Home Hadith Hadith 103
Whenever `Aisha (the wife of the Prophet) heard anything which she did not understand, she used to
ask again till she understood it completely. Aisha said: "Once the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever will be
called to account (about his deeds on the Day of Resurrection) will surely be punished." I said,
"Doesn't Allah say: "He surely will receive an easy reckoning." (84.8) The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "This
means only the presentation of the accounts but whoever will be argued about his account, will
certainly be ruined."

Abu Shuraih said, "When `Amr bin Sa`id was sending the troops to Mecca (to fight `Abdullah bin Az-
Zubair) I said to him, 'O chief! Allow me to tell you what the Prophet (ﷺ) said on the day following the
conquests of Mecca. My ears heard and my heart comprehended, and I saw him with my own eyes,
when he said it. He glorified and praised Allah and then said, "Allah and not the people has made
Mecca a sanctuary. So anybody who has belief in Allah and the Last Day (i.e. a Muslim) should
neither shed blood in it nor cut down its trees. If anybody argues that fighting is allowed in Mecca as
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) did fight (in Mecca), tell him that Allah gave permission to His Apostle, but He did
not give it to you. The Prophet (ﷺ) added: Allah allowed me only for a few hours on that day (of the
conquest) and today (now) its sanctity is the same (valid) as it was before. So it is incumbent upon
those who are present to convey it (this information) to those who are absent." Abu- Shuraih was
asked, "What did `Amr reply?" He said `Amr said, "O Abu Shuraih! I know better than you (in this
respect). Mecca does not give protection to one who disobeys (Allah) or runs after committing
murder, or theft (and takes refuge in Mecca).
