Hadith record

Ali, from his father, from Amro Bin Usman, from Ubeydullah Bin Is’haq Al madainy, from Abu Al Hassan Al Reza asws , said, ‘He asws was asked about the Words of Allah azwj Mighty and Majestic [5:33] But rather, the Recompense of those who wage war against Allah and His Rasool and strive to make mischief in the land is only this, that they should be killed – the Verse. So what is that which Obligates one from these four?’ So he asws said: ‘When he wages war against Allah azwj and His azwj Rasool saww , and strives to make mischief in the land and he kills, so he would be killed due to it. And if he kills and take the wealth (steals), he would be killed and crucified. And if he were to take the wealth (steal) and does not kill, his hand and his leg would be cut from opposite sides. And if he were to brandish the sword, so he wages war against Allah azwj and His azwj Rasool saww , and strives in the land to make mischief, and does not kill and does not take the wealth (steals), he would be exiled from the land’. I said, ‘How would he be exiled, and what is the boundary of his exile?’ He asws said: ‘He would be exiled from the city in which he did what he did, to another city, and it would be written to the people of that city that he is in exile, so that they should neither sit with him, nor pledge allegiance to him, nor inter-marry with him, nor eat with him, nor drink with him. So that is done with him for a year. So if he were to go out from that city to another, it would be written to them with similar to that, until the year is completed’. I said, ‘So if he were to divert himself to the land of the Polytheism in order to enter it?’ He asws said: ‘If he were to divert himself to the land of the Polytheism in order to enter into it, its people, he would be fought against (and killed)’.
