3971. It was narrated from Anas bin Mālik that the Prophet ﷺ said: "I have been commanded to fight the idolators until they bear witness to Lā ilāha illallāh (there is none worthy of worship except Allāh) and that Muḥammad is His slave and Messenger. If they bear witness to Lā ilāha illallāh and that Muḥammad is His slave and Messenger, and they pray as we pray and face our Qiblah, and eat our slaughtered animals, then their blood and wealth becomes forbidden to us except for a right that is due." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Commentary
'I have been commanded': The fighting a battle against unbelievers is permitted. But if they become Muslims, then fighting them is not permissible, provided they bring into practice the fundamental commands of Islam, and live like Muslims.
