Bayhaqi 17319 — The one who wages war (muharib) repents
قَالَ اللهُ تَعَالَى: {إِلَّا الَّذِينَ تَابُوا مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ تَقْدِرُوا عَلَيْهِمْ} [المائدة: 34] قَالَ الشَّافِعِيُّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ حِكَايَةً عَنْ بَعْضِ أَصْحَابِهِ، قَالَ: كُلُّ مَا كَانَ لِلَّهِ مِنْ حَدٍّ سَقَطَ بِتَوْبَتِهِ، وَكُلُّ مَا كَانَ لِلْآدَمِيِّينَ لَمْ يَبْطُلْ، قَالَ: وَبِهَذَا أَقُولُ.
Allah Almighty says: "Except for those who repent before you overpower them." [Surah al-Ma'idah: 34]
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him), reporting from some of his companions, said that they said: "Every hadd that is a right of Allah Almighty is dropped by the (offender's) repentance, and every right that belongs to people is not annulled."
Imam al-Shafi'i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "And this is what I hold too."

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْحَافِظُ، أنبأ أَبُو عَمْرِو بْنُ حَمْدَانَ، أنبأ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ، أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ، قَالَ: حُدِّثْتُ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، قَالَ: " مَنْ حَارَبَ فَهُوَ مُحَارَبٌ قَالَ سَعِيدٌ: فَإِنْ أَصَابَ دَمًا قُتِلَ، وَإِنْ أَصَابَ دَمًا وَمَالًا صُلِبَ، فَإِنَّ الصَّلْبَ أَشَدُّ، وَإِذَا أَصَابَ مَالًا وَلَمْ يُصِبْ دَمًا قُطِعَتْ يَدُهُ وَرِجْلُهُ لِقَوْلِهِ: {أَوْ تُقَطَّعَ أَيْدِيهِمْ وَأَرْجُلُهُمْ مِنْ خِلَافٍ} [المائدة: ٣٣]، فَإِنْ تَابَ فَتَوْبَتُهُ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ اللهِ، وَيُقَامُ عَلَيْهِ الْحَدُّ ".
Sa'id bin Jubayr (may Allah have mercy on him) said: Whoever commits highway robbery is the one who wages war. He also said: If he has only killed, he is to be killed; if he has taken property along with killing, he is to be killed and then crucified; if he has only taken property and not killed, his hand and foot are to be cut off. If he repents, that is between him and Allah, and the hadd will (still) be established.
