Sahih al-Bukhari — Apostates

Narrated `Itban bin Malik:Once Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to me in the morning, and a man among us said, "Where is Malik bin Ad- Dukhshun?" Another man from us replied, "He is a hypocrite who does not love Allah and His Apostle." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Don't you think that he says: None has the right to be worshipped but Allah, only for Allah's sake?" They replied, "Yes" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Nobody will meet Allah with that saying on the Day of Resurrection, but Allah will save him from the Fire

حدثنا عبدان، اخبرنا عبد الله، اخبرنا معمر، عن الزهري، اخبرني محمود بن الربيع، قال سمعت عتبان بن مالك، يقول غدا على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال رجل اين مالك بن الدخشن فقال رجل منا ذلك منافق لا يحب الله ورسوله. فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم " الا تقولوه يقول لا اله الا الله يبتغي. بذلك وجه الله ". قال بلى. قال " فانه لا يوافى عبد يوم القيامة به الا حرم الله عليه النار

Narrated:Abu `Abdur-Rahman and Hibban bin 'Atiyya had a dispute. Abu `Abdur-Rahman said to Hibban, "You know what made your companions (i.e. `Ali) dare to shed blood." Hibban said, "Come on! What is that?" `Abdur-Rahman said, "Something I heard him saying." The other said, "What was it?" `AbdurRahman said, "`Ali said, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent for me, Az-Zubair and Abu Marthad, and all of us were cavalry men, and said, 'Proceed to Raudat-Hajj (Abu Salama said that Abu 'Awana called it like this, i.e., Hajj where there is a woman carrying a letter from Hatib bin Abi Balta'a to the pagans (of Mecca). So bring that letter to me.' So we proceeded riding on our horses till we overtook her at the same place of which Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had told us. She was traveling on her camel. In that letter Hatib had written to the Meccans about the proposed attached of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) against them. We asked her, "Where is the letter which is with you?' She replied, 'I haven't got any letter.' So we made her camel kneel down and searched her luggage, but we did not find anything. My two companions said, 'We do not think that she has got a letter.' I said, 'We know that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) has not told a lie.'" Then `Ali took an oath saying, "By Him by Whom one should swear! You shall either bring out the letter or we shall strip off your clothes." She then stretched out her hand for her girdle (round her waist) and brought out the paper (letter). They took the letter to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). `Umar said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! (Hatib) has betrayed Allah, His Apostle and the believers; let me chop off his neck!" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O Hatib! What obliged you to do what you have done?" Hatib replied, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Why (for what reason) should I not believe in Allah and His Apostle? But I intended to do the (Mecca) people a favor by virtue of which my family and property may be protected as there is none of your companions but has some of his people (relatives) whom Allah urges to protect his family and property." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "He has said the truth; therefore, do not say anything to him except good." `Umar again said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! He has betrayed Allah, His Apostle and the believers; let me chop his neck off!" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Isn't he from those who fought the battle of Badr? And what do you know, Allah might have looked at them (Badr warriors) and said (to them), 'Do what you like, for I have granted you Paradise?' " On that, `Umar's eyes became flooded with tears and he said, "Allah and His Apostle know best

حدثنا موسى بن اسماعيل، حدثنا ابو عوانة، عن حصين، عن فلان، قال تنازع ابو عبد الرحمن وحبان بن عطية فقال ابو عبد الرحمن لحبان لقد علمت الذي جرا صاحبك على الدماء يعني عليا. قال ما هو لا ابا لك قال شىء سمعته يقوله. قال ما هو قال بعثني رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم والزبير وابا مرثد وكلنا فارس قال " انطلقوا حتى تاتوا روضة حاج قال ابو سلمة هكذا قال ابو عوانة حاج فان فيها امراة معها صحيفة من حاطب بن ابي بلتعة الى المشركين فاتوني بها ". فانطلقنا على افراسنا حتى ادركناها حيث قال لنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم تسير على بعير لها، وكان كتب الى اهل مكة بمسير رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم اليهم. فقلنا اين الكتاب الذي معك قالت ما معي كتاب. فانخنا بها بعيرها، فابتغينا في رحلها فما وجدنا شييا. فقال صاحبي ما نرى معها كتابا. قال فقلت لقد علمنا ما كذب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ثم حلف علي والذي يحلف به لتخرجن الكتاب او لاجردنك. فاهوت الى حجزتها وهى محتجزة بكساء فاخرجت الصحيفة، فاتوا بها رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال عمر يا رسول الله قد خان الله ورسوله والمومنين. دعني فاضرب عنقه. فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم " يا حاطب ما حملك على ما صنعت ". قال يا رسول الله مالي ان لا اكون مومنا بالله ورسوله، ولكني اردت ان يكون لي عند القوم يد، يدفع بها عن اهلي ومالي، وليس من اصحابك احد الا له هنالك من قومه من يدفع الله به عن اهله وماله. قال " صدق، لا تقولوا له الا خيرا ". قال فعاد عمر فقال يا رسول الله قد خان الله ورسوله والمومنين، دعني فلاضرب عنقه. قال " اوليس من اهل بدر، وما يدريك لعل الله اطلع عليهم فقال اعملوا ما شيتم فقد اوجبت لكم الجنة ". فاغرورقت عيناه فقال الله ورسوله اعلم
