Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah
As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu
Muhrim - 18th Shawwal 1422 (3 January 2002)
Narrated by Said bin Abu Said Al Maqburi (Radhiallaho anho):
Abu Shuraih, Al-'Adawi 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 (sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) 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 (sallallaahu
'alaihi wasallam) 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.' "
