It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were coming from a place called Laylah with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). When we reached near a berry tree, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood on one side of a mountain called Qarn Aswad, facing it, and looked towards the valley of Nakhb and stood there for a while. All the people also stopped there. After that, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "The game of Wajj—which is the name of a valley in Ta’if—and every thorny tree is included in the Haram, and to hunt or cut it is forbidden in obedience to Allah’s command." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said this before reaching Ta’if and besieging Banu Thaqif.
