عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَابِطٍ، عَنْ عَيَّاشِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ”لَا تَزَالُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةُ بِخَيْرٍ مَا عَظَّمُوا هَذِهِ الْحُرْمَةَ حَقَّ تَعْظِيمِهَا، فَإِذَا تَرَكُوهَا وَضَيَّعُوهَا هَلَكُوا.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna ‘Ayyash bin Abi Rabi‘ah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This Ummah will remain in goodness and safety as long as it honors the sanctity of Makkah, and when it abandons and neglects this sanctity, it will itself be destroyed.
