Musnad Ahmad 1416 (Book 7, Hadith 12) #35038
Sacredness of Wajj

SUMMARY: Hunting and cutting down plants in Wajj is forbidden as it is sacred to Allah.

It was narrated that az-Zubair (رضي الله عنه) said: We came from Liyyah with the Messenger of Allah and when we reached Sidrat, the Messenger of Allah stood at one side of Qarnul-Aswad, facing it, then he turned his gaze towards Nakhibah (ie, a valley) and he waited until all the people had stopped too. Then he said: 'Hunting in Wajj and cutting down its plants is haram; it is sacred to Allah". That was before he came to at-Ta'if and besieged Thaqeef.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْحَارِثِ، مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ مَخْزُومِيٌّ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ إِنْسَانَ، قَالَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ خَيْرًا عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ أَقْبَلْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ مِنْ لَيْلَةٍ حَتَّى إِذَا كُنَّا عِنْدَ السِّدْرَةِ وَقَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فِي طَرَفِ الْقَرْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ حَذْوَهَا فَاسْتَقْبَلَ نَخِبًا بِبَصَرِهِ يَعْنِي وَادِيًا وَقَفَ حَتَّى اتَّفَقَ النَّاسُ كُلُّهُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ إِنَّ صَيْدَ وَجٍّ وَعِضَاهَهُ حَرَمٌ مُحَرَّمٌ لِلَّهِ وَذَلِكَ قَبْلَ نُزُولِهِ الطَّائِفَ وَحِصَارِهِ ثَقِيفَ‏.‏
