سَأَلَ رَجُلٌ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) عَنْ قَوْلِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِنَّما جَزاءُ الَّذِينَ يُحارِبُونَ اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ قَالَ ذَلِكَ إِلَى الْإِمَامِ يَفْعَلُ بِهِ مَا يَشَاءُ قُلْتُ فَمُفَوَّضٌ ذَلِكَ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ لَا وَ لَكِنْ نَحْوَ الْجِنَايَةِ .
Translation
From him, from Muhammad Bin Isa, from Yunus, from Yahya Al Halby, from Bureyd Bin Muawiya who said, ‘A man asked Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> about the Words of Allah<sup>azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic <span class="ibTxt"><a href="/#/books/quran:5#h33"><a href="/books/quran:5#h33">[5:33]</a></a> But rather, the Recompense of those who wage war against Allah and His Rasool</span>. He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘That is up to the Imam<sup>asws</sup>. He<sup>asws</sup> can do with him whatever he<sup>asws</sup> so desires to’. I said, ‘ So it has been delegated to him<sup>asws</sup>?’ He<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘No, but, it is roughly (like dealing with) the crime’.
