Al-Baṣrī, Ibrāhīm al-Nakhaʿī, ʿAṭāʾ ibn Abī Rabāḥ, and others said: The prescribed punishment for the sodomite is the same as the prescribed punishment for the fornicator. This is the view of al-Thawrī and the people of Kufa.

1524 — Aḥmad ibn Manīʿ narrated to us, saying: Yazīd ibn Hārūn narrated to us, saying: Hammām narrated to us, from al-Qāsim ibn ʿAbd al-Wāḥid al-Makkī, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿAqīl, that he heard Jābir saying: The Messenger of Allāh, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, the thing I most fear for my nation is the deed of the people of Lot." (1)

This is a ḥasan gharīb ḥadīth. We only know it through this chain, from ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿAqīl ibn Abī Ṭālib, from Jābir.

Chapter 25: What has been reported concerning the apostate

1525 — Aḥmad ibn ʿAbda al-Ḍabbī narrated to us, saying: ʿAbd al-Wahhāb al-Thaqafī narrated to us, saying: Ayyūb narrated to us, from ʿIkrima: That ʿAlī burned a people who had apostatized from Islam. When that reached Ibn ʿAbbās, he said: "Had it been me, I would have killed them, in accordance with the saying of the Messenger of Allāh, peace and blessings be upon him." The Messenger of Allāh, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever changes his religion, kill him." And I would not have burned them, because the Messenger of Allāh, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Do not punish with the punishment of Allāh." When that reached ʿAlī, he said: "Ibn ʿAbbās has spoken the truth." (2)

(1) Its chain is weak; ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿAqīl alone reported it and was not followed, and the imams have declared him weak. It was also recorded by Ibn Mājah (2563), and it is in the Musnad (15093).
(2) Its chain is authentic. It was recorded by al-Bukhārī (3017), Abū Dāwūd (4351), Ibn Mājah (2535), and al-Nasāʾī 7/104 and 105, and it is in the Musnad (1871), and the Ṣaḥīḥ =
