Don't Punish (anybody) with Allah's Punishment

[Sahih Bukhari: Volume 4, Book 52, Number 260]
Narrated Ikrima (Radi Allah Anhu): Ali (Radi Allah Anhu) burnt some people and this news reached Ibn 'Abbas (Radi Allah Anhu), who said, "Had I been in his place I would not have burnt them, as the Prophet (sal-allahu- alleihi-wasallam ) said, 'Don't punish (anybody) with Allah's Punishment.' No doubt, I would have killed them, for the Prophet said, 'If somebody (a Muslim) discards his religion, kill him.' "
