• There is no emigration after the Conquest, but there is Jihad and good intention, and whenever you are called for Jihad, you should immediately respond to the call

  عن عبد الله بن عباس رضي الله عنهما قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يوم فتح مكة: «لا هجرة بعد الفتح، ولكن جهاد ونية. وإذا اسْتُنْفِرْتُم فَانْفِرُوا. وقال يوم فتح مكة: «إن هذا البَلد حَرَّمَهُ الله يوم خلق الله السموات والأرض، فهو حَرَامٌ بحُرْمَةِ الله إلَى يوم القيامة، وإنه لم يحل القتال فيه لِأَحَدٍ قَبْلِي، ولم يَحِلَّ لي إلا ساعة من نهار، حرام بِحرمة الله إلى يوم القيامة، لا يُعْضَدُ شَوْكُهُ، وَلاَ يُنَفَّرُ صَيْدُهُ، وَلاَ يَلْتَقِطُ لُقَطَتَهُ إلا من عَرَّفَهَا، ولاَ يُخْتَلَى خَلاَهُ». فقال العباس: يا رسول الله، إلا الإِذْخِرَ؛ فإنه لِقَيْنِهِمْ وبيوتهم؟ فقال: «إلا الإِذْخِرَ».

On the same day, he added: "Verily, Allah has made this city sacred since the day He created the heavens and the earth. Thus, it is a sanctuary by Allah’s decree until the Day of Judgment. Fighting in it was not permissible for anyone before me, and it was made permissible for me for only an hour of a day. It is sacred by the sacredness granted by Allah until the Day of Judgment. Its thorns should not be cut off, and its game should not be chased, and any lost item found therein should not be picked up except by one who would announce it publicly, and its green grass should not be cut off." Al-‘Abbās said: "O Messenger of Allah, except for lemongrass, for it is used by their blacksmiths and for their domestic purposes.' So, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) responded: "Except for lemongrass."

• Madīnah is a sanctuary from ‘Ayr to Thawr (mountains). Whoever innovates something new (in religion) or shelters an innovator in it will incur the curse of Allah, the angels, and all the people, and Allah will accept from him neither an obligatory nor a supererogatory prayer on the Day of Resurrection

  عن يزيد بن شريك بن طارق، قال: رأيت عليًّا رضي الله عنه على المنبر يخطب، فسمعته يقول: لا والله ما عندنا من كتاب نقرؤه: إلا كتاب الله، وما في هذه الصَّحِيفَةِ، فنشرها؛ فإذا فيها: أَسْنَانُ الإبل، وأشياء من الجِرَاحَاتِ. وفيها: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : «المدينة حَرَمٌ ما بين عَيْرٍ إلى ثَوْرٍ، فمن أحدث فيها حَدَثًا، أو آوى مُحْدِثًا؛ فعليه لعنة الله والملائكة والناس أجمعين، لا يقبل الله منه يوم القيامة صَرْفًا ولا عَدْلًا. ذِمَّةُ المسلمين واحدة، يسعى بها أَدْنَاهُم، فمن أَخْفَرَ مسلما، فعليه لعنة الله والملائكة والناس أجمعين، لا يقبل الله منه يوم القيامة صَرْفًا ولا عَدْلًا. ومن ادعى إلى غير أبيه، أو انتمى إلى غير مواليه، فعليه لعنة الله والملائكة والناس أجمعين؛ لا يقبل الله منه يوم القيامة صَرْفًا ولا عَدْلًا».

  Yazīd ibn Sharīk ibn Tāriq reported: I saw ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) delivering a speech from the pulpit, and I heard him say: "By Allah! We have no book to read except the Book of Allah and what is written in this scroll." He unrolled the scroll, and it showed a list of the types of camels to be given as blood-money and contained other legal matters relating to the killing of game in the sanctuary of Makkah and the expiation for it. In it was also written: "The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Madīnah is a sanctuary from ‘Ayr to Thawr (mountains). Whoever innovates something new (in religion) or shelters an innovator in it will incur the curse of Allah, the angels, and all the people, and Allah will accept from him neither an obligatory nor a supererogatory prayer on the Day of Resurrection. A pledge of protection granted by any Muslim, even of the lowest status is the same and should be honored by all Muslims. Whoever betrays a Muslim in this respect will incur the curse of Allah, the angels, and all the people, and Allah will accept from him neither an obligatory nor a supererogatory prayer on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever attributes his fatherhood to someone other than his (real) father or takes as his master someone other than his (real) master will incur the curse of Allah, the angels, and all the people, and Allah will accept from him neither an obligatory nor a supererogatory prayer on the Day of Resurrection.'"

  عن أبي قَتَادَةَ الأنصاري رضي الله عنه «أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم خرج حاجًّا، فخرجوا معه، فصرف طائفة منهم -فيهم أبو قَتَادَةَ- وقال: خذوا ساحِل البحر حتى نَلْتَقِيَ. فأخذوا ساحل البحر، فلما انصرفوا أحرموا كلهم، إلا أبا قَتَادَةَ فلم يُحرم، فبينما هم يسيرون إذ رأوا حُمُرَ وَحْشٍ، فحمل أبو قَتَادَةَ على الْحُمُرِ، فَعَقَرَ منْها أَتَانَاً، فنزلنا فأكلنا من لحمها، ثم قلنا: أنأكل لحم صيد، ونحن محرمون؟ فحملنا ما بقي من لحمها فأدركنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ، فسألناه عن ذلك؟ فقال: منكم أحد أمره أن يحمل عليها، أو أشار إليها؟ قالوا: لا، قال: فكلوا ما بقي من لحمها»، وفي رواية: «قال: هل معكم منه شيء؟ فقلت: نعم، فناولته الْعَضُدَ ، فأكل منها».

  Abu Qatādah al-Ansāri (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) set out for Hajj and so did his Companions. He sent a group of them by another route, and Abu Qatādah was one of them. He (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Proceed along the sea-shore until we meet up." So, they took the route of the sea-shore, and when they departed, all of them entered in the state of Ihrām for Hajj except Abu Qatādah. While they were proceeding on, they saw a group of onagers. Abu Qatādah chased the onagers and wounded a she-onager. They got down and ate some of its meat and said to each other: "How do we eat the meat of the game while we are in a state of Ihrām?" So, we carried the rest of its meat, and we met the Messenger of Allah and asked him about it. He (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Did anyone of you order Abu Qatādah to attack it or point at it?" They replied in the negative. He said: "Then eat what is left of its meat." And in another narration: He said: "Is there any more left with you?" I said: "Yes" and I gave him its upper arm to eat and he ate from it.

• I saw that when the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) arrived in Makkah, he would touch the Black Corner in the beginning of his Tawāf and walk briskly for three rounds

  عن عبد الله بن عمر رضي الله عنهما قال: « تَمَتَّعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي حَجَّةِ الوَدَاع بالعُمرَة إلى الحج وأهدَى، فَسَاقَ مَعَهُ الهَدْيَ مِن ذِي الحُلَيفَة، وَبَدَأَ رَسول اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَهَلَّ بالعمرة، ثُمَّ أَهَلَّ بالحج، فَتَمَتَّعَ النَّاس مع رسول اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَهَلَّ بالعمرة إلَى الحج، فَكَان مِن النَّاس مَنْ أَهْدَى، فَسَاقَ الهَدْيَ مِن ذي الحُلَيفَة، وَمِنهُم مَنْ لَمْ يُهْدِ، فَلَمَّا قَدِمَ رسول اللَّه صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ للنَّاس: مَنْ كَانَ مِنكُم أَهْدَى، فَإِنَّهُ لا يَحِلُّ مِن شَيء حَرُمَ مِنْهُ حَتَّى يَقْضِيَ حَجَّهُ، وَمَن لَم يَكُن أَهْدَى فَلْيَطُفْ بالبَيت وَبالصَّفَا وَالمَروَة، وَلْيُقَصِّر وَلْيَحْلِل، ثُمَّ لِيُهِلَّ بالحج وليُهدِ، فَمَن لم يجد هَدْياً فَلْيَصُم ثَلاثَةَ أَيَّام فِي الحج وَسَبعة إذَا رَجَعَ إلى أَهلِهِ فَطَافَ رسول اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حِينَ قَدِمَ مَكَّةَ، وَاستَلَمَ الرُّكْنَ أَوَّلَ شَيْءٍ، ثُمَّ خَبَّ ثَلاثَةَ أَطْوَافٍ مِنْ السَّبْعِ، وَمَشَى أَربَعَة، وَرَكَعَ حِينَ قَضَى طَوَافَهُ بالبيت عِند المَقَام رَكعَتَين، ثُمَّ انصَرَفَ فَأَتَى الصَّفَا، وطاف بِالصَّفَا وَالمَروَة سَبعَةَ أَطوَاف، ثُمَّ لَم يَحلِل مِنْ شَيْءٍ حَرُمَ منه حَتَّى قَضَى حَجَّهُ، وَنَحَرَ هَدْيَهُ يوم النَّحرِ، وَأَفَاضَ فَطَافَ بالبيت، ثُمَّ حَلَّ مِن كُلِّ شَيء حَرُمَ مِنهُ، وَفَعَلَ مِثل مَا فَعَلَ رَسول اللَّه صلى الله عليه وسلم : مَن أَهدَى وَسَاقَ الهَديَ مِن النَّاسِ». «رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم حِينَ يَقْدَمُ مكَّة إذا اسْتَلَمَ الرُّكْنَ الأَسْوَدَ -أَول ما يَطُوفُ- يَخُبُّ ثَلاثَةَ أَشْوَاطٍ».

  ‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) performed both ‘Umrah and Hajj in his Farewell Hajj, performing ‘Umrah first and then Hajj, and offered a sacrificial animal. He drove his sacrificial animals with him from Dhu al-Hulayfah. The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) started by assuming Ihrām for ‘Umrah, and after that, he assumed Ihrām for Hajj. And the people too performed ‘Umrah and Hajj with him. So he assumed Ihrām for ‘Umrah first and stayed in Makkah until Hajj. There were some people who brought sacrificial animals and drove them from Dhu al-Hulayfah, while others did not. When the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) arrived, he said to the people: "Whoever among you has brought the sacrificial animal should not do anything prohibited on account of Ihrām until he ends his Hajj. And whoever among you has not brought the sacrificial animal should make Tawāf around the Ka‘bah, make Sa‘i between Safa and Marwah, shorten his hair, and end his Ihrām. Thereafter, he must offer a sacrificial animal. If anyone cannot afford a sacrificial animal, he should fast three days during Hajj and seven days when he returns home." The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) performed Tawāf around the Ka‘bah on his arrival (at Makkah). He touched the corner (the Black Stone) first of all and then walked briskly during the first three rounds and normally during the last four ones. Then, he offered a two-Rak‘ah prayer at the Station of Ibrahīm, after which he went to Safa and Marwah and performed seven rounds of Sa‘ibetween them. He did not do anything prohibited on account of Ihrām till he finished all the rituals of Hajj and slaughtered his sacrificial animal on the Day of Nahr (sacrifice). He then hastened (to Makkah) and performed Tawāf around the Ka‘bah. Upon doing this, everything that had been forbidden because of Ihrām became permissible for him. Those who took and drove the sacrificial animals with them did the same as the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). Ibn ‘Umar said: "I saw that when the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) arrived in Makkah, he would touch the Black Corner in the beginning of his Tawāf and walk briskly for three rounds."
