It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Makkah is a place where all may alight; its lands are not to be sold and its houses are not to be rented out." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it. Its supporting narration (shahid) is the hadith narrated by Imam Abu Hanifah:

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Makkah is sacred; the selling of its lands is unlawful, and the rent of its houses (taking it) is also unlawful." It is established by authentic narrations that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered Makkah by peace treaty; among those narrations are the following:

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set out to conquer Makkah, he said to me: "Call out to the Ansar." So I called out: O company of the Ansar! Respond to the call of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). They came so swiftly it was as if they had a prior appointment. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Take this road, and whoever appears before you, do not leave him until you have overpowered him." So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) advanced, and Allah conquered Makkah for him. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) performed tawaf of the House of Allah and prayed two rak'ahs, then went out through the gate that faces al-Safa and went up onto the hill of al-Safa. There he addressed the people, while the Ansar were below him in the low ground. Then the Ansar said to one another: This man (the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him) has been overcome by tenderness for his people and a longing for his town. So Allah Almighty sent down revelation about what the Ansar had said, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O company of the Ansar! Are you saying that this man has been overcome by tenderness for his people and a longing for his town?" Then he said: "If that were so, who would I be then? Never, by Allah! I am the servant of Allah and His true Messenger. My life is with you, and my death is also with you." The Ansar said: By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, we said that only out of fear that you would leave us and remain here. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You are truthful before Allah and His Messenger." The narrator said: By Allah, there was not one of them whose chest was not soaked with tears.
