2. We were told by Muhammed bin Hasan bin Ahmad bin Waleed, may Allah grant him mercy, that he said: We were told by Muhammed bin Hasan al-Saffar, from Abbas bin Ma’ruf, from Ali bin Mahziyar, that he said: We were told by Hussain bin Sa’eed, from Safwan bin Yahya, from Ibn Maskan, from Hasan al-Sayqal, that he said: Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, said: I was at the place of Ziyad bin Ubaidullah, and at his place was Rabee’a al-Ra’y. Ziyad said to him: O Rabee’a, what did the Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, declare as forbidden in Medina? He said to him: Mail for mail. Then I said to Rabee’a: Was there mail during the era of Allah’s Messenger, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family? Then he became silent and did not answer me. He said: Then Ziyad approached me and said: O father of Abdullah, then what do you say? I said: The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, declared as forbidden, in Medina, that which is between the two laba’s of hunted prey. He said: And what are their two laba’s? He said: That which is surrounded by grounds with black stone. He said: And he said to me: What did the Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, declare as forbidden from trees? I said: From ‘Eer to Wa’eer. [1] Safwan said: Ibn Maskan said: Hasan said: Then a person asked him while I was sitting, and he said to him: And what is their two laba’s? He said: That which is between the two trumpets until the narrow mountain pass.

3. With this chain of narrators, from Hussain Sa’eed, from Muhammed bin Sinan, from Ibn Maskan, from Abu Baseer, from Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, that he said: The Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his Family, declared as forbidden, from Medina, that which is from Dhubab Waqim, ‘Areedh and Naqb from the side of Mecca. Ibn Maskan said in his narration: And in another narration: From the two trumpets until the narrow mountain pass.

4. We were told by Muhammed bin Hasan bin Ahmad bin Waleed, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: We were told by Hussain ibn Hasan bin Aban, from Hussain bin Sa’eed, from Hammad bin Isa, and Fadala, from Mu’awiya bin Ammar, that he said: I heard Abu Abdillah, peace be upon him, say: That which is between thw two laba’s of Medina, from the shadow of ‘A’er until the shadow of Wa’eer, is a sanctuary. I said: Is its bird (forbidden to hunt) like the bird of Mecca? He said: No, nor should its trees be cut.

It has been reported that it is forbidden, from that which has been hunted in Medina, that which has been hunted between the two grounds with black stone.
