعَذِّبُ بِالنَّارِ إِلَّا رَبُّ النَّارِ»

"إِنْ أَنْتُمْ قدَرْتُمْ عَلَيْه فَاقْتُلُوهُ وَلَا تَحْرقُوهُ بالنَّارِ فَإنَّهُ إِنَّمَا يُعَذِّبُ بالنَّارِ رَبُّ النَّارِ" .

" عَنْ حَنْظَلَةَ بْنِ عَمْرٍو الأَسْلَمِىِّ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ بَعَثَ سَرِيَّةً وَبَعَثَ مَعَهُ (*) إلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ عُذْرَةَ فَقَالَ: إِنْ وَجَدْتُمُوهُ فَأَحْرِقُوهُ بِالنَّارِ، فَلَمَّا تَوَارَوْا عَنْهُ صَاحَ بِهِمْ، أَوْ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ: إِنْ وَجَدْتُمُوهُ فَاقْتُلُوهُ وَلَا تَحْرِقُوهُ، وَإِنَّمَا يُعَذِّبُ بِالنَّارِ رَبُّ النَّارِ".
