Ma’qil: I sat with Ka’b ibn ‘Ujrah and asked him about the Fidyah. He replied, This revelation[3]
was revealed concerning my case especially, but it is also for you in general. I was brought before the Messenger of Allah
and the lice was falling in great numbers 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: Observe Sawm
(fasts) for three days, or feed six poor persons
each with one-half a Saa of food[4] [and this is the compensation for
getting your head shaved].

Abu Laila reporting the speech of Ka’b ibn ‘Ujrah: Allah’s Messenger saw him

you? He replied in the affirmative. So, he (the Prophet) ordered him to get
his head shaved while he was at al-Hudaibiyyah. At that time they were not permitted to
finish their Ihraam, and were still hoping to enter Makkah. So,
Allah revealed the verses of al-Fidyah. Allah’s Messenger ordered him to feed
six poor persons with one Faraq[5]
of food or to slaughter one sheep (as a sacrifice) or to observe Sawm (fast)
for three days.

Hadeeth No. 214:
Narrated Sa’eed ibn Abu
Sa’eed al-Maqburee: Abu Shuraih al-‘Adawee said that he had said to Amr ibn
Sa’eed when he was sending troops to Makkah (to fight Abdullah ibn az-Zubair),
‘O Chief! Allow me to tell you what Allah’s Messenger said on the day following
the conquest of Makkah. 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, said: Allah, not
the people, made Makkah 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 fighting in it is permissible on the
basis that Allah’s Messenger did fight in Makkah, say to him: Allah
allowed His Messenger and did not allow you. The Prophet added: Allah allowed me only for
a few hours on that day (of the Conquest) 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.
Makkah does not give protection to a sinner, a murderer or a theif. [al-Bukhaaree 3/52, No. 1832; Muslim]

Hadeeth No. 215 :
Narrated Ibn Abbaas: On the day of the Conquest of Makkah, the
Prophet said: There is no more
emigration (from Makkah) but [what remains is] Jihaad (Fighting for the Cause of
Allah) and Niyyah (Sincere Intentions); and whenever you are called for
Jihaad, you should go immediately. No
doubt, Allah has made this place (Makkah) a sanctuary since the creation of the
heavens and the earth, and it will remain a sanctuary till the Day of Resurrection,
since Allah (Himself) 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 Shawk (thorns) should not be uprooted and its Said
(game) should not be chased; and its Luqtah (fallen things)
should not be picked up except by one who would announce that
publicly, and its Khalaa (vegetation,
grass etc.) should not be cut.
Al-Abbaas said: O Allah's Messenger!
Except al-Idh-khir
(a kind of grass) for it is used li-Qaini-him (by
their blacksmiths) and li-Buyooti-him
(for their domestic purposes, in their homes).
So the Prophet said: Except al-Idh-khir.
