ذِكْرُ الزَّجْرِ عَنِ الِاصْطِيَادِ بَيْنَ لَابَتَيِ الْمَدِينَةِ إِذِ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا حَرَّمَهَا عَلَى لِسَانِ رَسُولِهِ ﷺ

If I saw deers grazing in Medina, I would not chase them, for Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "(Medina) is a sanctuary between its two mountains." (Using translation from Bukhārī 1873)  

ابن حبّان:٣٧٥١أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ لَوْ رَأَيْتُ الظِّبَاءَ تَرْتَعُ بِالْمَدِينَةَ مَا ذَعَرْتُهَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا بَيْنَ لَابَتَيْهَا حَرَامٌ»
