حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ ثَنَا يَحْيَى عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ أَبِي وَأَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَرْبٌ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ الْمَعْنَى قَالَ لَمَّا فَتَحَ اللَّهُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَكَّةَ قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ 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 لَا يُعْضَدُ شَجَرُهَا وَلَا يُنَفَّرُ صَيْدُهَا وَلَا تَحِلُّ لُقْطَتُهَا إِلَّا لِمُنْشِدٍ وَمَنْ قُتِلَ لَهُ قَتِيلٌ فَهُوَ بِخَيْرِ النَّظَرَيْنِ إِمَّا أَنْ يَفْدِيَ وَإِمَّا أَنْ يَقْتُلَ“ فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ يُقَالُ لَهُ أَبُو شَاهٍ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اكْتُبُوا لِي فَقَالَ ”اكْتُبُوا لَهُ“ فَقَالَ عَمُّ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِلَّا الْإِذْخِرَ فَإِنَّهُ لِقُبُورِنَا وَبُيُوتِنَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”إِلَّا الْإِذْخِرَ“ فَقُلْتُ لِلْأَوْزَاعِيِّ وَمَا قَوْلُهُ اكْتُبُوا لِأَبِي شَاهٍ وَمَا يَكْتُبُونَ لَهُ قَالَ يَقُولُ اكْتُبُوا لَهُ خُطْبَتَهُ الَّتِي سَمِعَهَا قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ لَيْسَ يُرْوَى فِي كِتَابَةِ الْحَدِيثِ شَيْءٌ أَصَحُّ مِنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ لِأَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَمَرَهُمْ قَالَ ”اكْتُبُوا لِأَبِي شَاهٍ“ مَا سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ خُطْبَتَهُ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Allah Almighty granted victory over Makkah to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up and praised and glorified Allah Almighty, and then said: Allah Almighty had prevented the elephants from entering Makkah, and Allah has granted His Messenger and the believers authority over Makkah. For me, fighting in this city was permitted for a part of the day, but now it is a sanctuary (haram) until the Day of Resurrection. Its trees are not to be cut, its game is not to be frightened, and it is not permissible to pick up a lost item found here, except for one who will announce it. And if someone is killed here, his heir has the choice of one of two things: either to accept blood money or to have the killer executed.
A Yemeni man named Abu Shah stood up and said: O Messenger of Allah! Have these rulings written down for me. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Write it for Abu Shah.
Then your (peace and blessings be upon him) uncle, Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), requested permission to cut the idhkhir grass within the boundaries of the Haram, because it is commonly used for graves and houses. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Permission is granted to cut idhkhir.
Walid, the narrator, says: I asked Awza'i, what is meant by the statement of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), "Write it for Abu Shah"? What did the Companions write for him? He said: The purpose was that the sermon which this man had heard should be written for him. Abu Abdur Rahman said: There is no hadith more authentic than this regarding the permissibility of writing hadith, because the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that his sermon be written for Abu Shah.

Hadith 12589
عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ ”إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ حَرَّمَ مَكَّةَ فَلَمْ تَحِلَّ لِأَحَدٍ كَانَ قَبْلِي وَلَا تَحِلُّ لِأَحَدٍ بَعْدِي وَإِنَّمَا أُحِلَّتْ لِي سَاعَةً مِنْ نَهَارٍ لَا يُخْتَلَى خَلَاهَا وَلَا يُعْضَدُ شَجَرُهَا وَلَا يُنَفَّرُ صَيْدُهَا وَلَا تُلْتَقَطُ لُقَطَتُهَا إِلَّا لِمُعَرِّفٍ“ فَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ إِلَّا الْإِذْخِرَ لِصَاغَتِنَا وَقُبُورِنَا قَالَ ”إِلَّا الْإِذْخِرَ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty has declared Makkah Mukarramah as a sanctuary; before me and after me, no one has been permitted to fight within its boundaries. I was granted permission to fight there for only a part of a day. Its grass should not be cut, its trees should not be cut, its game should not be frightened, and except for the one who announces it, no one else should pick up anything found there. Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Allow the use of the idhkhir grass, because goldsmiths use it and it is also used in graves. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Permission is granted for idhkhir.
Hadith 12590
وَعَنْهُ مِنْ طَرِيقٍ آخَرَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ فَتْحِ مَكَّةَ ”إِنَّ هَذَا الْبَلَدَ حَرَامٌ حَرَّمَهُ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ خَلَقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ فَهُوَ حَرَامٌ حَرَّمَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ مَا أُحِلَّ لِأَحَدٍ فِيهِ الْقَتْلُ غَيْرِي وَلَا يَحِلُّ لِأَحَدٍ بَعْدِي فِيهِ حَتَّى تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ وَمَا أُحِلَّ لِي فِيهِ إِلَّا سَاعَةً مِنَ النَّهَارِ فَهُوَ حَرَامٌ حَرَّمَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ إِلَى أَنْ تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ وَلَا يُعْضَدُ شَوْكُهُ وَلَا يُخْتَلَى خَلَاهُ وَلَا يُنَفَّرُ صَيْدُهُ وَلَا تُلْتَقَطُ لُقَطَتُهُ إِلَّا لِمُعَرِّفٍ“ قَالَ فَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ وَكَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَلَدِ قَدْ عَلِمَ الَّذِي لَا بُدَّ لَهُمْ مِنْهُ إِلَّا الْإِذْخِرَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا بُدَّ لَهُمْ مِنْهُ فَإِنَّهُ لِلْقُبُورِ وَالْبُيُوتِ قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”إِلَّا الْإِذْخِرَ“ زَادَ فِي رِوَايَةٍ فَإِنَّهُ لِبُيُوتِهِمْ وَلِقَيْنِهِمْ فَقَالَ ”إِلَّا الْإِذْخِرَ وَلَا هِجْرَةَ وَلَكِنْ جِهَادٌ وَنِيَّةٌ وَإِذَا اسْتُنْفِرْتُمْ فَانْفِرُوا“
(Second chain) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said on the day of the conquest of Makkah: This city is sacred; Allah Almighty declared it sacred on the very day He created the heavens and the earth. It will remain a sanctuary until the Day of Resurrection. For everyone before me and after me, until the Day of Resurrection, it is now sacred. Allah Almighty has declared it a sanctuary until the Day of Resurrection. Its thorns are not to be cut, its grass is not to be uprooted, its game is not to be frightened, and nothing fallen here is to be picked up, except by one who intends to announce it. Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), who was a resident of Makkah and was aware of the needs of its people, said: O Messenger of Allah! Grant permission for the cutting of the Idhkhir grass, as it is a necessity for graves and houses. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, permission is granted to cut Idhkhir grass. In another narration, Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: This Idhkhir is needed for people’s houses, and blacksmiths and goldsmiths use it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Permission is granted to cut Idhkhir. He also said: Now migration from Makkah is no longer possible, but the intention for jihad and migration remains; whenever there is a need, we will set out for migration or jihad, and when you are called upon to go out for jihad, then rise up.
Hadith 12591
عَنْ أَبِي شُرَيْحٍ الْعَدَوِيِّ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِعَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ وَهُوَ يَبْعَثُ الْبُعُوثَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ: ائْذَنْ لِي أَيُّهَا الْأَمِيرُ! أُحَدِّثْكَ قَوْلًا قَامَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْغَدَ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْفَتْحِ، سَمِعَتْهُ أُذُنَايَ، وَوَعَاهُ قَلْبِي، وَأَبْصَرَتْهُ عَيْنَايَ حَيْثُ تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ، أَنَّهُ حَمِدَ اللَّهَ، وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: ”إِنَّ مَكَّةَ حَرَّمَهَا اللَّهُ، وَلَمْ يُحَرِّمْهَا النَّاسُ، فَلَا يَحِلُّ لِامْرِئٍ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ أَنْ يَسْفِكَ فِيهَا دَمًا، وَلَا يَعْضِدَ فِيهَا شَجَرَةً، فَإِنْ أَحَدٌ تَرَخَّصَ بِقِتَالِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِيهَا، فَقُولُوا إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ أَذِنَ لِرَسُولِهِ، وَلَمْ يَأْذَنْ لَكُمْ، وَإِنَّمَا أَذِنَ لِي فِيهَا سَاعَةً مِنْ نَهَارٍ، وَقَدْ عَادَتْ حُرْمَتُهَا الْيَوْمَ كَحُرْمَتِهَا بِالْأَمْسِ، فَلْيُبَلِّغِ الشَّاهِدُ الْغَائِبَ.“
It is narrated from Saeed Maqbari that when Amr bin Saeed was sending his army towards Makkah Mukarramah for battle, Abu Shurayh Adawi said to him: O Amir! I will tell you something that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said the day after the conquest of Makkah. My ears heard this, my heart remembered it, and my eyes saw it, where the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) spoke. First, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) praised and glorified Allah Almighty, and then said: Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, it is not permissible for him to shed blood in this city or to cut its trees. If anyone uses the fighting of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) as a basis to justify fighting in Makkah, then tell him that Allah Almighty gave His Messenger permission to fight in Makkah, but He did not give you this permission, and even for me, it was allowed only for a part of the day, that is, for a short while. Today, its sanctity is restored just as it was yesterday. Those who are present should convey these words to those who are not present.
Hadith 12592
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُطِيعِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ، أَخِي بَنِي عَدِيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ مُطِيعٍ، وَكَانَ اسْمُهُ الْعَاصِ فَسَمَّاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُطِيعًا، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حِينَ أَمَرَ بِقَتْلِ هَؤُلَاءِ الرَّهْطِ بِمَكَّةَ، يَقُولُ: ”لَا تُغْزَى مَكَّةُ بَعْدَ هَذَا الْعَامِ أَبَدًا، وَلَا يُقْتَلُ قُرَشِيٌّ بَعْدَ هَذَا الْعَامِ صَبْرًا أَبَدًا.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Muti’ that when the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, ordered the killing of certain individuals from a group in Mecca, he said: After today, there will be no military expedition against Mecca, and after today, no Qurayshi will be bound and killed.
Hadith 12593
عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو قَالَ: أَتَى عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ابْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ، وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ فِي الْحِجْرِ، فَقَالَ: يَا ابْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ! إِيَّاكَ وَالْإِلْحَادَ فِي حَرَمِ اللَّهِ، فَإِنِّي أَشْهَدُ لَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ”يُحِلُّهَا، وَيَحُلُّ بِهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ، لَوْ وُزِنَتْ ذُنُوبُهُ بِذُنُوبِ الثَّقَلَيْنِ لَوَزَنَتْهَا.“ قَالَ: فَانْظُرْ أَنْ لَا تَكُونَ هُوَ يَا ابْنَ عَمْرٍو، فَإِنَّكَ قَدْ قَرَأْتَ الْكُتُبَ وَصَحِبْتَ الرَّسُولَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: فَإِنِّي أُشْهِدُكَ أَنَّ هَذَا وَجْهِي إِلَى الشَّامِ مُجَاهِدًا.
It is narrated from Saeed bin Amr that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was sitting in Hatim. He said: O Ibn Zubair! Beware of bloodshed in the sanctuary of Allah. I bear witness that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: A man from the Quraysh will violate the sanctity of Makkah, and his sins will be so great that if they are compared to the sins of all mankind and jinn, his sins will outweigh them. Sayyiduna Ibn Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: O Ibn Amr! Be careful that you are not that man; you have read the scriptures and you have also had the honor of the company of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: I make you a witness that I am going to Syria for the purpose of jihad.
Hadith 12594
وَعَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: أَتَى عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ، فَقَالَ: يَا ابْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ! إِيَّاكَ وَالْإِلْحَادَ فِي حَرَمِ اللَّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى، فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ”إِنَّهُ سَيُلْحِدُ فِيهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ، لَوْ وُزِنَتْ ذُنُوبُهُ بِذُنُوبِ الثَّقَلَيْنِ لَرَجَحَتْ.“ قَالَ: فَانْظُرْ لَا تَكُونُهُ.
It is narrated from Saeed that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) went to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: O Ibn Zubair! Beware of causing corruption and bloodshed within the sanctuary of Allah. I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Soon, a man from the Quraysh will cause bloodshed in this sanctuary; he will be so sinful that if his sins are compared to the sins of all humans and jinn, his sins will outweigh theirs. Behold, make sure that it is not you.
Hadith 12595
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.
Hadith 12596
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ”الْمَدِينَةُ وَمَكَّةُ مَحْفُوفَتَانِ بِالْمَلَائِكَةِ عَلَى كُلِّ نَقْبٍ مِنْهَا مَلَكٌ، لَا يَدْخُلُهَا الدَّجَّالُ وَلَا الطَّاعُونُ.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Makkah and Madinah have been surrounded by angels by Allah; on every path to them, an angel is appointed. The Dajjal and plague cannot enter these two cities.
Hadith 12597
عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: وَقَفَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَى الْحَزْوَرَةِ، فَقَالَ: ”عَلِمْتُ أَنَّكِ خَيْرُ أَرْضِ اللَّهِ، وَأَحَبُّ الْأَرْضِ إِلَى اللَّهِ، وَلَوْلَا أَنَّ أَهْلَكِ أَخْرَجُونِي مِنْكِ، مَا خَرَجْتُ.“ قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ: وَالْحَزْوَرَةُ عِنْدَ بَابِ الْحَنَّاطِينَ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, stopped at the place of Huzurah and addressed Makkah, saying: I know that you are the best and most beloved land of Allah, and if your inhabitants had not expelled me from here, I would never have left on my own. The narrator of the hadith, Abdur Razzaq, says: The place of Huzurah is near Bab al-Hanateen.
Hadith 12598
وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَدِيِّ بْنِ الْحَمْرَاءِ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ وَاقِفٌ بِالْحَزْوَرَةِ مِنْ مَكَّةَ يَقُولُ لِمَكَّةَ: ”وَاللَّهِ! إِنَّكِ لَأَخْيَرُ أَرْضِ اللَّهِ، وَأَحَبُّ أَرْضِ اللَّهِ.“ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ.
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Adi (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) stood at the place of Hazwarah in Makkah and, addressing Makkah, said: By Allah! Indeed, you are the best and most beloved place to Allah on His earth, ... . The following words are similar to the previous narration.
Hadith 12599
عَنْ جَابِرٍ، أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ”سَيَخْرُجُ أَهْلُ مَكَّةَ، ثُمَّ لَا يَعْمُرُونَهَا أَوْ لَا تُعْمَرُ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا، ثُمَّ تَمْتَلِئُ وَتُبْنَى، ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنْهَا فَلَا يَعُودُونَ فِيهَا أَبَدًا.“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) stated that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Soon the people of Makkah will leave from here, and after that, they will not be able to populate it, or he said: after that, it will not be populated, except a little. Then it will begin to be populated and will become full, and it will be built up. But after that, when the people leave, they will never return to it.
