سَمِعْتُ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) يَقُولُ كُلُّ مُسْلِمٍ بَيْنَ مُسْلِمَيْنِ ارْتَدَّ عَنِ الْإِسْلَامِ وَ جَحَدَ مُحَمَّداً ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) نُبُوَّتَهُ وَ كَذَّبَهُ فَإِنَّ دَمَهُ مُبَاحٌ لِكُلِّ مَنْ سَمِعَ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُ وَ امْرَأَتَهُ بَائِنَةٌ مِنْهُ يَوْمَ ارْتَدَّ فَلَا تَقْرَبْهُ وَ يُقْسَمُ مَالُهُ عَلَى وَرَثَتِهِ وَ تَعْتَدُّ امْرَأَتُهُ [بَعْدُ] عِدَّةَ الْمُتَوَفَّى عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا وَ عَلَى الْإِمَامِ أَنْ يَقْتُلَهُ وَ لَا يَسْتَتِيبَهُ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, altogether from Ibn Mahboub, from Hisham Bin Salim, from Ammar Al Sabaty who said, ‘I heard Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> saying: ‘Every Muslim, in between two Muslims reneges from Al-Islam (becomes an apostate), and denies Muhammad<sup>saww</sup> of his<sup>saww</sup> Prophet-hood, and belies him<sup>saww</sup>. So his blood is Permissible to be shed for every one who hears that from him, and his wife is irrevocably divorced from him the day he reneges, so she cannot go near him, and his wealth is distributed upon his inheritors, and his wife would observe the waiting period of the one widowed from her husband, and it would be upon the Imam<sup>asws</sup> that he kills him, and does not give him (the opportunity) to repent’.
