1832. Narrated Sa'id bin Abū Sa'id Al-Maqburi: Abū Shurāih Al-'Adawī said that he had said to 'Amr bin Sa'id when he was sending the troops to Makkah (to fight 'Abdullāh bin Az-Zubair), "O Chief! Allow me to tell you what Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said on the day following the conquest of Makkah. My ears heard that and my heart understood it thoroughly and I saw with my own eyes the Prophet ﷺ when he, after glorifying and praising Allāh, said, 'Allāh, not the people, made Makkah a sanctuary, so anybody who has belief in Allāh and the Last Day should neither shed blood in it, nor should he cut down its trees. If anybody tells (argues) that fighting in it is permissible on the basis that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ did fight in Makkah, say to him: Allāh allowed His Messenger ﷺ and did not allow you.' The Prophet ﷺ added: '[Allāh allowed me only for a few hours on that day (of the conquest) and today its sanctity is valid as it was before. So, those who are present should inform those who are absent (concerning this fact].'" Abū Shurāih was asked, "What did 'Amr reply?" He said, ('Amr said) "O Abū Shurāih! I know better than you in this respect, Makkah does not give protection to a sinner, a murderer or a thief." (1) (Ch.8) Trees: Naturally grown only, neither planted nor sowed by you.

1832 - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ المَقْبُرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي شُرَيْحٍ العَدَوِيِّ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِعَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ وَهُوَ يَبْعَثُ البُعُوثَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ: ائْذَنْ لِي أَيُّهَا الأَمِيرُ أُحَدِّثْكَ قَوْلًا قَامَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِلْغَدِ مِنْ يَوْمِ الفَتْحِ، فَسَمِعَتْهُ أُذُنَايَ، وَوَعَاهُ قَلْبِي، وَأَبْصَرَتْهُ عَيْنَايَ حِينَ تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ، إِنَّهُ حَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " إِنَّ مَكَّةَ حَرَّمَهَا اللَّهُ وَلَمْ يُحَرِّمْهَا النَّاسُ، فَلاَ يَحِلُّ لِامْرِئٍ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَاليَوْمِ الآخِرِ أَنْ يَسْفِكَ بِهَا دَمًا، وَلاَ يَعْضُدَ بِهَا شَجَرَةً، فَإِنْ أَحَدٌ تَرَخَّصَ لِقِتَالِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُولُوا لَهُ: إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَذِنَ لِرَسُولِهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَلَمْ يَأْذَنْ لَكُمْ، وَإِنَّمَا أَذِنَ لِي سَاعَةً مِنْ نَهَارٍ، وَقَدْ عَادَتْ حُرْمَتُهَا اليَوْمَ كَحُرْمَتِهَا بِالأَمْسِ، وَلْيُبَلِّغِ الشَّاهِدُ الغَائِبَ " فَقِيلَ لِأَبِي شُرَيْحٍ: مَا قَالَ لَكَ عَمْرٌو؟ قَالَ: أَنَا أَعْلَمُ بِذَلِكَ مِنْكَ يَا أَبَا شُرَيْحٍ، إِنَّ الحَرَمَ لاَ يُعِيذُ عَاصِيًا، وَلاَ فَارًّا بِدَمٍ، وَلاَ فَارًّا بِخُرْبَةٍ، خُرْبَةٌ: بَلِيَّةٌ
