2606. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "I have been ordered to fight the people until they say Lā Ilāha Illallāh," and if they say that, then their blood and wealth will be protected from me, except what it makes obligatory upon them, and their reckoning is up to Allāh."(Saḥīḥ) There are narrations on this topic from Jābir, Abū Sa'eed and Ibn 'Umar. [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Ḥadīth is Ḥasan Saḥīḥ.

٢٦٠٦ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌هَنَّادٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنِ ‌الْأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا: لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ،» فَإِذَا قَالُوهَا: عَصَمُوا مِنِّي دِمَاءَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ إِلَّا بِحَقِّهَا وَحِسَابُهُمْ عَلَى اللهِ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ، وَسَعْدٍ، وَابْنِ عُمَرَ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Commentary

Illā bi-Haqqiha: Translated as 'Except what it makes it obligatory upon them' is that if a crime is committed after embracing Islam which is financially and physically punishable according to Islamic Law, he will get punished accordingly, and he cannot escape the legal punishment just by being a Muslim.
