English narration
Narrated by عبد الله بن العباس القرشي
"The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'Allah has made Mecca, a sanctuary, so it was a sanctuary before me and will continue to be a sanctuary after me. It was made legal for me (i.e. I was allowed to fight in it) for a few hours of a day. It is not allowed to uproot its shrubs or to cut its trees, or to chase (or disturb) its game, or to pick up its luqata (fallen things) except by a person who would announce that (what he has found) publicly.' Al-`Abbas said, 'O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Except Al-Idhkhir (a kind of grass) (for it is used) by our goldsmiths and for our graves.' The Prophet (ﷺ) then said, 'Except Al-Idhkhir.' " `Ikrima said, 'Do you know what "chasing or disturbing" the game means? It means driving it out of the shade to occupy its place."
النص العربي
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدٌ ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، أَنّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : "
إِنَّ اللَّهَ حَرَّمَ مَكَّةَ ، فَلَمْ تَحِلَّ لِأَحَدٍ قَبْلِي وَلَا تَحِلُّ لِأَحَدٍ بَعْدِي ، وَإِنَّمَا أُحِلَّتْ لِي سَاعَةً مِنْ نَهَارٍ لَا يُخْتَلَى خَلَاهَا ، وَلَا يُعْضَدُ شَجَرُهَا ، وَلَا يُنَفَّرُ صَيْدُهَا ، وَلَا تُلْتَقَطُ لُقَطَتُهَا ، إِلَّا لِمُعَرِّفٍ
" ، وَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، إِلَّا الْإِذْخِرَ لِصَاغَتِنَا وَقُبُورِنَا ، فَقَالَ : إِلَّا الْإِذْخِرَ ، وَعَنْ خَالِدٍ ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ ، قَالَ : هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا لَا يُنَفَّرُ صَيْدُهَا ؟ هُوَ أَنْ يُنَحِّيَهُ مِنَ الظِّلِّ يَنْزِلُ مَكَانَهُ .
