Hadith # 1609
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) sent us on an expedition and said to us, "If you find so-and-so (he named two persons belonging to the Quraish) commit them to the fire." When we were on the verge of departure, he said to us, "I ordered you to burn so-and-so, but it is Allah Alone Who punishes with the fire. So if you find them put them to death."
[Al-Bukhari]
Commentary
The Prophet (PBUH) has clearly stated that no one is to be burnt in any case, not even an enemy.
