3921. Sa'eed bin Al-Musayyab narrated that Abū Hurairah used to say: "If I saw hyenas roaming in Al-Madinah, I would not advance upon them. Indeed the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Whatever is between its two lava tracts is sacred.'" (Sahīh) [He said:] There are similar narrations on this topic from Sa'd, 'Abdullāh bin Zaid, Anas, Abū Ayyūb, Zaid bin Thābit, Rāfi' bin Khadīj, Jābir and Sahl bin Ḥunaif. [Abū 'Eisā said:] The Hadīth of Abū Hurairah is a Hasan Ṣahīh Hadīth.

٣٩٢١ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌مَعْنٌ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌مَالِكٌ (ح) وَحَدَّثَنَا ‌قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ ‌مَالِكٍ ، عَنِ ‌ابْنِ شِهَابٍ ، عَنْ ‌سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَقُولُ: «لَوْ رَأَيْتُ الظِّبَاءَ تَرْتَعُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ» مَا ذَعَرْتُهَا؛ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: مَا بَيْنَ لَابَتَيْهَا حَرَامٌ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ سَعْدٍ، وَعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، وَأَنَسٍ، وَأَبِي أَيُّوبَ، وَزَيْدِ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ، وَرَافِعِ بْنِ خَدِيجٍ، وَسَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ، وَجَابِرٍ. حَدِيثُ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Commentary

In the East and West of Al-Madinah, there are two rocky lava tracks. The stones of this place are called 'Labatah' and 'Harrah'. The plain in between these two lava tracks is sacred. Hunting and cutting of trees is prohibited in this area.
