Hadith 283
The Book of the Prohibited actions
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent us on an expedition and said to us, "If you find so- and-so (he named two persons belonging to the Quraish) commit them to the fire." When we were on the verge of departure, he said to us, "I ordered you to burn so-and-so, but it is Allah Alone Who punishes with the fire. So if you find them put them to death." <b>[Al- Bukhari]</b>.
عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال: بعثنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في بعث فقال: "إن وجدتم فلانًا وفلانًا" لرجلين من قريش سماهما "فأحرقوهما بالنار" ثم قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم حين أردنا الخروج: "إني كنت أمرتكم أن تحرقوا فلانًا وفلانًا، وإن النار لا يعذب بها إلا الله، فإن وجدتموهما فاقتلوهما" ((رواه البخاري)).
