It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira that in the year of the conquest of Makkah, the Banu Khuza'ah killed a man from Banu Laith in retaliation for one of their own who had been killed by Banu Laith (at some time). This news was conveyed to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, so he mounted his ride and delivered a sermon. He said: Verily, Allah the Exalted protected Makkah from the people of the elephant, and He made His Messenger and the believers prevail over it (for battle). Beware! This Makkah was not made lawful for anyone before me, nor will it be made lawful for anyone after me. Beware! It was made lawful for me only for one hour of the day. Beware! Even in this hour, Makkah is sacred. Its thorn shall not be cut, nor shall its trees be cut, nor shall its lost property be picked up except by one who announces it. And whoever has had someone killed from him, he has two options: either he retaliates by killing, or the family of the slain accepts blood money. The narrator says: Then a man named Abu Shah came to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and said: O Messenger of Allah, write this down for me. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said (to the companions): Write it down for Abu Shah. Then a man from the Quraysh said: O Messenger of Allah, except for the idhkhir (a type of grass), for we use it in our homes and graves. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Yes, idhkhir is excepted.

Hazrat Zuhri narrates that a man from Banu Duhl bin Bakr said: I wish to visit the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and to hear some instructions from him. So he said to another man: Come with me. That man said: I fear that the people of Banu Khuza’ah might kill me. (Nevertheless) he kept walking with him until a man from the tribe of Khuza’ah met him and recognized him, and struck him in the stomach with a sword. The slain man said: I had already informed you that these people would kill me. Then this matter reached the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, so he stood up, praised and glorified Allah, and then said:“Indeed, Allah Himself has made Makkah a sanctuary; people did not make Makkah a sanctuary. This Makkah was made lawful for me for a moment of the day, and after that it is still forbidden. And the three people who are the greatest enemies of Allah Almighty are: the man who kills in Makkah, the man who kills someone who did not kill, and the man who seeks revenge from the days of ignorance. Therefore, I myself will pay the blood money for this man.”

39695 - Amr ibn Murrah said: (I narrated) (1) this hadith to Sa'id ibn al-Musayyib and I said: "Did Allah infect (with contagion)?" He said: "(He infected) (2)."

It is narrated from Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that in the year of the conquest of Makkah, Hazrat Abbas bin Abdul Muttalib brought Abu Sufyan to the presence of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and Abu Sufyan accepted Islam at the place of Maraz-Zahran. Hazrat Abbas said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Abu Sufyan is a man who likes pride. If you could appoint something (honorable) for him? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes! Whoever enters the house of Abu Sufyan will be safe, and whoever closes his door will also be safe.

Narrated by Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both): The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is a sacred place, meaning Makkah. From the day Allah created the heavens and the earth, He made it sacred. It was not made lawful for anyone before me, nor will it be made lawful for anyone after me. And for me, it was made lawful only for a short period of the day. Its thorns are not to be cut, its game is not to be frightened away, its grass is not to be cut, and its lost property is not to be picked up except by one who will announce it. Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), the people of Makkah find it difficult to do without the Idhkhir grass, as they use it for their foundations and in their blacksmithing. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Idhkhir is excepted.

It is narrated from Ibn Abi Mulaykah that when Makkah was conquered, Bilal al-Habashi climbed to the roof of the Ka'bah and gave the call to prayer (adhan). Safwan bin Umayyah said to Harith bin Hisham, "Do you not see this slave?" Harith replied, "If Allah disliked this, He would have replaced him with someone else."

Hazrat Hisham bin Urwah narrates from his father that Hazrat Bilal gave the call to prayer (Adhan) from the roof of the Ka'bah on the day of the conquest of Makkah.

It is narrated from Hazrat Saeed bin Al-Musayyib that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set out in the year of the conquest of Makkah from Madinah Munawwarah with an army of eight thousand, or ten thousand. And among the people of Makkah there were two thousand people.

Hazrat Umm Hani bint Abi Talib narrates that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) conquered Makkah, two men from my in-laws, the Banu Makhzum, came running to me. Umm Hani says: So I hid them in my house. Then my brother, Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) bin Abi Talib, came to me and said, "I will certainly kill both of them." Umm Hani says: I took both men (into a room) and closed the door, then I went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) at an elevated place in Makkah. At that time, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was bathing in a tub in which there were traces of kneaded dough, and Hazrat Fatimah (the daughter of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him) was screening him. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) finished his bath, he took his clothes and put them on, then he performed eight rak‘ahs of the forenoon prayer. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) turned towards me and said: "Umm Hani! Welcome, you are most welcome. For what purpose have you come?" I said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Two men from my in-laws have come running to me (for protection), and then Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) bin Abi Talib came to me, and now Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) intends to kill both of them." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No! Rest assured, O Umm Hani! Whom you have given protection, we have also given protection, and whom you have granted safety, we have also granted safety."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri that when the Surah "Iza Ja'a Nasrullahi Wal Fath" was revealed, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) recited it completely until he finished it. Then he said: "In one direction are (the later) people, and in one direction are I and my companions (the first to believe)." And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "After the conquest of Makkah, there is no migration, but jihad and prophethood remain." Marwan said to Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri: "You are lying." (At that time) Zaid bin Thabit and Rafi' bin Khadij were present with Marwan and were sitting with him on the throne. Abu Saeed Khudri said: "If these two wished, they would also narrate this hadith to you, but one of them fears that you will expel him from his people, and the other fears that you will deprive him of charity." But both of them remained silent, until Marwan raised a whip to strike Abu Saeed. When both of them saw this, they said: "Abu Saeed has spoken the truth."
