2628. It was narrated from Ibn 'Umar that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ stood up on the Day of the conquest of Makkah, on the
steps of the Ka'bah. He praised and glorified Allāh, then he said: "Praise is to Allāh Who has fulfilled His promise, granted victory to His slave and defeated the Confederates alone. The one who is killed by mistake is the one who is killed with a whip or a stick; for him the blood money is one hundred camels, of which forty should be pregnant she-camels with their youngs in their wombs. Every custom of Ignorance period, and every blood claim, is beneath these two feet of mine (i.e., is abolished), except for the custodianship of the Ka'bah and the provision of water for the pilgrims, which I confirm still belong to the people to whom they belonged before." (Da'if)

Commentary
Allāh's promise means the conquest of Makkah and victory of Islam which was fulfilled in the life of the Noble Prophet ﷺ.
Killing by mistake means the killing that resembles killing intentionally. It has been explained in this Hadith by mentioning a stick or whip.
Before the conquest of Makkah different offices for public services related to the Sacred Ka'bah were with various tribes. All other offices were cancelled, but the office of the custodianship of Ka'bah and the office of provision of water for the pilgrims were not changed because there were no anti-Islamic beliefs or practices involved.
