Allah says in surah al-Ma’idah:
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَن يَرْتَدَّ مِنكُمْ عَن دِينِهِ فَسَوْفَ يَأْتِي اللَّهُ بِقَوْمٍ يُحِبُّهُمْ وَيُحِبُّونَهُ أَذِلَّةٍ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَعِزَّةٍ عَلَى الْكَافِرِينَ يُجَاهِدُونَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَلَا يَخَافُونَ لَوْمَةَ لَائِمٍ ۚ ذَٰلِكَ فَضْلُ اللَّهِ يُؤْتِيهِ مَن يَشَاءُ ۚ وَاللَّهُ وَاسِعٌ عَلِيمٌ
O you who have believed, whoever of you apostates from his religion, then Allah will soon bring a people that He loves and who love Him, who are humble toward the believers and powerful against the disbelievers. They fight in the cause of Allah and do not fear the blame of any blamer. That is Allah’s bounty which He gives to whom He wishes. And Allah is Generous, All-Knowing. [5:54]
Commenting on this, Imam Abu Muhammad al-Baghawi wrote:
قوله عز وجل : ( ياأيها الذين آمنوا من يرتد منكم عن دينه فسوف يأتي الله بقوم يحبهم ويحبونه ) قرأ أهل المدينة والشام ” يرتدد ” بدالين على إظهار التضعيف ” عن دينه ” فيرجع إلى الكفر .ـ
Regarding Allah’s statement:
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَن يَرْتَدَّ مِنكُمْ عَن دِينِهِ فَسَوْفَ يَأْتِي اللَّهُ بِقَوْمٍ يُحِبُّهُمْ وَيُحِبُّونَهُ
O you who have believed, whoever of you apostates from his religion, then Allah will soon bring a people that He loves and who love Him …
The reciters of al-Madinah and Syria recited it as:
يَرْتَدِدْ
yartadid
with the letter dal twice.
عَن دِينِهِ
… from his religion …
and returns to a state of disbelief.
