Sahih al-Bukhari 2433 (Book 45, Hadith 8) #2327
The Sanctity of Makkah's Environment

SUMMARY: It is illegal to uproot the thorny bushes, chase the game, or cut the grass in Makkah except for Idhkhir grass.

Narrated Ibn 'Abbas (ra): Allah's Messenger also said, "It (ie, Makkah's) thorny bushes should not be uprooted and its game should not be chased, and picking up its fallen things is illegal except by him who makes public announcement about it, and its grass should not be cut"'.Abbas said, "O Allah's Messenger ! Except Idhkhir (a kind of grass)". The Prophet said, "Except Idhkhir".
وَقَالَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا رَوْحٌ، حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّاءُ، حَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ لاَ يُعْضَدُ عِضَاهُهَا، وَلاَ يُنَفَّرُ صَيْدُهَا، وَلاَ تَحِلُّ لُقَطَتُهَا إِلاَّ لِمُنْشِدٍ، وَلاَ يُخْتَلَى خَلاَهَا ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقَالَ عَبَّاسٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِلاَّ الإِذْخِرَ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِلاَّ الإِذْخِرَ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about the sanctity of Makkah and its environment. Allah's Messenger Muhammad ﷺ has instructed us not to uproot any of its thorny bushes, chase away any game animals living there, or cut down any grass except for a type called Idhkhir. This shows us how important it is to respect and protect our environment and all living things in it. We should take care not to harm nature in any way as this would be disrespectful towards Allah who created it all. Furthermore, we should also be mindful that certain places are more sacred than others and must be treated with extra care and respect.
