Sahih al-Bukhari 1833

Muhammad ibn al-Muthanna narrated to us; Abd al-Wahhab narrated to us; Khalid narrated to us, from Ikrima, from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), that the Prophet said: “Allah made Mecca a sanctuary. It was not lawful for anyone before me, nor will it be lawful for anyone after me. It was made lawful for me only for an hour of a day. Its vegetation must not be cut, its trees must not be felled, its game must not be disturbed, and its lost property must not be picked up except by someone who will announce it publicly.” Al-Abbas said: “Messenger of Allah, except for idhkhir grass, which our goldsmiths and our graves need.” The Prophet said: “Except for idhkhir.” Khalid also reported, from Ikrima, who said: “Do you know what it means not to disturb its game? It means moving it out of the shade so that another may settle in its place.”
