"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  

On the day of the conquest of Mecca, the Prophet ﷺ said, "There is no more emigration (from Mecca) but Jihad and intentions, and whenever you are called for Jihad, you should go immediately. No doubt, Allah has made this place (Mecca) a sanctuary since the creation of the heavens and the earth and will remain a sanctuary till the Day of Resurrection as Allah has ordained its sanctity. Fighting was not permissible in it for anyone before me, and even for me it was allowed only for a portion of a day. So, it is a sanctuary with Allah's sanctity till the Day of Resurrection. Its thorns should not be uprooted and its game should not be chased; and its luqata (fallen things) should not be picked up except by one who would announce that publicly, and its vegetation (grass etc.) should not be cut." Al-ʿAbbas said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Except Al-Idhkhir, (for it is used by their blacksmiths and for their domestic purposes)." So, the Prophet ﷺ said, "Except Al-Idhkhir."  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَوْمَ افْتَتَحَ مَكَّةَ لاَ هِجْرَةَ وَلَكِنْ جِهَادٌ وَنِيَّةٌ وَإِذَا اسْتُنْفِرْتُمْ فَانْفِرُوا فَإِنَّ هَذَا بَلَدٌ حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ وَهُوَ حَرَامٌ بِحُرْمَةِ اللَّهِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَحِلَّ الْقِتَالُ فِيهِ لأَحَدٍ قَبْلِي وَلَمْ يَحِلَّ لِي إِلاَّ سَاعَةً مِنْ نَهَارٍ فَهُوَ حَرَامٌ بِحُرْمَةِ اللَّهِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ لاَ يُعْضَدُ شَوْكُهُ وَلاَ يُنَفَّرُ صَيْدُهُ وَلاَ يَلْتَقِطُ لُقَطَتَهُ إِلاَّ مَنْ عَرَّفَهَا وَلاَ يُخْتَلَى خَلاَهَا قَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِلاَّ الإِذْخِرَ فَإِنَّهُ لِقَيْنِهِمْ وَلِبُيُوتِهِمْ قَالَ قَالَ إِلاَّ الإِذْخِرَ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said on the day of the conquest of Mecca, "There is no migration now, but there is Jihad (i.e.. holy battle) and good intentions. And when you are called for Jihad, you should come out at once" Messenger of Allah ﷺ also said, on the day of the conquest of Mecca, "Allah has made this town a sanctuary since the day He created the Heavens and the Earth. So, it is a sanctuary by Allah's Decree till the Day of Resurrection. Fighting in it was not legal for anyone before me, and it was made legal for me only for an hour by daytime. So, it (i.e. Mecca) is a sanctuary by Allah's Decree till the Day of Resurrection. Its thorny bushes should not be cut, and its game should not be chased, its fallen property (i.e. Luqata) should not be picked up except by one who will announce it publicly; and its grass should not be uprooted," On that Al-ʿAbbas said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Except the Idhkhir, because it is used by the goldsmiths and by the people for their houses." On that the Prophet ﷺ said, "Except the Idhkhir."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ لاَ هِجْرَةَ وَلَكِنْ جِهَادٌ وَنِيَّةٌ وَإِذَا اسْتُنْفِرْتُمْ فَانْفِرُوا وَقَالَ يَوْمَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ إِنَّ هَذَا الْبَلَدَ حَرَّمَهُ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ فَهْوَ حَرَامٌ بِحُرْمَةِ اللَّهِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَحِلَّ الْقِتَالُ فِيهِ لأَحَدٍ قَبْلِي وَلَمْ يَحِلَّ لِي إِلاَّ سَاعَةً مِنْ نَهَارٍ فَهْوَ حَرَامٌ بِحُرْمَةِ اللَّهِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ لاَ يُعْضَدُ شَوْكُهُ وَلاَ يُنَفَّرُ صَيْدُهُ وَلاَ يَلْتَقِطُ لُقَطَتَهُ إِلاَّ مَنْ عَرَّفَهَا وَلاَ يُخْتَلَى خَلاَهُ فَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِلاَّ الإِذْخِرَ فَإِنَّهُ لِقَيْنِهِمْ وَلِبُيُوتِهِمْ قَالَ إِلاَّ الإِذْخِرَ  

There is no Hijra (emigration) but only Jihad and good intention; and when you are called to battle, then go forth. He also said on the Day of Victory over Mecca: Allah made this town sacred on the day He created the earth and the heavens; so it is -sacred by the sacred- ness conferred on it by Allah until the Day of Resurrection and fighting in it was not lawful to anyone before me, and it was made lawful for me only during an hour on one day, for it is sacred by the sacredness conferred on it by Allah until the Day of Resurrection. Its thorns are not to be cut, its game is not to be molested, and the things dropped are to be picked up only by one who makes a public announcement of it, and its fresh herbage is not to be cut. Abbas (Allah be pleased with him) said: Messenger of Allah, exception may be made in case of rush, for it is useful for their blacksmiths and for their houses. He (the Holy Prophet) conceding the suggestion of 'Abbas) said: Except rush.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ لاَ هِجْرَةَ وَلَكِنْ جِهَادٌ وَنِيَّةٌ وَإِذَا اسْتُنْفِرْتُمْ فَانْفِرُوا وَقَالَ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ إِنَّ هَذَا الْبَلَدَ حَرَّمَهُ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ فَهُوَ حَرَامٌ بِحُرْمَةِ اللَّهِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَحِلَّ الْقِتَالُ فِيهِ لأَحَدٍ قَبْلِي وَلَمْ يَحِلَّ لِي إِلاَّ سَاعَةً مِنْ نَهَارٍ فَهُوَ حَرَامٌ بِحُرْمَةِ اللَّهِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ لاَ يُعْضَدُ شَوْكُهُ وَلاَ يُنَفَّرُ صَيْدُهُ وَلاَ يَلْتَقِطُ إِلاَّ مَنْ عَرَّفَهَا وَلاَ يُخْتَلَى خَلاَهَا فَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِلاَّ الإِذْخِرَ فَإِنَّهُ لِقَيْنِهِمْ وَلِبُيُوتِهِمْ فَقَالَ إِلاَّ الإِذْخِرَ  

"The Messenger of Allah said on the day of the conquest: 'Allah made this land sacred the day He created the Heavens and the Earth, so it is sacred by the Decree of Allah until the day of Resurrection. Its thorny shrubs are not to be cut, or its game disturbed, or its lost property to be picked up, except by the one who will announce it publicly, or is its green grass to be uprooted or cut.' Al-Abbas said: O Messenger of Allah! Except Ikhkhir.'" And he said something that meant: "Except Ikhkhir."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ هَذَا الْبَلَدُ حَرَّمَهُ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ فَهُوَ حَرَامٌ بِحُرْمَةِ اللَّهِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ لاَ يُعْضَدُ شَوْكُهُ وَلاَ يُنَفَّرُ صَيْدُهُ وَلاَ يَلْتَقِطُ لُقَطَتَهُ إِلاَّ مَنْ عَرَّفَهَا وَلاَ يُخْتَلَى خَلاَهُ قَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِلاَّ الإِذْخِرَ فَذَكَرَ كَلِمَةً مَعْنَاهَا إِلاَّ الإِذْخِرَ  

"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  

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.”  

لَمَّا فَتَحَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَكَّةَ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِيهِمْ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ حَبَسَ عَنْ مَكَّةَ الْفِيلَ وَسَلَّطَ عَلَيْهَا رَسُولَهُ وَالْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَإِنَّمَا أُحِلَّتْ لِي سَاعَةً مِنَ النَّهَارِ ثُمَّ هِيَ حَرَامٌ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ لاَ يُعْضَدُ شَجَرُهَا وَلاَ يُنَفَّرُ صَيْدُهَا وَلاَ تَحِلُّ لُقَطَتُهَا إِلاَّ لِمُنْشِدٍ فَقَامَ عَبَّاسٌ أَوْ قَالَ قَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِلاَّ الإِذْخِرَ فَإِنَّهُ لِقُبُورِنَا وَبُيُوتِنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِلاَّ الإِذْخِرَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said on the day of the Conquest of Mecca: "Indeed, this city is sacred, which Allah made sacred on the day He created the heavens and the earth. It is prohibited and forbidden by Allah until the Day of Resurrection. No one is allowed to shed blood in it except for me, and it is not permissible for anyone after me until the Hour is established. And the only time it is permissible for me is an hour during the day. It is prohibited and forbidden by Allah Almighty until the Hour is established. Its thorns should not be uprooted, its grass should not be uprooted, its game should not be disturbed, and its prey should not be taken except by someone who is noble. Abbas, who was from the people of Mecca, said: "Messenger of Allah, they have a need for it, for it is theirs (their provision) for both graves and homes." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Except for the izhar."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ إِنَّ هَذَا الْبَلَدَ حَرَامٌ حَرَّمَهُ اللهُ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ فَهُوَ حَرَامٌ حَرَّمَهُ اللهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ مَا أُحِلَّ لِأَحَدٍ فِيهِ الْقَتْلُ غَيْرِي وَلا يَحِلُّ لِأَحَدٍ بَعْدِي فِيهِ حَتَّى تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ وَمَا أُحِلَّ لِي فِيهِ إِلا سَاعَةٌ مِنَ النَّهَارِ فَهُوَ حَرَامٌ حَرَّمَهُ اللهُ ﷻ إِلَى أَنْ تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ وَلا يُعْضَدُ شَوْكُهُ وَلا يُخْتَلَى خَلاهُ وَلا يُنَفَّرُ صَيْدُهُ وَلا تُلْتَقَطُ لُقَطَتُهُ إِلا لِمُعَرِّفٍ قَالَ فَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَلَدِ قَدْ عَلِمَ الَّذِي لَا بُدَّ لَهُمْ مِنْهُ إِلا الْإِذْخِرَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا بُدَّ لَهُمْ مِنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ لِلقُبُورِ وَالْبُيُوتِ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِلا الْإِذْخِرَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said on the day of the conquest of Mecca, "Indeed, this city is sacred. Allah has forbidden violence within it before my arrival, and for me, it is permissible for a brief period. It remains forbidden by Allah's prohibition until the Day of Judgment. Its game cannot be driven away, its thorns cannot be removed, and its prey cannot be caught except by the one who identifies it. No one should be expelled from it. Abbas said, 'O Messenger of Allah, except for the wild donkey, for it belongs to their houses and they look after it.' The Prophet replied, 'Except for the wild donkey. There is no migration, only jihad and intention. So when you are called, respond.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ إِنَّ هَذَا الْبَلَدَ حَرَامٌ حَرَّمَهُ اللهُ لَمْ يَحِلَّ فِيهِ الْقَتْلُ لِأَحَدٍ قَبْلِي وَأُحِلَّ لِي سَاعَةً فَهُوَ حَرَامٌ بِحُرْمَةِ اللهِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ لَا يُنَفَّرُ صَيْدُهُ وَلا يُعْضَدُ شَوْكُهُوَلا تُلْتَقَطُ لُقَطَتُهُ إِلا مَنْ عَرَّفَهَا وَلا يُخْتَلَى خَلاهُ فَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِلا الْإِذْخِرَ فَإِنَّهُ لِبُيُوتِهِمْ وَلِقَيْنِهِمْ فَقَالَ إِلا الْإِذْخِرَ وَلا هِجْرَةَ وَلَكِنْ جِهَادٌ وَنِيَّةٌ وَإِذَا اسْتُنْفِرْتُمْ فَانْفِرُوا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allahﷺ said on the day of the conquest of Mecca: "Verily, this city is sacred, which Allah has made forbidden until the Day of Resurrection. Its game should not be frightened off, its thorny plants should not be uprooted, and its fallen objects should not be picked up except by the one who recognizes them. And its dwellers should not be expelled except for those who commit crimes." Al-Abbas said, "Except for the idhkhir (a type of plant) for it is used in our houses." So the Messenger of Allahﷺ said: "Except for the idhkhir and no migration (is allowed), but (there should be) jihad and intention. And when you are called for war, go forth."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ «إِنَّ هَذَا الْبَلَدَ حَرَامٌ حَرَّمَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ لَا يُنَفَّرُ صَيْدُهُ وَلَا يُعْضَدُ شَوْكَهُ وَلَا تُلْتَقَطُ لُقَطَتَهُ إِلَّا مَنْ عَرَّفَهَا وَلَا يُخْتَلَى خَلَاؤُهُ» فَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ إِلَّا الْإِذْخِرَ فَإِنَّهُ لِبُيُوتِهِمْ فَقَالَ «إِلَّا الْإِذْخِرَ وَلَا هِجْرَةَ وَلَكِنْ جِهَادٌ وَنِيَّةٌ وَإِذَا اسْتُنْفِرْتُمْ فَانْفِرُوا»

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said on the day of the conquest of Mecca, "There is no migration now, but there is Jihad (i.e.. holy battle) and good intentions.

So, it is a sanctuary by Allah's Decree till the Day of Resurrection. Fighting in it was not legal for anyone before me, and it was made legal for me only for an hour by daytime. So, it (i.e. Mecca) is a sanctuary by Allah's Decree till the Day of Resurrection. Its thorny bushes should not be cut, and its game should not be chased, its fallen property (i.e. Luqata) should not be picked up except by one who will announce it publicly; and its grass should not be uprooted," On that Al-ʿAbbas said, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! Except the Idhkhir, because it is used by the goldsmiths and by the people for their houses." On that the Prophet ﷺ said, "Except the Idhkhir." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3189)   

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ لَا هِجْرَةَ وَلَكِنْ جِهَادٌ وَنِيَّةٌ فَإِذَا اسْتُنْفِرْتُمْ فَانْفِرُوا وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ الْفَتْحِ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ إِنَّ هَذَا الْبَلَدَ حَرَّمَهُ اللهُ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ فَهُوَ حَرَامٌ بِحُرْمَةِ اللهِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ لَا يُخْتَلَى خَلَاهَا وَلَا يُعْضَدُ شَوْكُهَا وَلَا يُنَفَّرُ صَيْدُهَا وَلَا يَلْتَقِطُ لُقَطَتَهَا إِلَّا مَنْ عَرَّفْهَا فَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ ؓ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِلَّا الْإِذْخَرَ فَإِنَّهُ لِقَيْنِهِمْ وَلِبُيُوتِهِمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ 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".  

"لا هِجْرَةَ وَلَكِنْ جِهَادٌ وَنِيَّة، وإذا اسْتُنْفِرْتُم فَانْفِرُوا، فَإِنَّ هذا بلد حرَّمه اللهُ يومَ خَلَق السمواتِ والأَرْضَ، وهو حرامٌ بحرمةِ الله إلَى يومِ القِيَامةِ، وَإِنَّه لا يَحِلُّ القتَالُ فيه لأَحدٍ قَبْلي، ولَمْ يحلَّ لي إلا سَاعةً من نَهَار، فهو حرامٌ بحرمةِ اللهِ إلى يوم القِيَامَةِ، لا يُعْضَد شَوْكُه ولا يُنَفَّر صيدُه، ولا تُلْتقط لُقَطَتُه إِلا من عَرَّفَهَا، ولا يُختَلى خَلَاها. قال العَبَّاسُ: يا رسولَ الله: إلا الإذخر فإنَّه لِقَينهم وبُيُوتِهم، قال: إلا الإذْخر".
