2879. It was narrated from Abû Shuraih, that he said to ‘Amr bin Sa’d, when he was sending troops in batches to Makkah: “O Commander! Permit me to tell you of a statement that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said the day after the Conquest of Makkah, which my ears heard, my heart understood, and my eyes saw, when he said it. He (the Prophet ﷺ) praised Allāh, then he said: ‘Makkah has been made sacred by Allāh, not by the people. It is not permissible for any man who believes in Allāh and the Last Day to shed blood in it, or to cut its trees. If anyone seeks permission to fight in it because the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ fought in it, say to him: Allāh allowed His Messenger (to fight therein) but He did not allow you. Rather permission was given to me (to fight therein) for a short period of one day, and now its sanctity has been restored as it was before. Let those who are present convey (this news) to those who are absent.’” (Sahīh)

"A short period": From the commencement of the attack until the establishment of superiority over it. And this period of time was from sunrise till midafternoon.
