[3306] 448 - (...) Abū Hurairah said: “(The tribe of) Khuzā‘ah killed a man from Banū Laith in the year when Makkah was conquered, in retaliation for one of their people whom they had killed. The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was told about that, then he rode on his mount and addressed them, saying: ‘Allāh held the elephant back from Makkah, and He caused His Messengers and the believers to prevail over it. It was not permissible (to shed blood therein) for anyone before me and it is not permissible for anyone after me; it was only permitted to me for part of a day. Now, at this very hour, it is sacred; its thorns are not to be cut, its trees are not to be cut down and its lost property is not to be picked up except by the one who announces it. Anyone whose (relative) has been killed has one of two choices: Either he may be given the Diyah or he may retaliate.’ A man from Yemen,
who was called Abû Shâh, came to him and said: 'Write it for me, O Messenger of Allâh.' He said: 'Write it for Abû Shâh.' A man of the Quraish said: 'Except Idhkhir, for we use it in our houses and in our graves.' The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: 'Except Idhkhir.'"
