revealed and he recited it and I heard it (directly) from his mouth as soon as he recited its revelation.

Narrated Said bin Abu Said Al-Maqburi:
Abu Shuraih, Al-‘Adawi said that he had said to ‘Amr bin Sa’id when he was sending the troops to
Mecca (to fight ‘Abdullah bin Az-Zubair), “O Chief! Allow me to tell you what Allah’s Apostle said on
the day following the Conquest of Mecca. My ears heard that and my heart understood it thoroughly
and I saw with my own eyes the Prophet when he, after Glorifying and Praising Allah, started saying,
‘Allah, not the people, made Mecca a sanctuary, so anybody who has belief in Allah and the Last Day
should neither shed blood in it, nor should he cut down its trees. If anybody tells (argues) that fight –
ing in it is permissible on the basis that Allah’s Apostle did fight in Mecca, say to him, ‘Allah allowed
His Apostle and did not allow you.’ “Allah allowed me only for a few hours on that day (of the con –
quest) and today its sanctity is valid as it was before. So, those who are present should inform those
who are absent (concerning this fact.” Abu Shuraih was asked, “What did ‘Amr reply?” He said, (‘Amr
said) ‘O Abu Shuraih! I know better than you in this respect Mecca does not give protection to a sin –
ner, a murderer or a thief.”
