The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said on the day of the conquest of Makkah, "There is no migration after the conquest, but rather jihad and intention. So when you are called to march out, march out."He also said on the day of the conquest of Makkah, "Allah made this city sacred on the day He created the heavens and the earth, so it is sacred by the sanctity of Allah until the Day of Resurrection. Fighting in it was never permitted for anyone before me, and it was made permissible for me only for a brief part of a day. It remains sacred by the sanctity of Allah until the Day of Resurrection. Its thorny shrubs are not to be cut, its game is not to be startled, lost property within it is not to be picked up except by one who will announce it, and its fresh grass is not to be uprooted."Abbas said, "Messenger of Allah, except for the idhkhir grass, for it is used by their blacksmiths and in their houses."He said, "Except for the idhkhir."
قال رسول الله ﷺ يوم الفتح فتح مكة: لا هجرة ولكن جهاد ونية وإذا استنفرتم فانفروا وقال يوم الفتح فتح مكة: إن هذا البلد حرمه الله يوم خلق السموات والأرض فهو حرام بحرمة الله إلى يوم القيامة، وإنه لم يحل القتال فيه لأحد قبلي، ولم يحل لي إلا ساعة من نهار، فهو حرام بحرمة الله إلى يوم القيامة، لا يعضد شوكه، ولا ينفر صيده، ولا يلتقط إلا من عرفها، ولا يختلى خلاها فقال العباس يا رسول الله: إلا الإذخر فإنه لقينهم ولبيوتهم فقال: إلا الإذخر.
Bukhari narrated it in the Chapter on Compensation for Game (1834), and Muslim in the Chapter on Hajj (445:1353), the wording here being his, both of them through the route of Jareer, from Mansur, from Mujahid, from Tawus, from Ibn Abbas, who said, and then he mentioned it.As for his statement, "Allah made this land sacred on the day He created the heavens and the earth," it means that the sanctity of this land has been established since the creation of the heavens and the earth, in Allah's knowledge and decree, even though no one was present in it at that time. It then came into existence and remained venerated by all the prophets and messengers, from the time of Adam to the time of Ibrahim. Ibrahim then renewed its prohibition, as stated in the Sahihayn, "Ibrahim made Makkah sacred," meaning he announced this prohibition, because the inhabitants of Makkah had vanished after the flood, or due to a change in the earth's climate, and Makkah remained a valley without vegetation until the time of Ibrahim. Then Allah, the Exalted, willed to have it inhabited, so He settled Ibrahim's descendants in this blessed valley, and he announced its sanctity, to remain until the Day of Judgment just as it had been.
