A number of hadiths, often with multiple narrators and appearing in multiple hadith collections, refer to capital punishment for apostates. In versions narrated by the companion Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud, the punishment applies to apostates who also abandon the community. Some academic scholars argue that the hadiths narrating punishment for apostates reflect an attitude that would have arisen during the Riddah (apostasy) wars under the first Caliph, Abu Bakr.
