tabarani:11850Isḥāq b. Ibrāhīm > ʿAbd al-Razzāq > Maʿmar > Ayyūb > ʿIkrimah > Ibn ʿAbbās

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever changes his religion or renounces his religion, then kill him." And he said, "Do not punish with the punishment of Allah," meaning the fire.  

الطبراني:١١٨٥٠حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّزَّاقِ عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ بَدَّلَ دِينَهُ أَوْ قَالَ رَجَعَ عَنْ دِينِهِ فَاقْتُلُوهُ وَقَالَ «لَا تُعَذِّبُوا بِعَذَابِ اللهِ» يَعْنِي النَّارَ

bukhari:3017ʿAlī b. ʿAbdullāh > Sufyān > Ayyūb > ʿIkrimah > ʿAlī Ḥarraq Qawm Fabalagh Ibn ʿAbbās

ʿAli burnt some people and this news reached Ibn ʿAbbas, who said, "Had I been in his place I would not have burnt them, as the Prophet ﷺ said, 'Don't punish (anybody) with Allah's Punishment.' No doubt, I would have killed them, for the Prophet ﷺ said, 'If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him.' "  

البخاري:٣٠١٧حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ أَنَّ عَلِيًّا ؓ حَرَّقَ قَوْمًا فَبَلَغَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ لَوْ كُنْتُ أَنَا لَمْ أُحَرِّقْهُمْ

لأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لاَ تُعَذِّبُوا بِعَذَابِ اللَّهِ وَلَقَتَلْتُهُمْ كَمَا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَنْ بَدَّلَ دِينَهُ فَاقْتُلُوهُ

"Some people apostatized after accepting Islam, and 'Ali burned them with fire. Ibn 'Abbas said: 'If it had been me, I would not have burned them; the Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: 'No one should be punished with the punishment of Allah.' If it had been me, I would have killed them; the Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: 'Whoever changes his religion, kill him.'"
