It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "I have made (the area) between the two lava fields of Madinah a sanctuary, just as Ibrahim (peace be upon him) made Makkah a sanctuary." The narrator says: Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) would find one of us with a bird in his hand that he had caught, and he would free it from his hand and let it go.
