[3305] 447 - (1355) Abû Hurairah said: "When Allâh enabled His Messenger to conquer Makkah, he (ﷺ) stood before the people and praised and extolled Allâh, then he said: 'Allâh held the elephant back from Makkah, and He caused His Messenger and the believers to prevail over it. It was not permissible (to shed blood therein) for anyone before me, and it was only made permissible to me for part of a day, and it will never be permissible for anyone after me. Its game is not to be disturbed, its thorns are not to be cut, and its lost property is not permissible for anyone (to be picked up) but the one who announces it. If a person is killed he (relative) has a choice: Either to be given the blood money or to have the killer killed in retaliation.' Al-'Abbâs said: 'Except Idhkhir, O Messenger of Allâh, for we use it in our graves and in our houses.' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Except Idhkhir.' Abû Shâh, a man from Yemen, stood up and said: ‘Write it for me, O Messenger of Allāh.’ The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: ‘Write it for Abū Shāh.’” Al-Walīd said: “I said to Al-Awzā‘ī: ‘What did he mean: “Write it for me, O Messenger of Allāh?”’ He said: ‘This speech that he heard from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ.’”

447 - (1355) حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، وَعُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، جَمِيعًا عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ، قَالَ زُهَيْرٌ: حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ، حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ هُوَ ابْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: لَمَّا فَتَحَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَكَّةَ، قَامَ فِي النَّاسِ، فَحَمِدَ اللهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ. ثُمَّ قَالَ: " إِنَّ اللهَ حَبَسَ عَنْ مَكَّةَ الْفِيلَ، وَسَلَّطَ عَلَيْهَا رَسُولَهُ وَالْمُؤْمِنِينَ، وَإِنَّهَا لَنْ تَحِلَّ لِأَحَدٍ كَانَ قَبْلِي، وَإِنَّهَا أُحِلَّتْ لِي سَاعَةً مِنْ نَهَارٍ، وَإِنَّهَا لَنْ تَحِلَّ لِأَحَدٍ بَعْدِي، فَلَا يُنَفَّرُ صَيْدُهَا، وَلَا يُخْتَلَى شَوْكُهَا، وَلَا تَحِلُّ سَاقِطَتُهَا إِلَّا لِمُنْشِدٍ، وَمَنْ قُتِلَ لَهُ قَتِيلٌ فَهُوَ بِخَيْرِ النَّظَرَيْنِ: إِمَّا أَنْ يُفْدَى، وَإِمَّا أَنْ يُقْتَلَ "، فَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ: إِلَّا الْإِذْخِرَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَإِنَّا نَجْعَلُهُ فِي قُبُورِنَا وَبُيُوتِنَا، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِلَّا الْإِذْخِرَ» فَقَامَ أَبُو شَاهٍ - رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْيَمَنِ - فَقَالَ: اكْتُبُوا لِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اكْتُبُوا لِأَبِي شَاهٍ»، قَالَ الْوَلِيدُ: فَقُلْتُ لِلْأَوْزَاعِيِّ: مَا قَوْلُهُ: اكْتُبُوا لِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: «هَذِهِ الْخُطْبَةَ الَّتِي سَمِعَهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ»
