Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah
As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu
Hunting - 18th Sha'ban 1425 (4 October 2004)
Narrated Said bin Abu Said Al-Maqburi (Radhiallaho anho):
Abu Shuraih, Al-'Adawi (Radhiallaho anho) said that he had
said to 'Amr bin Sa'id when he was sending the troops to Mecca
(to fight 'Abdullah bin Az-Zubair), "O Chief! Allow me to tell
you what Allah's Messenger (sallallaahu'alaihi wasallam) said
on the day following the Conquest of Mecca. My ears heard that
and my heart understood it thoroughly and I saw with my own
eyes the Prophet when he, after Glorifying and Praising Allah,
started saying, 'Allah, not the people, made Mecca a sanctuary,
so anybody who has belief in Allah and the Last Day should
neither shed blood in it, nor should he cut down its trees. If
anybody tells (argues) that fighting in it is permissible on
the basis that Allah's Messenger did fight in Mecca, say to
him, 'Allah allowed His Messenger and did not allow you.'
"Allah allowed me only for a few hours on that day (of the
conquest) and today its sanctity is valid as it was before.
So, those who are present should inform those who are absent
(concerning this fact." Abu Shuraih was asked, "What did 'Amr
reply?" He said, ('Amr said) 'O Abu Shuraih! I know better
than you in this respect Mecca does not give protection to a
sinner, a murderer or a thief."
