Ali رضی اللہ عنہ burned some people who retreated from islam. When Ibn Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما was informed of it, he said: If it had been I, I would not have then burned, for the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: Do not inflict Allah’s punishment on anyone, but would have had killed them on account of the statement of the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. The Messenger said: Kill those who change their religion. When ‘Ali رضی اللہ عنہ was informed about it he said: How truly Ibn Abbas said!

The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم as saying: The blood of a Muslim man who testifies that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah should not be lawfully shed but only for one of three reasons: married fornicator, soul for soul, and one who deserts his religion separating himself from the community.

Narrated Aishah رضی اللہ عنہا, Ummul Muminin:
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ الْبَاهِلِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ طَهْمَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ رُفَيْعٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا يَحِلُّ دَمُ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَّا بِإِحْدَى ثَلَاثٍ:‏‏‏‏ رَجُلٌ زَنَى بَعْدَ إِحْصَانٍ فَإِنَّهُ يُرْجَمُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَرَجُلٌ خَرَجَ مُحَارِبًا لِلَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَإِنَّهُ يُقْتَلُ أَوْ يُصْلَبُ أَوْ يُنْفَى مِنَ الْأَرْضِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَوْ يَقْتُلُ نَفْسًا فَيُقْتَلُ بِهَا .
The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم Said: The blood of a Muslim man who testifies that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Messenger should not lawfully be shed except only for one of three reasons: a man who committed fornication after marriage, in which case he should be stoned; one who goes forth to fight with Allah and His Messenger, in which case he should be killed or crucified or exiled from the land; or one who commits murder for which he is killed.

I went to the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم while two men who were Ash’ arIs were with me. One of them was on my right and the other on my left side. Bothe of them asked him for employment. The prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم was silent. He asked: What do you say Abu Musa, or Abdullah bin Qais (Abu Musa’s name)? I replied: By him who has sent you with truth, they did not inform me of what they had in their hearts, and I did not know that they would ask for an employment. He said: I have the scene before my eyes that he had his toothstick below his lip which receded. He (the prophet) said: We will never or will not put in charge of our work anyone who asks for it. But go, ye, Abu Musa, or Abdullah bin Qais. He then sent him as a Governor of the Yemen, After him he sent Muadh bin Jabal رضی اللہ عنہ . When Muadh رضی اللہ عنہ came to him, he said: come down, and he put a cushion for him. He saw that a man was chained with him. He asked: What is this? He replied: He was a Jew and he accepted Islam. He then converted to his religion, an evil religion. He said: I will not sit until he is killed according to the decision of Allah and his Messenger صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. He said: Yes, be seated. He said: I will not sit until he is killed according to the decision of Allah and his Messenger صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. He said it three times. He then commanded for it and he was killed. Both of them then discussed the question of prayer and vigilance at night. One of them, probably Muadh رضی اللہ عنہ, said: So far as I am concerned, I sleep and I keep vigilance: I keep vigilance and I sleep: I hope for the same reward for my sleep as for my vigilance.

Narrated Abu Musa رضی اللہ عنہ said:
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا الْحِمَّانِيُّ يَعْنِى عَبْدَ الْحَمِيدِ ابْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ يَحْيَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَبُرَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَدِمَ عَلَيَّ مُعَاذٌ وَأَنَا بِالْيَمَنِ وَرَجُلٌ كَانَ يَهُودِيًّا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَسْلَمَ فَارْتَدَّ عَنِ الْإِسْلَامِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ مُعَاذٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا أَنْزِلُ عَنْ دَابَّتِي حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُتِلَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَحَدُهُمَا وَكَانَ قَدِ اسْتُتِيبَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ .
Muadh رضی اللہ عنہ came to me when I was in the Yemen. A man who was Jew embraced Islam and then retreated from Islam. When Muadh رضی اللہ عنہ came, he said: I will not come down from my mount until he is killed. He was then killed. One of them said: He was asked to repent before that.

Abu Burdah رضی اللہ عنہ said:
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا الشَّيْبَانِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ بِهَذِهِ الْقِصَّةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَأُتِيَ أَبُو مُوسَى بِرَجُلٍ قَدِ ارْتَدَّ عَنِ الْإِسْلَامِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَدَعَاهُ عِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً أَوْ قَرِيبًا مِنْهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَجَاءَ مُعَاذٌ فَدَعَاهُ فَأَبَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَضَرَبَ عُنُقَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ وَرَوَاهُ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ،‏‏ لَمْ يَذْكُرِ الِاسْتِتَابَةَ وَرَوَاهُ ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى لَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِيهِ الِاسْتِتَابَةَ.
A man who turned back from Islam was brought to Abu Musa رضی اللہ عنہ . He invited him to repent for twenty days or about so. Muadh رضی اللہ عنہ then came and invited him (to embrace Islam) but he refused. So he was beheaded. Abu Dawood said: It was narrated by Abdul Malik bin Umair from Abu Burdah, but he did not mention his being asked to repent. It was narrated by Ibn Fudail from Ash Shabani, from Saeed bin Burdah, from his father, from Abu Musa, and he did not mention him being asked to repent.
Da`eef Sunan Abu Dawood : 4357
This story (similar to no. 4356) was narrated from Al-Masudi, from Al-Qasim, Who said:
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ مُعَاذٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بِهَذِهِ الْقِصَّةِ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَلَمْ يَنْزِلْ حَتَّى ضُرِبَ عُنُقُهُ وَمَا اسْتَتَابَهُ.
He did not dismount until his head had been chopped off, and he did not ask him to repent.
Sahih Sunan Abu Dawood : 4358
Narrated Abdullah bin Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما :
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ يَزِيدَ النَّحْوِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَرْحٍ يَكْتُبُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَزَلَّهُ الشَّيْطَانُ فَلَحِقَ بِالْكُفَّارِ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُقْتَلَ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَاسْتَجَارَ لَهُ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ فَأَجَارَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
Abdullah bin Abu Sarh used to write (the revelation) for the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. Satan made him slip, and he joined the infidels. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم commanded to kill him on the day of Conquest (of Makkah). Uthman bin Affan رضی اللہ عنہ sought protection for him. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم gave him protection.

But go, ye, Abu Musa, or Abdullah bin Qais. He then sent him as a Governor of the Yemen, After him he sent Muadh bin Jabal رضی اللہ عنہ . When Muadh رضی اللہ عنہ came to him, he said: come down, and he put a cushion for him. He saw that a man was chained with him. He asked: What is this? He replied: He was a Jew and he accepted Islam. He then converted to his religion, an evil religion. He said: I will not sit until he is killed according to the decision of Allah and his Messenger صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. He said: Yes, be seated. He said: I will not sit until he is killed according to the decision of Allah and his Messenger صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. He said it three times. He then commanded for it and he was killed. Both of them then discussed the question of prayer and vigilance at night. One of them, probably Muadh رضی اللہ عنہ, said: So far as I am concerned, I sleep and I keep vigilance: I keep vigilance and I sleep: I hope for the same reward for my sleep as for my vigilance.

Narrated Abu Musa رضی اللہ عنہ said:
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا الْحِمَّانِيُّ يَعْنِى عَبْدَ الْحَمِيدِ ابْنَ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ يَحْيَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَبُرَيْدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَدِمَ عَلَيَّ مُعَاذٌ وَأَنَا بِالْيَمَنِ وَرَجُلٌ كَانَ يَهُودِيًّا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَأَسْلَمَ فَارْتَدَّ عَنِ الْإِسْلَامِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ مُعَاذٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا أَنْزِلُ عَنْ دَابَّتِي حَتَّى يُقْتَلَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقُتِلَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ أَحَدُهُمَا وَكَانَ قَدِ اسْتُتِيبَ قَبْلَ ذَلِكَ .
Muadh رضی اللہ عنہ came to me when I was in the Yemen. A man who was Jew embraced Islam and then retreated from Islam. When Muadh رضی اللہ عنہ came, he said: I will not come down from my mount until he is killed. He was then killed. One of them said: He was asked to repent before that.

Abu Burdah رضی اللہ عنہ said:
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلَاءِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصٌ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا الشَّيْبَانِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ بِهَذِهِ الْقِصَّةِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَأُتِيَ أَبُو مُوسَى بِرَجُلٍ قَدِ ارْتَدَّ عَنِ الْإِسْلَامِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَدَعَاهُ عِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً أَوْ قَرِيبًا مِنْهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَجَاءَ مُعَاذٌ فَدَعَاهُ فَأَبَى، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَضَرَبَ عُنُقَهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد:‏‏‏‏ وَرَوَاهُ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ،‏‏ لَمْ يَذْكُرِ الِاسْتِتَابَةَ وَرَوَاهُ ابْنُ فُضَيْلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الشَّيْبَانِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى لَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِيهِ الِاسْتِتَابَةَ.
A man who turned back from Islam was brought to Abu Musa رضی اللہ عنہ . He invited him to repent for twenty days or about so. Muadh رضی اللہ عنہ then came and invited him (to embrace Islam) but he refused. So he was beheaded. Abu Dawood said: It was narrated by Abdul Malik bin Umair from Abu Burdah, but he did not mention his being asked to repent. It was narrated by Ibn Fudail from Ash Shabani, from Saeed bin Burdah, from his father, from Abu Musa, and he did not mention him being asked to repent.
Da`eef Sunan Abu Dawood : 4357
This story (similar to no. 4356) was narrated from Al-Masudi, from Al-Qasim, Who said:
حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ مُعَاذٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا الْمَسْعُودِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بِهَذِهِ الْقِصَّةِ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ فَلَمْ يَنْزِلْ حَتَّى ضُرِبَ عُنُقُهُ وَمَا اسْتَتَابَهُ.
He did not dismount until his head had been chopped off, and he did not ask him to repent.
Sahih Sunan Abu Dawood : 4358
Narrated Abdullah bin Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما :
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ أَبِيهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ يَزِيدَ النَّحْوِيِّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ كَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ سَعْدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَرْحٍ يَكْتُبُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَأَزَلَّهُ الشَّيْطَانُ فَلَحِقَ بِالْكُفَّارِ فَأَمَرَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُقْتَلَ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَاسْتَجَارَ لَهُ عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَفَّانَ فَأَجَارَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
Abdullah bin Abu Sarh used to write (the revelation) for the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. Satan made him slip, and he joined the infidels. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم commanded to kill him on the day of Conquest (of Makkah). Uthman bin Affan رضی اللہ عنہ sought protection for him. The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم gave him protection.

Ikrimah said:
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ حَنْبَلٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيل بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا أَيُّوبُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَنَّ عَلِيًّا عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام أَحْرَقَ نَاسًا ارْتَدُّوا عَنِ الْإِسْلَامِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَمْ أَكُنْ لِأُحْرِقَهُمْ بِالنَّارِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏إِنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا تُعَذِّبُوا بِعَذَابِ اللَّهِ وَكُنْتُ قَاتِلَهُمْ بِقَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ مَنْ بَدَّلَ دِينَهُ فَاقْتُلُوهُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ عَلِيًّا عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام، ‏‏‏‏‏‏فَقَالَ:‏‏‏‏ وَيْحَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ .
Ali رضی اللہ عنہ burned some people who retreated from islam. When Ibn Abbas رضی اللہ عنہما was informed of it, he said: If it had been I, I would not have then burned, for the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم said: Do not inflict Allah’s punishment on anyone, but would have had killed them on account of the statement of the Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. The Messenger said: Kill those who change their religion. When ‘Ali رضی اللہ عنہ was informed about it he said: How truly Ibn Abbas said!
Sahih Sunan Abu Dawood : 4352
Abdullah (bin Masud) رضی اللہ عنہ reported:
حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عَوْنٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُرَّةَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا يَحِلُّ دَمُ رَجُلٍ مُسْلِمٍ يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَّا بِإِحْدَى ثَلَاثٍ:‏‏‏‏ الثَّيِّبُ الزَّانِي، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالنَّفْسُ بِالنَّفْسِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَالتَّارِكُ لِدِينِهِ الْمُفَارِقُ لِلْجَمَاعَةِ .
The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم as saying: The blood of a Muslim man who testifies that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah should not be lawfully shed but only for one of three reasons: married fornicator, soul for soul, and one who deserts his religion separating himself from the community.
Sahih Sunan Abu Dawood : 4353
Narrated Aishah رضی اللہ عنہا, Ummul Muminin:
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ الْبَاهِلِيُّ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ طَهْمَانَ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ رُفَيْعٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، ‏‏‏‏‏‏قَالَتْ:‏‏‏‏ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:‏‏‏‏ لَا يَحِلُّ دَمُ امْرِئٍ مُسْلِمٍ يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَّا بِإِحْدَى ثَلَاثٍ:‏‏‏‏ رَجُلٌ زَنَى بَعْدَ إِحْصَانٍ فَإِنَّهُ يُرْجَمُ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏وَرَجُلٌ خَرَجَ مُحَارِبًا لِلَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَإِنَّهُ يُقْتَلُ أَوْ يُصْلَبُ أَوْ يُنْفَى مِنَ الْأَرْضِ، ‏‏‏‏‏‏أَوْ يَقْتُلُ نَفْسًا فَيُقْتَلُ بِهَا .
The Messenger of Allah صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم Said: The blood of a Muslim man who testifies that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Messenger should not lawfully be shed except only for one of three reasons: a man who committed fornication after marriage, in which case he should be stoned; one who goes forth to fight with Allah and His Messenger, in which case he should be killed or crucified or exiled from the land; or one who commits murder for which he is killed.

I went to the Prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم while two men who were Ash’ arIs were with me. One of them was on my right and the other on my left side. Bothe of them asked him for employment. The prophet صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم was silent. He asked: What do you say Abu Musa, or Abdullah bin Qais (Abu Musa’s name)? I replied: By him who has sent you with truth, they did not inform me of what they had in their hearts, and I did not know that they would ask for an employment. He said: I have the scene before my eyes that he had his toothstick below his lip which receded. He (the prophet) said: We will never or will not put in charge of our work anyone who asks for it. But go, ye, Abu Musa, or Abdullah bin Qais. He then sent him as a Governor of the Yemen, After him he sent Muadh bin Jabal رضی اللہ عنہ . When Muadh رضی اللہ عنہ came to him, he said: come down, and he put a cushion for him. He saw that a man was chained with him. He asked: What is this? He replied: He was a Jew and he accepted Islam. He then converted to his religion, an evil religion. He said: I will not sit until he is killed according to the decision of Allah and his Messenger صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. He said: Yes, be seated. He said: I will not sit until he is killed according to the decision of Allah and his Messenger صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم. He said it three times. He then commanded for it and he was killed. Both of them then discussed the question of prayer and vigilance at night. One of them, probably Muadh رضی اللہ عنہ, said: So far as I am concerned, I sleep and I keep vigilance: I keep vigilance and I sleep: I hope for the same reward for my sleep as for my vigilance.
