When Allah gave victory to His Apostle over the people of Mecca, Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up among the people and after glorifying Allah, said, "Allah has prohibited fighting in Mecca and has given authority to His Apostle and the believers over it, so fighting was illegal for anyone before me, and was made legal for me for a part of a day, and it will not be legal for anyone after me. Its game should not be chased, its thorny bushes should not be uprooted, and picking up its fallen things is not allowed except for one who makes public announcement for it, and he whose relative is murdered has the option either to accept a compensation for it or to retaliate." Al-ʿAbbas said, "Except Al-Idhkhir, for we use it in our graves and houses." Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Except Al-Idhkhir." Abu Shah, a Yemenite, stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Get it written for me." Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Write it for Abu Shah." (The sub-narrator asked Al-Auza'i): What did he mean by saying, "Get it written, O Allah's Apostle?" He replied, "The speech which he had heard from Messenger of Allah ﷺ ."  

لَمَّا فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ ﷺ مَكَّةَ قَامَ فِي النَّاسِ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ حَبَسَ عَنْ مَكَّةَ الْفِيلَ وَسَلَّطَ عَلَيْهَا رَسُولَهُ وَالْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَإِنَّهَا لاَ تَحِلُّ لأَحَدٍ كَانَ قَبْلِي وَإِنَّهَا أُحِلَّتْ لِي سَاعَةً مِنْ نَهَارٍ وَإِنَّهَا لاَ تَحِلُّ لأَحَدٍ بَعْدِي فَلاَ يُنَفَّرُ صَيْدُهَا وَلاَ يُخْتَلَى شَوْكُهَا وَلاَ تَحِلُّ سَاقِطَتُهَا إِلاَّ لِمُنْشِدٍ وَمَنْ قُتِلَ لَهُ قَتِيلٌ فَهْوَ بِخَيْرِ النَّظَرَيْنِ إِمَّا أَنْ يُفْدَى وَإِمَّا أَنْ يُقِيدَ فَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ إِلاَّ الإِذْخِرَ فَإِنَّا نَجْعَلُهُ لِقُبُورِنَا وَبُيُوتِنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلاَّ الإِذْخِرَ فَقَامَ أَبُو شَاهٍ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ فَقَالَ اكْتُبُوا لِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ اكْتُبُوا لأَبِي شَاهٍ قُلْتُ لِلأَوْزَاعِيِّ مَا قَوْلُهُ اكْتُبُوا لِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ هَذِهِ الْخُطْبَةَ الَّتِي سَمِعَهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ  

"The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Allah has made Mecca, a sanctuary, so it was a sanctuary before me and will continue to be a sanctuary after me. It was made legal for me (i.e. I was allowed to fight in it) for a few hours of a day. It is not allowed to uproot its shrubs or to cut its trees, or to chase (or disturb) its game, or to pick up its luqata (fallen things) except by a person who would announce that (what he has found) publicly.' Al-ʿAbbas said, 'O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Except Al-Idhkhir (a kind of grass) (for it is used) by our goldsmiths and for our graves.' The Prophet ﷺ then said, 'Except Al-Idhkhir.' " ʿIkrima said, 'Do you know what "chasing or disturbing" the game means? It means driving it out of the shade to occupy its place."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ حَرَّمَ مَكَّةَ فَلَمْ تَحِلَّ لأَحَدٍ قَبْلِي وَلاَ تَحِلُّ لأَحَدٍ بَعْدِي وَإِنَّمَا أُحِلَّتْ لِي سَاعَةً مِنْ نَهَارٍ لاَ يُخْتَلَى خَلاَهَا وَلاَ يُعْضَدُ شَجَرُهَا وَلاَ يُنَفَّرُ صَيْدُهَا وَلاَ تُلْتَقَطُ لُقَطَتُهَا إِلاَّ لِمُعَرِّفٍ وَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِلاَّ الإِذْخِرَ لِصَاغَتِنَا وَقُبُورِنَا فَقَالَ إِلاَّ الإِذْخِرَ وَعَنْ خَالِدٍ عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ قَالَ هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا لاَ يُنَفَّرُ صَيْدُهَا هُوَ أَنْ يُنَحِّيَهُ مِنَ الظِّلِّ يَنْزِلُ مَكَانَهُ  

Verily Allah held back the elephants from Mecca and gave the domination of it to His Messenger and believers, and it (this territory) was not violable to anyone before me and it was made violable to me for an hour of a day, and it shall not be violable to anyone after me. So neither molest the game, nor weed out thorns from it. And it is not lawful for anyone to pick up a thing dropped but one who makes public announcement of it. And it a relative of anyone is killed he is entitled to opt for one of two things. Either he should be paid blood-money or he can take life as (a just retribution). 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with him) said: Messenger of Allah, but Idhkhir (a kind of herbage), for we use it for our graves and for our houses, whereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: With the exception of Idhkhir. A person known as Abu Shah, one of the people of Yemen, stood up and said: Messenger of Allah, (kindly) write it for me. Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said I Write it for Abu Shah. Walid said: I asked al-Auzai': What did his saying mean:" Write it for me, Messenger of Allah"? He said: This very address that he had heard from Messenger of Allah ﷺ.  

لَمَّا فَتَحَ اللَّهُ ﷻ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَكَّةَ قَامَ فِي النَّاسِ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ حَبَسَ عَنْ مَكَّةَ الْفِيلَ وَسَلَّطَ عَلَيْهَا رَسُولَهُ وَالْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَإِنَّهَا لَنْ تَحِلَّ لأَحَدٍ كَانَ قَبْلِي وَإِنَّهَا أُحِلَّتْ لِي سَاعَةً مِنْ نَهَارٍ وَإِنَّهَا لَنْ تَحِلَّ لأَحَدٍ بَعْدِي فَلاَ يُنَفَّرُ صَيْدُهَا وَلاَ يُخْتَلَى شَوْكُهَا وَلاَ تَحِلُّ سَاقِطَتُهَا إِلاَّ لِمُنْشِدٍ وَمَنْ قُتِلَ لَهُ قَتِيلٌ فَهُوَ بِخَيْرِ النَّظَرَيْنِ إِمَّا أَنْ يُفْدَى وَإِمَّا أَنْ يُقْتَلَ فَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ إِلاَّ الإِذْخِرَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّا نَجْعَلُهُ فِي قُبُورِنَا وَبُيُوتِنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلاَّ الإِذْخِرَ فَقَامَ أَبُو شَاهٍ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ فَقَالَ اكْتُبُوا لِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ اكْتُبُوا لأَبِي شَاهٍ قَالَ الْوَلِيدُ فَقُلْتُ لِلأَوْزَاعِيِّ مَا قَوْلُهُ اكْتُبُوا لِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ هَذِهِ الْخُطْبَةَ الَّتِي سَمِعَهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ  

"This Makkah was made sacred by Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, the day He created the heavens and the Earth. Fighting therein was not permitted for any one before me or after me rather it was permitted for me for a short part of a day. At this moment it is a sanctuary that is sacred by the decree of Allah until the Day of Resurrection. Its green grass is not to be uprooted or cut, its trees are not to be cut and its game is not to be distributed. IT is not permissible to pick up its lost property except by one who will announce it publicly." Al-Abbas who was a man of experience, stood up and said: "Except Idkhair, for we use it for our raves and houses." He said: "Except Idhkhir."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ هَذِهِ مَكَّةُ حَرَّمَهَا اللَّهُ ﷻ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ لَمْ تَحِلَّ لأَحَدٍ قَبْلِي وَلاَ لأَحَدٍ بَعْدِي وَإِنَّمَا أُحِلَّتْ لِي سَاعَةً مِنْ نَهَارٍ وَهِيَ سَاعَتِي هَذِهِ حَرَامٌ بِحَرَامِ اللَّهِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ لاَ يُخْتَلَى خَلاَهَا وَلاَ يُعْضَدُ شَجَرُهَا وَلاَ يُنَفَّرُ صَيْدُهَا وَلاَ تَحِلُّ لُقَطَتُهَا إِلاَّ لِمُنْشِدٍ فَقَامَ الْعَبَّاسُ وَكَانَ رَجُلاً مُجَرِّبًا فَقَالَ إِلاَّ الإِذْخِرَ فَإِنَّهُ لِبُيُوتِنَا وَقُبُورِنَا فَقَالَ إِلاَّ الإِذْخِرَ  

“I heard the Prophet ﷺ delivering a sermon in the Year of the Conquest (of Makkah), and he said: ‘O people, Allah made Makkah sacred the day He created the heavens and the earth, and it is sacred until the Day of Resurrection. Its trees are not to be cut, its game is not to be disturbed, and its lost property is not to be taken except by one who will announce it.’‘Abbas said: ‘Except for Idhkhir (a kind of fragrant grass), for it is (used) for houses and graves.’ The messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Except for Idhkhir.’”  

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ عَامَ الْفَتْحِ فَقَالَ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ حَرَّمَ مَكَّةَ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ فَهِيَ حَرَامٌ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ لاَ يُعْضَدُ شَجَرُهَا وَلاَ يُنَفَّرُ صَيْدُهَا وَلاَ يَأْخُذُ لُقَطَتَهَا إِلاَّ مُنْشِدٌ فَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ إِلاَّ الإِذْخِرَ فَإِنَّهُ لِلْبُيُوتِ وَالْقُبُورِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلاَّ الإِذْخِرَ  

Abu Hurairah said “When Allah, the Exalted, granted the conquest of Makkah to his Apostle, the Prophet ﷺ stood among them(the people) and praised Allaah and extolled Him. He then said, Verily Allaah stopped the Elephant from Makkah, and gave His Apostle and the believers sway upon it and it has been made lawful for me only for one hour on one day then it will remain sacred till the Day of Resurrection. Its trees are not to be cut, its game is not to be molested and the things dropped there are to be picked up only by one who publicly announces it. ‘Abbas or Al ‘Abbas suggested “Apostle of Allaah ﷺ except the rush(idhkir) for it is useful for our graves and our houses. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ said “Except the rush.” Abu Dawud said “Ibn Al Musaffa added on the authority of Al Walid Abu Shah a man from the people of the Yemen stood and said “Give me in writing, Apostle of Allaah ﷺ”. The Apostle of Allaah ﷺ said “Give in writing to Abu Shah. I said to Al Awza’i “What does the statement mean? Give Abu Shah in writing?” He said “This was an address which he heard from the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ.” (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2017)   

لَمَّا فَتَحَ اللهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ ﷺ مَكَّةَ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِيهِمْ فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ حَبَسَ عَنْ مَكَّةَ الْفِيلَ وَسَلَّطَ عَلَيْهَا رَسُولَهُ وَالْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَإِنَّمَا أُحِلَّتْ لِي سَاعَةً مِنَ النَّهَارِ ثُمَّ هِيَ حَرَامٌ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ لَا يُعْضَدُ شَجَرُهَا وَلَا يُنَفَّرُ صَيْدُهَا وَلَا تَحِلُّ لُقَطَتُهَا إِلَّا لِمُنْشِدٍ وَمَنْ قُتِلَ لَهُ قَتِيلٌ فَهُوَ بِخَيْرِ النَّظَرَيْنِ إِمَّا أَنْ يَفْدِيَ وَإِمَّا أَنْ يَقْتُلَ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو شَاهٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ اكْتُبُوا لِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ اكْتُبُوا لِأَبِي شَاةٍ فَقَامَ عَبَّاسٌ أَوْ قَالَ قَالَ عَبَّاسٌ يا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَّا الْإِذْخِرَ فَإِنَّهُ لِقُبُورِنَا وَبُيُوتِنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلَّا الْإِذْخِرَ  

[Machine] "It was the year when Mecca was conquered, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood and said, 'Indeed, Allah prevented the people of Mecca from the elephant, and He sent His Messenger ﷺ and the believers against them. Behold, Mecca was not made lawful for anyone before me, and it will not be made lawful for anyone after me. Indeed, this hour of mine is sacred, its sanctity is not to be violated, its trees should not be cut, and its fallen leaves should not be picked up, except by one who calls out (to inform people about the lost items)."  

أَنَّهُ عَامَ فُتِحَتْ مَكَّةُ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ حَبَسَ عَنْ مَكَّةَ الْفِيلَ وَسَلَّطَ عَلَيْهِمْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَالْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَلَا وَإِنَّهَا لَمْ تَحِلَّ لِأَحَدٍ قَبْلِي وَلَا تَحِلُّ لِأَحَدٍ بَعْدِي أَلَا وَإِنَّهَا سَاعَتِي هَذِهِ حَرَامٌ لَا يُخْتَلَى خَلَاهَا وَلَا يُعْضَدُ شَجَرُهَا وَلَا تُلْتَقَطُ سَاقِطَتُهَا إِلَّا لِمُنْشِدٍ»  

[Machine] When Allah, the Most High, opened Mecca for His Messenger ﷺ , these two men from the Banu Layth tribe killed a man with pre-Islamic blood-money rights. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was informed about it, so he stood up and said, "Verily, Allah, the Most High, has restricted the conquest of Mecca from the people and has bestowed it upon His Messenger and the believers. It is not permissible for anyone before me or after me. It was only made permissible for me for an hour during the day, and this hour has passed. Then, it is haram (forbidden), and its trees are not to be cut, its thorns are not to be broken, and its fallen branches are not to be picked up except by a reciter. And whoever is killed for it, he is the best of two options: either he is killed or he pays the blood money." Then, a man from Yemen known as Abu Shah stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah, write it for me." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Write it for Abu Shah." Then, Abbas stood up and said, "Except for the ithkur (a type of tree), for we make it in our graves and in our houses." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Except for the ithkur."  

لَمَّا فَتْحَ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا عَلَى رَسُولِهِ ﷺ مَكَّةَ قَتَلَتْ هُذَيْلُ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي لَيْثٍ بِقَتِيلٍ كَانَ لَهُمْ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَامَ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَلَّ وَعَلَا حَبَسَ الْفِيلَ عَنْ مَكَّةَ وَسَلَّطَ عَلَيْهَا رَسُولَهُ وَالْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَإِنَّهَا لَا تَحِلُّ لِأَحَدٍ كَانَ قَبْلِي وَلَا تَحِلُّ لِأَحَدٍ بَعْدِي وَإِنَّمَا أُحِلَّتْ لِي سَاعَةً مِنْ نَهَارٍ وَإِنَّهَا سَاعَتِي هَذِهِ ثُمَّ هِيَ حَرَامٌ لَا يُعْضَدُ شَجَرُهَا وَلَا يُخْتَلَى شَوْكُهَا وَلَا يُلْتَقَطُ سَاقِطُهَا إِلَّا لِمُنْشِدٍ وَمَنْ قُتِلَ لَهُ قَتِيلٌ فَهُوَ بِخَيْرِ النَّظَرَيْنِ إِمَّا أَنْ يَقْتُلَ وَإِمَّا أَنْ يَفْدِيَ» فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو شَاهٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اكْتُبُوا لِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «اكْتُبُوا لِأَبِي شَاهٍ» ثُمَّ قَامَ الْعَبَّاسُ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِلَّا الْإِذْخِرَ فَإِنَّا نَجْعَلُهُ فِي قُبُورِنَا وَفِي بُيُوتِنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِلَّا الْإِذْخِرَ»  

[Machine] "The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said on the day of Mecca's conquest, 'Indeed, Allah, may His remembrance be glorified, made Mecca sacred on the day He created the heavens and the earth. It is sacred by the sanctity of Allah until the Day of Judgment. Its game should not be disturbed, its trees should not be cut, its grass should not be uprooted, and its prey should not be chased except by a skilled poet.' So Al-Abbas ibn Abd al-Muttalib said, 'Except for the incense, O Messenger of Allah, the needs of the people and homes require it.' The Prophet ﷺ remained silent for a while and then said, 'Except for incense, for it is permissible.'"  

أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ «إِنَّ اللهَ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ حَرَّمَ مَكَّةَ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ فَهِيَ حَرَامٌ بِحَرَامِ اللهِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ لَا يُنَفَّرُ صَيْدُهَا وَلَا يُعْضَدُ شَجَرُهَا وَلَا يُخْتَلَى خَلَاهَا وَلَا يَحِلُّ لُقَطَتُهَا إِلَّا لِمُنْشِدٍ» فَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ إِلَّا الْإِذْخِرَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّهُ لَا بُدَّ لِلْقَيْنِ وَالْبُيُوتِ فَسَكَتَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ سَاعَةً فَقَالَ «إِلَّا الْإِذْخِرَ إِنَّهُ حَلَالٌ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, Allah has prohibited Mecca, and it is not permissible for anyone before me or after me. It was only made permissible for me for a period of time during the day that cannot be surpassed, its thorny bushes cannot be uprooted, its prey cannot be frightened away, and its lost items cannot be picked up except by someone who announces it." Abbas said, "O Messenger of Allah, except for the Izdir for our goldsmiths?" He said, "Except for the Izdir."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللهَ حَرَّمَ مَكَّةَ فَلَمْ تَحِلَّ لِأَحَدٍ كَانَ قَبْلِي وَلَا تَحِلُّ لِأَحَدٍ بَعْدِي وَإِنَّمَا أُحِلَّتْ لِيَ سَاعَةً مِنْ نَهَارٍ لَا يُخْتَلَى خَلَاهَا وَلَا يُعْضَدُ شَجَرُهَا وَلَا يُنَفَّرُ صَيْدُهَا وَلَا يُلْتَقَطُ لُقَطَتُهَا إِلَّا لِمُعَرِّفٍ» قَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِلَّا الْإِذْخِرَ لِصَاغَتِنَا قَالَ «إِلَّا الْإِذْخِرَ»

"This Makkah was made sacred by Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, the day He created the heavens and the Earth.

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said on the day of the conquest of Mecca, "Verily, this city is sacred. Allah has made it forbidden [to fight] and it was not permissible to kill anyone in it before me. However, it has been made permissible for me for only a short time. It is sacred as Allah has forbidden it until the Day of Resurrection. Its game is not to be scared away, its thorns are not to be cut, and its fallen things are not to be picked up except by the one who recognizes them. Its trees are not to be damaged except the Izdir tree, as it belongs to their homes." Then Al-Abbas said, "Except the Izdhar tree, as it belongs to their homes."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ إِنَّ هَذَا الْبَلَدَ حَرَامٌ حَرَّمَهُ اللهُ لَمْ يَحِلَّ فِيهِ الْقَتْلُ لِأَحَدٍ قَبْلِي وَإِنَّهَا أُحِلَّتْ لِي سَاعَةً فَهُوَ حَرَامٌ حَرَّمَهُ اللهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ لَا يُنَفَّرُ صَيْدُهُ وَلَا يُعْضَدُ شَوْكُهُ وَلَا يَلْتَقِطُ لُقَطَتَهُ إِلَّا مَنْ عَرَّفَهَا وَلَا يُخْتَلَى خَلَاهُ فَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ إِلَّا الْإِذْخِرَ؛ فَإِنَّهُ لِبُيُوتِهِمْ فَقَالَ إِلَّا الْإِذْخِرَ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ got up on the day of the Conquest of Mecca and said, "Allah has made Mecca a sanctuary since the day He created the Heavens and the Earth, and it will remain a sanctuary by virtue of the sanctity Allah has bestowed on it till the Day of Resurrection. It (i.e. fighting in it) was not made lawful to anyone before me!, nor will it be made lawful to anyone after me, and it was not made lawful for me except for a short period of time. Its game should not be chased, nor should its trees be cut, nor its vegetation or grass uprooted, not its Luqata (i.e. Most things) picked up except by one who makes a public announcement about it." Al-Abbas bin ʿAbdul Muttalib said, "Except the Idhkhir, O Messenger of Allah ﷺ, as it is indispensable for blacksmiths and houses." On that, the Prophet ﷺ kept quiet and then said, "Except the Idhkhir as it is lawful to cut." (Using translation from Bukhārī 4313)   

"إِنَّ الله حَرَّمَ مَكَّة يَوْمَ خلقَ السَّمَوَاتِ والأَرْضَ، فهِيَ حرَامٌ بحُرْمَةِ الله إِلى يَوْم الْقِيَامَة، لمْ تَحِلَّ لأحَدٍ قبْلي، ولا تَحلُّ لأَحدٍ بَعْدِى، ولمْ تَحِلَّ لي قطُّ إلا ساعةً مِنَ الدَّهْرِ، لا يُنَفَّرُ صَيدُها، وَلَا يُعْضدُ شوْكُها، وَلَا يُختَلى خَلَاهَا، وَلَا تَحلُّ لُقطتُها إلا لِمُنْشِد، فقال العبَّاسُ: إلا الإِذخِرَ يا رسولَ الله؛ فإِنَّهُ لا بُدَّ مِنْهُ لِلقَينِ والبيوتِ؟ قال: إلا الإِذخِرَ، فإِنَّهُ حَلَالٌ".  

"عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ : هَذِهِ حَرَامٌ -يَعْنِى مَكَّةَ- حَرَّمَهَا الله يَوْمَ خَلَقَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأرْضَ، وَوَضَعَ هَذَيْنِ الأخْشَبَيْنِ، لَمْ تَحِلَّ لأَحَدٍ قَبْلِى، وَلَا تَحِلَّ لأحَدٍ بَعْدِى، وَلَمْ تَحِلَّ لِى إِلَّا سَاعَةً مِنْ نَهَارٍ، لَا يُعْضَدُ شَوْكُهَا، وَلَا يُنْفَّرُ

صَيْدُهَا، وَلَا يُخْتَلَى خَلَاهَا، وَلَا تُرْفَعُ لُقَطَتُهَا إِلَّا لِمُنْشِدٍ، فَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ: يَا رَسُولَ الله، إِنَّ أَهْلَ مَكَّةَ لَا صَبْرَ لَهُمْ عَنِ الإِذْخِرِ لِقَيْنِهِمْ وَأَبْيَاتِهِمْ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ الله ﷺ : إِلَّا الإِذْخَر".  

"عَنْ مُجَاهِدٍ: أَنَّ النَّبِىَّ ﷺ قَدمَ يَوْمَ الْفَتْح وَالأَنْصَابُ بَيْنَ الرُّكْنِ وَالمقَامِ فَجَعَلَ يكفئها لوجوهها، ثُمَّ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَطِيبًا، فَقَالَ: أَلَا إِنَّ مَكَّةَ حَرَامٌ أَبَدًا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ لَا تَحِلُّ لأَحِدٍ قَبْلِى وَلَا تَحِلُّ لأَحَدٍ بَعْدِى، غَيْرَ أَنَّهَا أُحِلَّتْ لِى سَاعةً مِنَ النَّهَارِ، لَا يُخْتَلَى خَلَاهَا، وَلَا يُنَفَّر صَيْدُهَا، وَلَا يُعْضَد شَجَرُهَا، وَلَا يُلْتَقَط لُقَطَتُهَا إِلَّا أَنْ تعَرَّف، فَقَامُ الْعَبَّاسُ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِلَّا الإذخر لصاغتنا وَقُبُورِنَا وَبُيُوتِنَا، فَقَالَ: إِلَّا إلا دْخِرَ إِلَّا إِلا دْخِرَ".
