Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: On the occasion of the conquest of Makkah, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said at the threshold of the Ka'bah: “All praise is due to Allah alone, Who fulfilled His promise, Who helped His servant, Who single-handedly defeated the confederates. Be aware! Deliberate murder, if committed mistakenly, is when a person is killed with a stick or staff; for this, the penalty is one hundred camels as a severe blood money, of which forty will be pregnant she-camels. Be aware! Every custom and every blood of the time of ignorance (the narrator is unsure, perhaps these are the words) and every wealth is under my two feet, except for the service of the Ka'bah and the tradition of providing water to the pilgrims, for I will keep both of these as they were for their respective people.”

Hadith Takhrij«إسناده ضعيف فيه على بن زيد بن جدعان غير أن الحديث صحيح من حديث عبدالله بن عمرو بن االعاص أخرجه النسائي فى «المجتبیٰ» برقم: 4813 ، والنسائي فى «الكبریٰ» برقم: 6975، وأبو داود فى «سننه» بدون ترقيم، وابن ماجه فى «سننه» برقم: 2628، والبيهقي فى«سننه الكبير» برقم: 16096، 16221، وأحمد فى «مسنده» برقم: 4673، 5021، 5909، وأبو يعلى فى «مسنده» ، برقم: 5675»
´It was narrated from Ibn Umar that :` the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood up on the Day of the conquest of Makkah, on the steps of the Ka'bah. He praised and glorified Allah (SWT), then he said: “Praise is to Allah (SWT) who has fulfilled His promise, granted victory to His slave and defeated the Confederates alone. The one who is killed by mistake is the one who is killed with a whip or a stick; for him the blood money is one hundred camels, of which forty should be pregnant she-camels with their youngs in their wombs. Every custom of Ignorance period, and every blood claim, is beneath these two feet of mine (i.e. is abolished), except for the custodianship of the Ka'bah and the provision of water for the pilgrims, which I confirm still belong to the people to whom they belonged before.”

Benefits and Issues:
➊ The mentioned narration has been declared weak in its chain by our esteemed researcher, and he has further written that it has supporting evidences; among them, the previous hadith is also a supporting evidence for it, and that is authentic. Moreover, Shaykh al-Albani rahimahullah has also declared the mentioned narration to be hasan (good). Therefore, despite the mentioned narration being weak in its chain, it is acceptable for practice and as evidence. For details, see: (al-Irwa’ by al-Albani: 7/257).
➋ The promise of Allah refers to the promise of the conquest of Makkah and the dominance of Islam in Arabia, which was fulfilled during the lifetime of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam.
➌ By "groups" are meant the various tribes and bands of non-Muslim Arabs whom the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam confronted, and Allah the Exalted granted victory to His Prophet over them.
➍ In this hadith, "unintentional killing" refers to "quasi-intentional" (shibh al-‘amd), as clarified by the mention of the whip and stick.
➎ Before Islam, various religious offices were held by different tribes of Makkah, which, being un-Islamic, were abolished. However, the offices of serving the Ka‘bah, custodianship of its keys, and providing water to the pilgrims were maintained, because these did not involve beliefs or actions contrary to Islam.
➏ In the era of ignorance (Jahiliyyah), the office of serving the Ka‘bah was with the tribe of Banu ‘Abd al-Dar. At the time of the conquest of Makkah, the branch of this tribe, Banu Shaybah, held this office. The key to the Ka‘bah was with a member of Banu Shaybah, ‘Uthman ibn Talhah al-Hajabi radi Allahu anhu. The responsibility of providing water to the pilgrims and managing Zamzam was in the hands of Banu Hashim, and at the time of the conquest of Makkah, this responsibility was with al-‘Abbas radi Allahu anhu. These two offices remain to this day in the descendants of these two individuals.
