It was narrated from Ikrimah: "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 (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) 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 (صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم) said: Whoever changes his religion, kill him.
