e Special Qualities of Madinah 1- It is a sacred precinct and a safe haven between ‘Ayr and Thawr–two mountains–so the trees therein are not to be cut and the game are not to be hunted. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Madinah is a sacred precinct–that which is between ‘Ayr and Thawr–whosoever does evil therein, or shelters an evil doer, then upon him is the curse of Allah, the angels and mankind altogether.” [ Agreed upon.] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ made it sacred just as Ibrahim made Makkah sacred. On the authority of ‘Abdullah ibn Zaid who said: “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Indeed, Ibraheem made Makkah a sacred precinct and prayed for it, and I have made Madinah a sacred precinct as Ibraheem did with Makkah, and I prayed for it in its Mudd and Saa’ (i.e. for its trade to increase) as Ibraheem ﷺ had done (for Makkah.)’” [ Source: Bukhari.]
