Sunan Ibn Majah 3109

Allah's Messenger (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 `Abdul Muttalib said, "Except the Idhkhir, O Allah's Messenger (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."

"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."

"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."

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, made Makkah a sanctuary. It was not permitted for anyone before me (to fight therein) and it will not be permissible for anyone after me (to do so). Rather (fighting therein) was only permitted for part of a day. Its green grass is not to be cut, its trees are not to be chopped down, its game is not to be disturbed and its lost property is not to be picked up except by the one who announces it." al-'Abbas said: Except idhkhir (a kind of grass), for it is used by our blacksmiths and in our graves. He said: " Except idhkhir.”

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said on the day of the conquest of Makkah: "This land is sacred, for Allah has made it sacred. Fighting therein was not permitted to anyone before me, and it was permitted to me for a short while. It is sacred by the decree of Allah until the Day of Resurrection. Its game is not to be disturbed, its thorns are not to be cut, its lost property is not to be picked up except by one who will announce it, and its grasses are not to be cut." Al-'Abbas said. O Messenger of Allah, except idhkhir (a kind of grass), for it is used for their houses and by their blacksmiths. He said: “Except idhkhir. And there is no more migration (hijrah), but there is jihad and intention, and if you are asked to mobilise, then mobilise."

The Prophet (ﷺ) said on the day of the conquest (of Makkah): “Its grasses are not to be cut and its game is not to be disturbed; its thorns are not to be cut; and its lost property is not permissible except for one who will announce it.” Al-'Abbas said: Except idhkhir, O Messenger of Allah. He said: “Except idhkhir, for it is permissible.”
