Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Ibrahim, regarding the verse of the Holy Qur'an { وَإِنْ کَانَ مِنْ قَوْمٍ بَیْنَکُمْ وَبَیْنَہُمْ مِیثَاقٌ}, says: If a person becomes Muslim in the land of war and someone kills him, then there is no blood money upon him, only expiation.

Hazrat Sha'bi, regarding the verse of the Holy Qur'an { وَإِنْ کَانَ مِنْ قَوْمٍ بَیْنَکُمْ وَبَیْنَہُمْ مِیثَاقٌ}, says that he should be from among the Ahl al-Dhimma, not one who comes under protection (aman).

Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) regarding the verse of the Holy Qur'an { وَإِنْ کَانَ مِنْ قَوْمٍ بَیْنَکُمْ وَبَیْنَہُمْ مِیثَاقٌ} says that it refers to a person who enters into a covenant and his people are also included in the covenant; his blood money will be given to his heirs, and his slaves will be set free.

Ibrahim, regarding the verse of the Holy Qur'an { فَإِنْ کَانَ مِنْ قَوْمٍ عَدُوٍّ لَکُمْ وَہُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ}, says that if a man is killed and his people are polytheists, and there is no treaty between him and Allah's Messenger ﷺ, then a believing slave will be freed. And if a Muslim kills such a polytheist with whom there is a treaty between him and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, then a believing slave must be freed, and the blood money will be given to his people with whom there was a treaty with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. His inheritance will go to the Muslims, and his blood money will be upon the Muslims for his polytheist people with whom there is a treaty with Allah's Messenger ﷺ. The Muslims will inherit his inheritance. His blood money will be upon his people because they pay the blood money on his behalf.
