The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allâh held back the elephant or killing from Makka. (The subnarrator is in doubt whether the Prophet (ﷺ) said " elephant " or " killing, "as the Arabic words standing for these words have great similarity in shape), but He (Allâh) let His Messenger (ﷺ) and the believers overpower the infidels of Makka. Beware ! (Makka is a sanctuary) Verily ! Fighting in Makka was not permitted for anyone before me nor it will be permitted for anyone after me. It (war) in it was made legal for me for few hours or so on that day. No doubt it is at this moment a sanctuary, it is not allowed to uproot its thorny shrubs or to uproot its trees or to pick up its Luqața (fallen things) except by a person who will look for its owner (announce it publicly). And if somebody is killed, then (his closest relative) has the right to choose one of the two- the blood money (Diyya) or retaliation having the killer killed. In the meantime a man from Yemen came and said, "O Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ)! Get that written for me." The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered his companions to write that for him. Then a man from Quraish said, "Except Al-Idhkhir (a type of grass that has good smell) O Allâh's Messenger (ﷺ), as we use it in our houses and graves." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Except Al-Idhkhir i.e. Al-Idhkhir is allowed to be plucked." [1:112-O.B.]
