2066 — al-Firyābī then informed us: Qutayba ibn Sa‘īd narrated to us: Mālik ibn Anas narrated to us, from his uncle Abū Suhayl ibn Mālik, who said: I was walking with ‘Umar ibn ‘Abd al-‘Azīz—may Allah have mercy on him—when he consulted me concerning the Qadarites. I said, “I believe you should call upon them to repent. If they repent, well and good; otherwise, put them to the sword.” He replied, “Indeed, that is also my view.” Mālik said, “And it is my view as well.”
