It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas said: “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said on the day of the Conquest of Makkah: ‘Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, has made this land sacred, and it was not permissible to fight therein for anyone before me. It was permitted for me for a few hours of a day, and it is sacred by the decree of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime.” (Sahih)
