Abdul Rahman reported on the authority of his father Abu Sa'id (RA) that he heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: I have declared sacred what is between the two lava grounds of Madinah just as Ibrahim (peace be upon him) declared Makkah as sacred. He (the narrator) then said: Abu Sa'id caught hold of (Abu Bakr, another narrator, used the word "found") a bird in his hand and then released it from his hand and set it free.
