Sa'id bin al-Musayyab (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he used to say: If I saw gazelles grazing in Madinah, I would not frighten them, for the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What lies between its two lava plains is sacred."
