It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that regarding the cemetery located on the first road to Makkah, when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) reached there behind Zafeeriya or Zafeerah, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is the best cemetery." The one who narrated the hadith to me, I asked him: Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) specifically mention the valley as well? He said: These are the exact words; regarding the specification of the valley, he did not inform us, he only stated that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gestured with his hand towards the back of Zafeerah or Zafeer, and we used to hear that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also specified the valley located in front of the House of Allah (Baytullah).

It is narrated from Abu Hassan that when Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) would give an order and, after carrying it out, people would say,“We have done such and such work,”he would say:“Allah and His Messenger have spoken the truth.”Ash’ath said to him:“You say such things, and now this has become widespread among the people. Is this something that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) specifically instructed you?”Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said:“The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not tell me anything separately from the people, except that I heard one thing from him, which is written in this scroll, and this scroll is kept safe in the sheath of my sword.”Upon the insistence of the people, he took out that scroll, and in it was written the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):“Whoever introduces a new thing in the religion or gives protection to one who introduces a new thing, upon him is the curse of Allah, the angels, and all people. None of his obligatory or voluntary acts of worship will be accepted.”Also, it was written in it that Ibrahim (peace be upon him) declared the sanctity of Makkah, and I declare the sanctity of Madinah. The area between the two Harrahs is a sanctuary, and no grass should be cut from its pastures, nor should its game be frightened or scared, and nothing fallen there should be picked up, except by one who intends to announce it. Nor should trees be cut within the boundaries of the sanctuary, except that a man may graze his camel, and weapons should not be raised there for fighting. And it was also written in it that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“The blood of all believers is equal, and when any Muslim grants protection to a non-Muslim, all Muslims must fulfill that covenant, and Muslims are united against their enemy. Remember, no believer can be killed in retaliation for a disbeliever, nor can a person under protection be killed during the period of his protection.”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Medina is a sanctuary from the mountain of 'Ayr to the mountain of Thawr. Whoever introduces an innovation in Medina or gives refuge to an innovator, upon him is the curse of Allah, the angels, and all people. Allah will not accept any obligatory or voluntary act of worship from him on the Day of Resurrection."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Every prophet has a sanctuary, and my sanctuary is Madinah. O Allah! I declare it a sanctuary by Your permission. No innovator or sinner should be able to seek refuge here. Its trees should not be cut, nor its grass mown, and except for the announcer, no one else is permitted to pick up anything fallen here.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Whoever appoints another as his master without the permission of his own masters, upon him is the curse of Allah, the angels, and all people; on the Day of Resurrection, Allah will not accept any obligatory or supererogatory act of worship from him. Madinah is a sanctuary; whoever commits an innovation or a sinful act here, or gives refuge to an innovator or sinner, upon him is the curse of Allah, the angels, and all people; on the Day of Resurrection, Allah will not accept any obligatory or supererogatory act of worship from him. The protection of all Muslims is equal; any ordinary Muslim can grant protection to a non-Muslim. Whoever breaks the covenant of a Muslim, upon him is the curse of Allah, the angels, and all people, and on the Day of Resurrection, Allah will not accept any obligatory or supererogatory act of worship from him.

It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Allah Almighty has declared the area between the two Harrahs of Madinah as a sanctuary (Haram) through my tongue. After that, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, went to the people of Banu Harithah and said: O Banu Harithah! I think your residence is outside the Haram. Then the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, looked carefully and said: No, no, you are within the Haram, you are within the Haram.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) declared the area between the two Harrahs of Madinah as a sanctuary (Haram). Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: If I find deer between these two Harrahs, I would neither frighten nor scare them away, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had declared twelve miles around Madinah as a sanctuary (Haram).

It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, who says: If I see wild goats roaming between the two Harrahs of Madinah, I would neither scare nor threaten them, nor would I touch them, because I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, declaring it forbidden to shake or cut its trees.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) declared the area between the two Harrahs of Madinah Munawwarah as a sanctuary, where no tree can be cut down. However, if a person wishes to feed his camel, he is permitted to do so.

It is narrated from Sulaiman bin Abi Abdullah, he says: I saw Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he saw a man hunting in the sanctuary of Madinah, which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had declared a sanctuary, so he took possession of the man's clothes. The people of his tribe came, so Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) said: This sanctuary was declared a sanctuary by the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said that if you see anyone hunting in this sanctuary, then the confiscated property will belong to the one who confiscates it. So, what the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) has given me, I will not return it, but if you wish, I can give you its price.
