Question

I was talking to someone who said that in islam, muslims are allowed to kill innocent people as it says so in their hadith: Sahih Bukhari Volume 4, Book 52, Number 256 Sahih Muslim, Book 019, Number 4361 Sunan Abu-Dawud, Book 38, Number 4470 I was shocked when I read these hadith. Can you please clarify if these hadith trully mean that muslims are allowed to go around killing innocent people. I find this very concerning!
