809. Sa'eed bin Abī Sa'eed Al-Maqburī narrated: "Abū Shurāih Al-'Adawī said that when 'Amr bin Sa'eed was sending troops to Makkah, he said to him: 'O Amīr! Allow me to tell you what the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said on the day following the Conquest of Makkah. My ears heard it, my heart understood it thoroughly, and with my own eyes, I saw the Prophet ﷺ when he – after glorifying and praising Allāh – said: "Indeed Allāh, the Most High, made Makkah a sanctuary, it was not made a sanctuary by the people. So it is not lawful for a man who believes in Allāh and the Last Day to shed blood it, nor to cut down its trees. If anybody tries to use the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ to make an excuse for fighting in it, then say to him: 'Indeed Allāh permitted His Messenger ﷺ and He did not permit you.’ Allāh only allowed it for me for a few hours of one day, and today its sanctity has returned as it was before. So let the one who is present convey to the one who is absent.” Abū Shuraiḥ was asked: “What was ‘Amr bin Sa’eed’s reply to you?” He said: “I am more knowledgeable about that than you Abū Shuraiḥ! The Haram does not give protection to a disobedient person, nor a person fleeing for murder, nor fleeing for (Kharbah) lawlessness.” (Ṣaḥīḥ) Abū ‘Eisā said: It has been reported as: “(Nor fleeing for) atrocities (Khizyah).” There are narrations on this topic from Abū Hurairah and Ibn ‘Abbās. Abū ‘Eisā said: The Hadīth of Abū Shuraiḥ is a Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ Hadīth. Abū Shuraiḥ Al-Khuẓā’ī’s name is Khuwailid bin ‘Amr, (and he is) Al-Adawī (and he is) Al-Ka’bī. The meaning of Kharbah is criminal offence. He (‘Amr) said that whoever commits a crime, or sheds blood, if he comes to the Haram, then the legal punishment is to be implemented upon him.

٨٠٩ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ ، عَنْ ‌سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْمَقْبُرِيِّ ، 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، وَلَا يَحِلُّ لِامْرِئٍ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ أَنْ يَسْفِكَ فِيهَا دَمًا أَوْ يَعْضُدَ بِهَا شَجَرَةً، فَإِنْ أَحَدٌ تَرَخَّصَ بِقِتَالِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِيهَا فَقُولُوا لَهُ: إِنَّ اللهَ أَذِنَ لِرَسُولِهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَلَمْ يَأْذَنْ لَكَ، وَإِنَّمَا أَذِنَ لِي فِيهِ سَاعَةً مِنَ النَّهَارِ، وَقَدْ عَادَتْ حُرْمَتُهَا الْيَوْمَ كَحُرْمَتِهَا بِالْأَمْسِ، وَلْيُبَلِّغِ الشَّاهِدُ الْغَائِبَ. فَقِيلَ لِأَبِي شُرَيْحٍ: مَا قَالَ لَكَ عَمْرٌو؟ قَالَ: أَنَا أَعْلَمُ مِنْكَ بِذَلِكَ يَا أَبَا شُرَيْحٍ، إِنَّ الْحَرَمَ لَا يُعِيذُ عَاصِيًا وَلَا فَارًّا بِدَمٍ، وَلَا فَارًّا بِخَرْبَةٍ. وَيُرْوَى: وَلَا فَارًّا بِخِزْيَةٍ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ. حَدِيثُ أَبِي شُرَيْحٍ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ. وَأَبُو شُرَيْحٍ الْخُزَاعِيُّ اسْمُهُ خُوَيْلِدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، وَهُوَ الْعَدَوِيُّ الْكَعْبِيُّ. وَمَعْنَى قَوْلِهِ وَلَا فَارًّا بِخَرْبَةٍ يَعْنِي الْجِنَايَةَ، يَقُولُ: مَنْ جَنَى جِنَايَةً أَوْ أَصَابَ دَمًا ثُمَّ لَجَأَ إِلَى الْحَرَمِ فَإِنَّهُ يُقَامُ عَلَيْهِ الْحَدُّ.

Commentary

The saying of ‘Amr bin Sa’eed to Abū Shuraiḥ “I am more knowledgeable about that” is not right as ‘Abdullāh bin Az-Zubair had not committed any crime and he was not involved in any kind of dishonesty. .
