Sahih al-Bukhari 1766 (Book 28, Hadith 14)
but Jihad and intentions, and whenever you are called for Jihad, you should go immediately. No
doubt, Allah has made this place (Mecca) a sanctuary since the creation of the heavens and the earth
and will remain a sanctuary till the Day of Resurrection as Allah has ordained its sanctity. Fighting
was not permissible in it for anyone before me, and even for me it was allowed only for a portion of a
day. So, it is a sanctuary with Allah’s sanctity till the Day of Resurrection. Its thorns should not be
uprooted and its game should not be chased; and its luqata (fallen things) should not be picked up
except by one who would announce that publicly, and its vegetation (grass etc.) should not be cut.”
Al-`Abbas said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Except Al-Idhkhir, (for it is used by their blacksmiths and for
their domestic purposes).” So, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Except Al-Idhkhir.”
