Narrated Ikrima (RA): Ali burnt some people and this news reached Ibn Abbas (RA), who said, "Had I been in his place I would not have burnt them, as the Prophet ﷺ said, Dont punish (anybody) with Allahs Punishment. No doubt, I would have killed them, for the Prophet ﷺ said, If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him.
