Ibn 'Abbas (RA) reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying on the Day of Victory over Makkah: There is no Hijra (emigration) but only Jihad and good intention; and when you are called to battle, then go forth. He also said on the Day of Victory over Makkah: Allah made this town sacred on the day He created the earth and the heavens; so it is -sacred by the sacredness conferred on it by Allah until the Day of Resurrection and fighting in it was not lawful to anyone before me, and it was made lawful for me only during an hour on one day, for it is sacred by the sacredness conferred on it by Allah until the Day of Resurrection. Its thorns are not to be cut, its game is not to be molested, and the things dropped are to be picked up only by one who makes a public announcement of it, and its fresh herbage is not to be cut. Abbas (RA) said: Messenger of Allah, exception may be made in case of rush, for it is useful for their blacksmiths and for their houses. He (the Holy Prophet) conceding the suggestion of 'Abbas) said: Except rush.

A hadith like this has been narrated on the authority of Mansur, but he did not mention: "On that very day He created the heavens and the earth," and he (the narrator) substituted the word "fighting" (qital) for "killing" (qatl), and further said: "No one is to pick up the dropped thing except one who makes a public announcement of it."

It has been narrated on the authority of Ibn 'Abbas that the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said on the day of the Conquest of Makkah: There is no Hijra now, but (only) Jihad (fighting for the cause of Islam) and sincerity of purpose (have great reward) ; when you are asked to set out (on an expedition undertaken for the cause of Islam) you should (readily) do so.

The above tradition has been handed down through a different chain of transmitters.
