Sahih Muslim 1362 (Book 15, Hadith 521) #10456
Sacredness of Medina

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) declared Medina as a sacred place, and forbade the cutting of trees or hunting of animals within its boundaries.

Jabir (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah's Apostle as saying: Ibrahim declared Mecca as sacred; I declare Medina, that between the two mountains, as inviolable. No tree should be lopped and no game is to be molested.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَعَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ، كِلاَهُمَا عَنْ أَبِي أَحْمَدَ، - قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ الأَسْدِيُّ، - حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حَرَّمَ مَكَّةَ وَإِنِّي حَرَّمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ مَا بَيْنَ لاَبَتَيْهَا لاَ يُقْطَعُ عِضَاهُهَا وَلاَ يُصَادُ صَيْدُهَا
