[Machine] Sa'd went to his palace in Al-Aqiq and found a slave cutting a tree, so he took it from him. When he returned, the slave's people came to him and asked him to return what he took from their slave. He said, "I seek refuge in Allah from returning anything that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ left me as a charity, so he did not return anything to them." And Abu Abdullah informed us, and Abu Al-Fadl bin Ibrahim informed us, and Ahmad bin Salamah informed us, and Ishaq bin Ibrahim and Haroon bin Abdullah informed us, from Abu 'Aamir Al-'Aqadi, from Abdullah bin Ja'far, from the lineage of Al-Miswar bin Makhrama. He mentioned it in a similar manner except that he said, "He found a boy cutting or hitting a tree, so he took him and refused to return anything to them."  

أَنَّ سَعْدًا ؓ رَكِبَ إِلَى قَصْرِهِ بِالْعَقِيقِ فَوَجَدَ عَبْدًا يَقْطَعُ شَجَرًا فَاسْتَلَبَهُ فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ جَاءَهُ أَهْلُ الْعَبْدِ يَسْأَلُونَهُ أَنْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ مَا أَخَذَ مِنْ عَبْدِهِمْ قَالَ مَعَاذَ اللهِ أَنْ أَرُدَّ شَيْئًا نَفَلَنِيهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَلَمْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ شَيْئًا 9973 وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ أنا أَبُو الْفَضْلِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ثنا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ثنا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَهَارُونُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ عَنْ أَبِي عَامِرٍ الْعَقَدِيِّ ثنا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ مِنْ وَلَدِ الْمِسْوَرِ بْنِ مَخْرَمَةَ فَذَكَرَهُ بِنَحْوِهِ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ فَوَجَدَ غُلَامًا يَقْطَعُ شَجَرًا أَوْ يَخْبِطُهُ فَسَلَبَهُ وَقَالَ فِي آخِرِهِ وَأَبَى أَنْ يَرُدَّ عَلَيْهِمْ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever takes something from the trees of the sacred land of Al-Madinah, which means the trees of the Haram, then you have confiscated it. Its trees cannot be supported or cut down." Sa'd saw some young men cutting, so he took their belongings and went to their guardians to inform them that Sa'd did such and such. They came to him and said, "O Abu Ishaq, our youngsters have taken our belongings." He said, "No, I took them. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Whoever takes something from the trees of the Haram, then you have confiscated it. But ask me for whatever share you want from my property.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ أَخَذْتُمُوهُ يَقْطَعُ مِنَ الشَّجَرِ شَيْئًا يَعْنِي شَجَرَ حَرَمِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَلَكُمْ سَلَبُهُ لَا يُعْضَدُ شَجَرُهَا وَلَا يُقْطَعُ قَالَ فَرَأَى سَعْدٌ غِلْمَانًا يَقْطَعُونَ فَأَخَذَ مَتَاعَهُمْ فَانْتَهُوا إِلَى مَوَالِيهِمْ فَأَخْبَرُوهُمْ أَنَّ سَعْدًا ؓ فَعَلَ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَأَتَوْهُ فَقَالُوا يَا أَبَا إِسْحَاقَ إِنَّ غِلْمَانَكَ أَوْ مَوَالِيَكَ أَخَذُوا مَتَاعَ غِلْمَانِنَا قَالَ بَلْ أَنَا أَخَذْتُهُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ أَخَذْتُمُوهُ يَقْطَعُ مِنْ شَجَرِ الْحَرَمِ فَلَكُمْ سَلَبُهُ وَلَكِنْ سَلُونِي مِنْ مَالِي مَا شِئْتُمْ  

[Machine] He used to exit the city and find firewood along with him a wet tree that he supported from some of the trees of the city, so he takes it as his booty and speaks about it, saying, "I do not leave behind a booty that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has taken from me." He said, "And indeed, I am among the people who have the most wealth. My father is Is-haq ibn Al-Harith Al-Qurashi."  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَيَجِدُ الْحَاطِبَ مَعَهُ شَجَرٌ رَطْبٌ قَدْ عَضَدَهُ مِنْ بَعْضِ شَجَرِ الْمَدِينَةِ فَيَأْخُذُ سَلَبَهُ فَيُكَلَّمُ فِيهِ فَيَقُولُ لَا أَدَعُ غَنِيمَةً غَنَّمَنِيهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ وَإِنِّي لَمِنْ أَكْثَرِ النَّاسِ مَالًا أَبُوهُ إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ الْقُرَشِيُّ  

Sulayman ibn AbuAbdullah said: I saw Sa'd ibn AbuWaqqas seized a man hunting in the sacred territory of Medina which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had declared to be sacred. He took away his clothes from him. His patrons came to him and spoke to him about it, but he replied: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ declared this territory to be sacred, saying: If anyone catches someone hunting in it he should take away from him his clothes. So I shall not return to you a provision which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ has given me, but if you wish I shall pay you its price. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2037)   

رَأَيْتُ سَعْدَ بْنِ أَبِي وَقَّاصٍ أَخَذَ رَجُلًا يَصِيدُ فِي حَرَمِ الْمَدِينَةِ الَّذِي حَرَّمَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَلَبَهُ ثِيَابَهُ فَجَاءُوا مَوَالِيهِ فَكَلَّمُوهُ فِيهِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ حَرَّمَ هَذَا الْحَرَمَ وَقَالَ مَنْ أَخَذَ أَحَدًا يَصِيدُ فِيهِ فَلْيَسْلُبْهُ فَلَا أَرُدُّ عَلَيْكُمْ طُعْمَةً أَطْعَمَنِيهَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَلَكِنْ إِنْ شِئْتُمْ دَفَعْتُ إِلَيْكُمْ ثَمَنَهُ
