[Machine] A group of people from the tribes of Ukl and Uraynah came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, we are people from a harsh land and we were not people of cultivation, so we migrated to the city. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered for a milking camel and a herd of goats to be given to them, and ordered them to go out in the land and drink from their urine and milk their camels. So they set out until they reached Nahiyat al-Harrah, where they killed the shepherd of the Prophet ﷺ , stole the camels, and disbelieved after their conversion to Islam. The Prophet ﷺ sent a team to pursue them, and when they captured them, he ordered their hands and feet to be cut off, their eyes to be cauterized, and left them in Nahiyat al-Harrah until they died. Qatadah said, "It was mentioned to us that this verse was revealed concerning them, meaning, 'Indeed, the recompense of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive upon earth to cause corruption is none but that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled from the land. That is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment.' (Quran 5:33)" Qatadah also mentioned that it reached them that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to urge in his sermons after that for giving charity and forbidding adultery.

Some people raided the camels of the Prophet ﷺ, drove them off, and apostatised. They killed the herdsman of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who was a believer. He (the Prophet) sent (people) in pursuit of them and they were caught. He had their hands and feet cut off, and their eyes put out. The verse regarding fighting against Allah and His Prophet ﷺ was then revealed. These were the people about whom Anas ibn Malik informed al-Hajjaj when he asked him.

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ cut off (the hands and feet of) those who had stolen his camels and he had their eyes put out by fire (heated nails), Allah reprimanded him on that (action), and Allah, the Exalted, revealed: "The punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Apostle and strive with might and main for mischief through the land is execution or crucifixion."

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ Said: The blood of a Muslim man who testifies that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah's Apostle should not lawfully be shed except only for one of three reasons: a man who committed fornication after marriage, in which case he should be stoned; one who goes forth to fight with Allah and His Apostle, in which case he should be killed or crucified or exiled from the land; or one who commits murder for which he is killed.

[Machine] Regarding the passage you provided, it translates to: "From Ibn Abbas regarding the highway, if they kill and take the money, they are killed and crucified. If they kill and do not take the money, they are killed but not crucified. If they take the money and do not kill, their hands and feet are cut from opposite sides. And if they fear the road, without taking any money, they are expelled from the land." As for Ibrahim bin Abi Yahya, he has another chain of narration about this.

[Machine] This verse was revealed in the context of the Battle of Uhud. It states that the punishment for those who fight against Allah and His messenger is that if they engage in fighting, they are to be killed and their wealth is to be seized. However, if they are killed without taking any wealth, they are to be killed. And if they take the wealth but do not kill, their hand and foot are to be cut off. And if they escape and are unable to harm the Muslims, then that is their punishment.

[Machine] Narrated Ibn Abbas Regarding His Saying {Indeed, the penalty for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger} [Al-Ma'idah 33] He said, "If he fights and kills, then he is to be killed if it is proven against him before his repentance. And if he fights and takes wealth and kills, then he is to be crucified if it is proven against him before his repentance. And if he fights and takes wealth but does not kill, then his hand and leg are to be amputated as a punishment if it is proven against him before his repentance. And if he fights and fears the path, then he is only to be exiled and his exile means that he cannot be pursued. Uthman ibn Ata narrated from his father from Ali that he said, "If he takes wealth and has not spilled blood, his hand and leg are to be amputated. And if he is found and has spilled blood, he is to be killed and crucified."

[Machine] He said about this verse, "Indeed, the punishment for those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger and strive to cause corruption on the earth is only that they be killed or crucified or that their hands and feet be cut off from opposite sides or that they be exiled. This is for them a disgrace in this world; and for them in the Hereafter is a great punishment." This was narrated from Qatadah and from Muwarrij. And it was narrated from Sa'id bin Jubayr and Ibrahim al-Nakha'i. Al-Shafi'i, may Allah have mercy on him, said: "The difference in their punishments depends on the differences in their actions, as Ibn Abbas said, 'if Allah wills.'"
