قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ( صلى الله عليه وآله ) سَاحِرُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يُقْتَلُ وَ سَاحِرُ الْكُفَّارِ لَا يُقْتَلُ قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَ لِمَ لَا يُقْتَلُ سَاحِرُ الْكُفَّارِ قَالَ لِأَنَّ الْكُفْرَ أَعْظَمُ مِنَ السِّحْرِ وَ لِأَنَّ السِّحْرَ وَ الشِّرْكَ مَقْرُونَانِ .
Translation
Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father, from Al Nowfaly, from Al Sakuny, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘The Muslim sorcerer would be killed, and the Infidel sorcerer would not be killed’. It was said, ‘O Rasool-Allah<sup>saww</sup>! And why would the Infidel sorcerer not be killed?’ He<sup>saww</sup> said: ‘Because the infidelity is more grievous than the sorcery, and because the sorcery and the Polytheism are pairs’.
