Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 14653 — The sanctity of the House
١٤٦٥٣ - حدثنا أبو بكر قال: حدثنا وكيع عن مسعر عن عمرو بن مرة عن طلق ابن حبيب قال: قال عمر: يا أهل مكة اتقوا اللَّه في حرم اللَّه، أتدرون من كان ساكن (هذا البلد) (١)؟ كان به بنو فلان، فأحلوا حرمه، فأهلكوا، وكان به بنو فلان، فأحلوا حرمه، فأهلكوا، حتى ذكر ما شاء اللَّه من قبائل العرب أن يذكر، ثم قال: لأن أعمل عشر خطايا (بركبة) (٢) أحب إلي من أن أعمل هاهنا خطيئة واحدة (٣).
Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O people of Makkah! Fear Allah regarding the sanctuary of Allah. Do you know who used to live in this city? Such-and-such a tribe treated its sanctity as lawful, so they were destroyed; and such-and-such a tribe treated its sanctity as lawful, so they were destroyed" until he mentioned as many of the tribes of the Arabs as Allah willed him to mention. Then he said: "That I commit ten wrongs (sins) at Rukbah is dearer to me than that I commit a single wrong (sin) here (in the Haram)."
