Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34993 — What they said on one who wages war

Ibn Jurayj (may Allah have mercy on him) says: It was related to me on the authority of Sa'id bin Jubayr (may Allah have mercy on him) that he (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "Whoever fights is a combatant." Then he said: "If he sheds blood, he is to be killed. If he sheds blood and also seizes property, he is to be crucified, for crucifixion is more severe. And when he seizes property and does not shed blood, one of his hands and one of his legs are to be cut off, because of this saying of Allah, the Lord of Honour: 'Or their hands and their legs be cut off from opposite sides.' Then if he repents, his repentance is between him and Allah, and the prescribed punishment is to be carried out on him."
