What is the meaning of the hadith, “Expel the mushrikin from the Arabian Peninsula”?

Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: We ask you to clarify the meaning of the hadith , as many people use this hadith as evidence for killing those with treaties and those granted safe conduct.

Answer:
First, the Messenger did not say, “Kill them” or “Kill the mushrikin in the Arabian Peninsula.” Rather, he said, “Expel them.” Second, the ones addressed by this command are the rulers, those who have the authority to expel the mushrikin, not individuals. This is within the jurisdiction of the one in authority.
So these people are mistaken in their understanding of the hadith. First, they killed them instead of expelling them. The Messenger did not order their killing. The second point is…
…that the one in authority is the one who handles this. The third point is that these people are either under a treaty or have been granted safe conduct, so they must be secured, and it is not permissible to kill them. When their term expires, they return to their lands. Or, if they commit a violation, the one in authority expels them. Matters are regulated by specific rules, not by chaos. Yes.
