"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  

"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] "That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Verily, Allah has forbidden Makkah to all before me and to all after me. It has been made lawful only for me for an hour of the day that is not followed by anything else. Its vegetation may not be uprooted, its trees may not be cut, its game may not be scared away, and its fallen animals may not be picked up except by a man who makes a public announcement about it. Al-Abbas said: Except for the ithkhir, for our blacksmiths' shop and our graves."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ حَرَّمَ مَكَّةَ فَلَمْ تَحِلَّ لِأَحَدٍ كَانَ قَبْلِي وَلا تَحِلُّ لِأَحَدٍ بَعْدِي وَإِنَّمَا أُحِلَّتْ لِي سَاعَةً مِنْ نَهَارٍ لَا يُخْتَلَى خَلاهَا وَلا يُعْضَدُ شَجَرُهَا وَلا يُنَفَّرُصَيْدُهَا وَلا تُلْتَقَطُ لُقَطَتُهَا إِلا لِمُعَرِّفٍ فَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ إِلا الْإِذْخِرَ لِصَاغَتِنَا وَقُبُورِنَا قَالَ إِلا الْإِذْخِرَ  

[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»  

"إِنَّ الله ﷻ حَبَس عَن مَكَّةَ الْفِيلَ، وَسَلَّطَ عَليهَا رَسُولَ الله والمؤمنين، ألَا فإنَّهَا لَا تَحِلُّ لأحد قبْلِى وَلَا تَحِلُّ لأَحد بعدى، أَلَا وإنَّهَا حَلَّتْ لي سَاعَةً مِن نَهَار، أَلَا وَإنَّهَا سَاعَتِى هَذ حَرَامٌ لَا يُخْتَلى شَوْكُهَا، ولا يُعْضَدُ شَجَرُهَا، ولَا تُلتَقَطُ سَاقطتها إِلا لِمُنْشِدٍ؛ وَمَن قُتِلَ له قَتِيلٌ فَهُوَ بخَير النَّظَرَين: إِمَّا أن يُعْقَلَ وَإمَّا أنْ يُقادَ أَهْلُ القتيل فقال رجلٌ: يا رَسُولَ الله إلا الإِذخِرَ ، فقال: إلا ذُحِرَ".  

"أُحِلَّت لى مكَّةُ ساعةً من نهارٍ، ولا تحلُّ لأحدٍ من بعدى، وهى حرامٌ بحرمة الله إلى يوم القيامة، لا يُعضدُ شجرُها، ولا يُخْتلى خَلَاهَا، ولا ينفَّرُ صيدُها، ولا تُلْتَقَط لقَطَتُها إلا لمُنشِدٍ، قالوا: إلا الإِذخِر ؟ قال: إلا الإذخِر" .  

"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".
