Hadith About Death Punishment For Blasphemy
I had a discussion with a friend on blasphemy. I was of the point that there is no worldly punishment, for the one who commits blasphemy, in Quran. But he quoted a hadith in which Prohet Muhammad (PBUH) commanded his fellows to murder a person who said wrong things about him. Now, neither I nor he could find any reference online but I have heard this same hadith at many places and used by clerics often to justify the punishment of blasphemy. Is there any such hadith where Prophet himself ordered a punishment for anyone committing the act of blasphemy?

Yes sister there are such hadith’s where the content is somewhat similar to blasphemy punishments, though I don’t remeber the reference. But once I heard Javed Ghamidi sahab explaining that those hadith’s were misunderstood for blashphemy punishment. Actually, those acts of killing were under tha law of Itmam Al Hujjah as explained in Quran.

I am still confused. He says the hadith is extremely weak but then agrees with the content based on itmam-e-hujjat. A person took law in his hand and prophet appreciated. Why??

He explained it further by saying that it was true only when Prophet pbuh was among them because of “itemam-e-hujjat”.

The punishment for the deniers of Prophet Muhammad SAW was rendered by God through the hands of companions of Prophet Muhammad.
