The Prophet ﷺ said, "Allah made Mecca sacred. It was not made lawful for anyone before me, nor will it be lawful for anyone after me. It was made lawful for me only for a brief portion of a day. Its grass is not to be cut, its trees are not to be uprooted, its game is not to be disturbed, and its lost property is not to be picked up except by one who will announce it publicly."Abbas said, "Except for idhkhir grass, for it is needed by our goldsmiths and for our graves."The Prophet ﷺ said, "Except for idhkhir."Abu Hurairah
reported from the Prophet ﷺ, "for our graves and our houses."Abban bin Salih reported from al-Hasan bin Muslim, from Safiya bint Shayba, that she heard the Prophet ﷺ say something similar.Mujahid reported from Tawus, from Ibn Abbas
, "for their blacksmiths and their houses."
حدثنا محمد بن عبد الله بن حوشب حدثنا عبد الوهاب حدثنا خالد عن عكرمة
عن النبي ﷺ قال حرم الله مكة فلم تحل لأحد قبلي ولا لأحد بعدي أحلت لي ساعة من نهار لا يختلى خلاها ولا يعضد شجرها ولا ينفر صيدها ولا تلتقط لقطتها إلا لمعرف فقال العباس رضي الله عنه إلا الإذخر لصاغتنا وقبورنا فقال إلا الإذخر وقال أبو هريرة رضي الله عنه عن النبي ﷺ لقبورنا وبيوتنا وقال أبان بن صالح عن الحسن بن مسلم عن صفية بنت شيبة سمعت النبي ﷺ مثله وقال مجاهد عن طاوس عن ابن عباس رضي الله عنهما لقينهم وبيوتهم
