[3304] 446 - (1354) It was narrated from Abū Shurāih Al-'Adawī that he said to 'Amr bin Sa'eed - while he was sending troops to Makkah: "O commander, let me tell the people of something that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said on the day following the Conquest (of Makkah), that my ears heard and my heart understood, and my eyes saw him as he said it. He praised and extolled Allāh, then he said: 'Makkah was declared sacred by Allāh and not by people. It is not permissible for any man who believes in Allāh and the Last Day to shed blood therein or to cut down its trees. If anyone seeks a concession based on the fact that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ fought therein, tell him that Allāh granted permission to His Messenger ﷺ but He did not grant you permission. Rather I was only given permission for part of one day, and today its sanctity has been restored as it was before. Let those who are present convey it to those who are absent.'" It was said to Abū Shuraih: "What did 'Amr say to you?" He said: "I know more about that than you, O Abû Shuraih. The sanctuary does not give protection to one who is disobedient, or to one who is fleeing after shedding blood, or one who is fleeing after committing a theft."

446 - (1354) حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي شُرَيْحٍ الْعَدَوِيِّ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِعَمْرِو بْنِ سَعِيدٍ وَهُوَ يَبْعَثُ الْبُعُوثَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ: ائْذَنْ لِي أَيُّهَا الْأَمِيرُ أُحَدِّثْكَ قَوْلًا قَامَ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْغَدَ مِنْ يَوْمِ الْفَتْحِ، سَمِعَتْهُ أُذُنَايَ، وَوَعَاهُ قَلْبِي، وَأَبْصَرَتْهُ عَيْنَايَ حِينَ تَكَلَّمَ بِهِ، أَنَّهُ حَمِدَ اللهَ، وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: " إِنَّ مَكَّةَ حَرَّمَهَا اللهُ وَلَمْ يُحَرِّمْهَا النَّاسُ، فَلَا يَحِلُّ لِامْرِئٍ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ أَنْ يَسْفِكَ بِهَا دَمًا، وَلَا يَعْضِدَ بِهَا شَجَرَةً، فَإِنْ أَحَدٌ تَرَخَّصَ بِقِتَالِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِيهَا، فَقُولُوا لَهُ: إِنَّ اللهَ أَذِنَ لِرَسُولِهِ، وَلَمْ يَأْذَنْ لَكُمْ، وَإِنَّمَا أَذِنَ لِي فِيهَا سَاعَةً مِنْ نَهَارٍ، وَقَدْ عَادَتْ حُرْمَتُهَا الْيَوْمَ كَحُرْمَتِهَا بِالْأَمْسِ، وَلْيُبَلِّغِ الشَّاهِدُ الْغَائِبَ "، فَقِيلَ لِأَبِي شُرَيْح: مَا قَالَ لَكَ عَمْرٌو؟ قَالَ: أَنَا أَعْلَمُ بِذَلِكَ مِنْكَ يَا أَبَا شُرَيْح، «إِنَّ الْحَرَمَ لَا يُعِيذُ عَاصِيًا، وَلَا فَارًّا بِدَمٍ، وَلَا فَارًّا بِخَرْبَةٍ»
