Ali burned a group of people. When this reached Ibn Abbas, he said, "Had it been me, I would not have burned them, because the Prophet ﷺ said, 'Do not punish with the punishment of Allah.' But I would have killed them, as the Prophet ﷺ said, 'Whoever changes his religion, kill him.'"
حدثنا علي بن عبد الله حدثنا سفيان عن أيوب
أن عليا رضي الله عنه حرق قوما فبلغ ابن عباس فقال لو كنت أنا لم أحرقهم لأن النبي ﷺ قال لا تعذبوا بعذاب الله ولقتلتهم كما قال النبي ﷺ من بدل دينه فاقتلوه
