On the Day of the Conquest of Mecca, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Allah has made this town a sanctuary.
Its thorny bushes should not be cut, its game should not be chased, and its fallen things should not be
picked up except by one who would announce it publicly."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 25, Hadith 73

`Aisha said that the Prophet (ﷺ) said to her, "O Aisha! Were your nation not close to the Pre-Islamic
Period of Ignorance, I would have had the Ka`ba demolished and would have included in it the portion
which had been left, and would have made it at a level with the ground and would have made two
doors for it, one towards the east and the other towards the west, and then by doing this it would have
been built on the foundations laid by Abraham." That was what urged Ibn-Az-Zubair to demolish the
Ka`ba. Jazz said, "I saw Ibn-Az-Zubair when he demolished and rebuilt the Ka`ba and included in it a
portion of Al-Hijr (the unroofed portion of Ka`ba which is at present in the form of a compound
towards the northwest of the Ka`ba). I saw the original foundations of Abraham which were of stones
resembling the humps of camels." So Jarir asked Yazid, "Where was the place of those stones?" Jazz
said, "I will just now show it to you." So Jarir accompanied Yazid and entered Al-Hijr, and Jazz
pointed to a place and said, "Here it is." Jarir said, "It appeared to me about six cubits from Al-Hijr or
so."

I asked, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Where will you stay in Mecca? Will you stay in your house in Mecca?"
He replied, "Has `Aqil left any property or house?" `Aqil along with Talib had inherited the property
of Abu Talib. Jafar and `Ali did not inherit anything as they were Muslims and the other two were
non-believers. `Umar bin Al-Khattab used to say, "A believer cannot inherit (anything from an)
infidel." Ibn Shihab, (a sub-narrator) said, "They (`Umar and others) derived the above verdict from
Allah's Statement: "Verily! those who believed and Emigrated and strove with their life And property
in Allah's Cause, And those who helped (the emigrants) And gave them their places to live in, These
are (all) allies to one another." (8.72)
