Sunan Ibn Majah: Book 20, Hadith 7

It was narrated from Ibn`Abbas that the Messenger of Allah said: “Whoever denies a Verse of the Qur’an, it is permissible to strike his neck (i.e., execute him) Whoever says, Lailaha illallahu wahduhu la sharika lahu, wa anna Muhammadan `abduhu wa rasuluhu (None has the right to be worshiped but Allah (SWT) alone, and Muhammad (ﷺ) is His slave and Messenger), no one has any was of harming him, unless he (does something which) deserves a legal punishment, and it is carried out on him.”

حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ، حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ أَبَانَ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏
“‏ مَنْ جَحَدَ آيَةً مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ فَقَدْ حَلَّ ضَرْبُ عُنُقِهِ وَمَنْ قَالَ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ فَلاَ سَبِيلَ لأَحَدٍ عَلَيْهِ إِلاَّ أَنْ يُصِيبَ حَدًّا فَيُقَامَ عَلَيْهِ ‏”‏ ‏.‏

Sunan Ibn Majah: Book 20, Hadith 7
Da’if (Darussalam)

 
The above hadith is from the Sunan Ibn Majah collection of hadiths. Compiled by the scholar Ibn Majah, who passed away in 273 AH (886 CE), the Sunan Ibn Majah is recognized as one of the six canonical hadith collections, or Kutub al-Sittah, within Sunni Islam. This substantial work contains approximately 4,000 narrations that address a wide array of subjects crucial to Islamic life. These topics encompass matters of faith, detailed ritual practices, personal ethics, and broader social issues. While it is a respected and important resource, its standing is often considered slightly below that of the other five major collections. This perception exists because scholars have identified a number of weaker narrations within its contents. Despite this qualification, it continues to be an invaluable reference for Islamic scholars and students engaged in deep study.
