عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فِي فَضْلِ مَكَّةَ إِنَّ هَذَا الْبَلَدَ حَرَامٌ فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ وَفِيهِ وَلَا يُنَفَّرُ صَيْدُهُ وَلَا تُلْتَقَطُ لُقَطَتُهُ إِلَّا لِمُعَرِّفٍ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) on the subject of the virtues of Makkah that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This city is sacred. Then the narrator related the entire hadith, and among its words were: Its game should not be disturbed, nor should its lost property be picked up, except by one who will announce it.
