Allah’s Apostle stood beside me at Al-Hudaibiya and the lice were falling from my head in great
number. He asked me, “Have your lice troubled you?” I replied in the affirmative. He ordered me to
get my head shaved. Ka’b added, “This Holy Verse:–‘And if any of you is ill, or has ailment in his
scalp (2.196), etc. was revealed regarding me. “The Prophet then ordered me either to fast three days,

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.”

Narrated ‘Abdullah bin Ma’qal:
I sat with Ka’b bin ‘Ujra and asked him about the Fidya. He replied, “This revelation was revealed
concerning my case especially, but it is also for you in general. I was carried to Allah’s Apostle and
the lice were falling in great number on my face. The Prophet said, “I have never thought that your
ailment (or struggle) has reached to such an extent as I see. Can you afford a sheep?” I replied in the
negative. He then said, “Fast for three days, or feed six poor persons each with half a Sa of food.” (1 Sa
= 3 Kilograms approx.)
Volume 3, Book 29, Number 59:
Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas:
“The Prophet said, ‘Allah has made Mecca, a sanctuary, so it was a sanctuary before me and will
continue to be a sanctuary after me. It was made legal for me (i.e. I was allowed to fight in it) for a
few hours of a day. It is not allowed to uproot its shrubs or to cut its trees, or to chase (or disturb) its
game, or to pick up its luqata (fallen things) except by a person who would announce that (what he
has found) publicly.’ Al-‘Abbas said, ‘O Allah’s Apostle! Except Al-ldhkhir (a kind of grass) (for it is
used) by our goldsmiths and for our graves.’ The Prophet then said, ‘Except Al-idhkhir.’ ” ‘Ikrima said,
‘Do you know what “chasing or disturbing” the game means? It means driving it out of the shade to
occupy its place.”

I heard Al-Bara’ saying, “The above Verse was revealed regarding us, for the Ansar on returning
from Hajj never entered their houses through the proper doors but from behind. One of the Ansar

“It is not righteousness That you enter the houses from the back, But the righteous man is He who
fears Allah, Obeys His order and keeps away from What He has forbidden So, enter houses through
the proper doors.” (2.189)
