[Machine] Narrated Ibn Abbas regarding the saying of Allah, "Indeed, the penalty for 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." He said, "There was a group of people among the people of the Scripture who had an agreement and a covenant with the Prophet ﷺ . However, they broke their agreement and spread corruption on the earth. So Allah gave His Prophet ﷺ the option, if He willed, to kill them, or if He willed, to crucify them, or if He willed, to cut off their hands and feet from opposite sides, or if He willed, to exile them from the land. As for exile, it means to flee in the land. If they converted to Islam and repented, their conversion would be accepted from them and nothing that happened previously would be held against them."  

عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ فِي قَوْلِهِ {إِنَّمَا جَزَاءُ الَّذِينَ يُحَارِبُونَ اللهَ وَرَسُولَهُ وَيَسْعَوْنَ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَسَادًا} قَالَ «قَوْمٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عَهْدٌ وَمِيثَاقٌ فَنَقَضُوا الْعَهْدَ وَأَفْسَدُوا فِي الْأَرْضِ فَخَيَّرَ اللهُ نَبِيَّهُ ﷺ إِنْ شَاءَ أَنْ يَقْتُلَ وَإِنْ شَاءَ صَلَبَ وَإِنْ شَاءَ أَنْ يَقْطَعَ أَيْدِيَهُمْ وَأَرْجُلَهُمْ مِنْ خِلَافٍ وَأَمَّا النَّفْيُ فَهُوُ الْهَرَبُ فِي الْأَرْضِ فَإِنْ جَاءَ تَائِبًا فَدَخَلَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ قُبِلَ مِنْهُ وَلَمْ يُؤْخَذْ بِمَا سَلَفَ مِنْهُ»
