Hadith 1602
حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِك، عَنْ
عَمْرٍو مَوْلَى الْمُطَّلِبِ، عَنْ
أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ طَلَعَ لَهُ أُحُدٌ، فَقَالَ :
" هَذَا جَبَلٌ يُحِبُّنَا وَنُحِبُّهُ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَرَّمَ مَكَّةَ وَأَنَا أُحَرِّمُ مَا بَيْنَ لَابَتَيْهَا "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, when Uhud mountain appeared before him: "This is the mountain that loves us and we love it. O my Lord! Ibrahim (peace be upon him) declared Makkah sacred (i.e., he made hunting, fighting, and uprooting trees or grass there forbidden), and I declare sacred the area between the two boundaries of Madinah."
Hadith 1603
وَحَدَّثَنِي مَالِك، عَنْ
ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ
سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيَّبِ ، عَنْ
أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ : لَوْ رَأَيْتُ الظِّبَاءَ بِالْمَدِينَةِ تَرْتَعُ مَا ذَعَرْتُهَا، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ :
" مَا بَيْنَ لَابَتَيْهَا حَرَامٌ "
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he used to say: If I see deer grazing in Madinah, I would never disturb them; the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The two boundaries of Madinah are sacred."
Hadith 1604
Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) saw some boys who had cornered a fox in one corner, so he drove the boys away and released the fox (because it is forbidden to capture the animals of Madinah, just as in Makkah).
Imam Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) said that Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Does such an act take place in the sanctuary of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?"
Hadith 1605
وَحَدَّثَنِي وَحَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى، عَنْ مَالِك، عَنْ
رَجُلٍ ، قَالَ : دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ
زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ وَأَنَا بِالْأَسْوَافِ " قَدْ
اصْطَدْتُ نُهَسًا، فَأَخَذَهُ مِنْ يَدِي فَأَرْسَلَهُ "
It is narrated from a person (Sharjeel bin Sa’d) that Sayyiduna Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) came to me while I was in Aswaaf (a place on the outskirts of Madinah), and I had hunted a bird. He took it from my hand and set it free.
