Sunan Abu Dawood : 4356
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.
