[Machine] That they should not impose a punishment on any of the Muslims in enemy territory until they leave for the territory of reconciliation. Al-Shafi'i said: It has been narrated from Umar ibn al-Khattab, and this is disapproved, as he criticized the use of an unconfirmed hadith and said, "Tell us the name of the sheikh." He also said, "Makhul narrated from Zaid ibn Thabit, but Makhul did not see Zaid ibn Thabit." Al-Shafi'i said: His saying "Accompanying the polytheists" means that if one follows them, then it is worse for him. And whoever abandons the punishment out of fear that the limited punishment will enter the land of the polytheists, then he should leave it on the coasts of the Muslims along with their weapons, which are connected to the land of the enemy.
