Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: This verse was revealed about the highway robbers: "Indeed, the punishment of those who wage war against Allah and His Messenger is..." When they commit crimes, commit robbery, kill people, and seize wealth, then they are to be crucified. If they kill people but do not seize wealth, then they are to be killed. If they seize wealth but do not kill anyone, then their hands and feet are to be cut off from opposite sides. And if they run away and are not apprehended, then their punishment is exile.
