1833. Narrated Ibn 'Abbās رضي الله عنهما: The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allāh has made Makkah a sanctuary, so it was a sanctuary before me and will continue to be a sanctuary after me. It was made legal for me (i.e., I was allowed to fight in it) for a few hours of a day. It is not allowed to uproot its shrubs or to cut its trees, or to chase (or disturb) its game, or to pick up its Luqata (fallen things) except by a person who would announce that (what he has found) publicly." Al-'Abbās said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Except Al-Idhkhīr (a kind of grass) (for it is used) by our goldsmiths and for our graves." The Prophet ﷺ then said, "Except Al-Idhkhīr." Ikrīma said, "Do you know what 'chasing or disturbing' the game means? It means driving it out of the shade to occupy its place."(1)

1833 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ المُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الوَهَّابِ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِنَّ اللَّهَ حَرَّمَ مَكَّةَ، فَلَمْ تَحِلَّ لِأَحَدٍ قَبْلِي، وَلاَ تَحِلُّ لِأَحَدٍ بَعْدِي، وَإِنَّمَا أُحِلَّتْ لِي سَاعَةً مِنْ نَهَارٍ، لاَ يُخْتَلَى خَلاَهَا، وَلاَ يُعْضَدُ شَجَرُهَا، وَلاَ يُنَفَّرُ صَيْدُهَا، وَلاَ تُلْتَقَطُ لُقَطَتُهَا، إِلَّا لِمُعَرِّفٍ»، وَقَالَ العَبَّاسُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، إِلَّا الإِذْخِرَ، لِصَاغَتِنَا وَقُبُورِنَا؟ فَقَالَ: «إِلَّا الإِذْخِرَ»، وَعَنْ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، قَالَ: هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا لاَ يُنَفَّرُ صَيْدُهَا؟ هُوَ أَنْ يُنَحِّيَهُ مِنَ الظِّلِّ يَنْزِلُ مَكَانَهُ
