Ishaq narrated to us: Khalid ibn Abd Allah narrated to us, from Khalid, from Ikrima, from Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Allah made Mecca a sanctuary. It was not permitted to anyone before me, nor will it be permitted to anyone after me. It was made permissible to me for only 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.” Abbas ibn Abd al-Muttalib said, “Except idhkhir grass, for our goldsmiths and for the roofs of our houses.” He said, “Except idhkhir.” Ikrima said, “Do you know what it means to disturb its game? It means to move it from the shade and take its place.” Abd al-Wahhab reported from Khalid: “For our goldsmiths and our graves.”
