Ata says that Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) was asked about hunting locusts in the Haram, so he replied: "No," and forbade it. Ata said: I said to him, or a man from the people said to him, "Your people sit in the mosque tied up with their clothes, and they catch them?" So Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "They do not have knowledge."
