(1) His statement: “what has the little bird done”: Abu Hanifah, Abu Yusuf, and Muhammad said there is no sanctuary for Madinah as there is for Makkah, so no one is prevented from hunting its game or cutting its trees. At-Tahawi supported their view with this Hadith, as Abu Umair took the little bird from Madinah. Ash-Shafi’i, Malik, and Ahmad said the sanctuary of Madinah is like that of Makkah. [As stated in Al-Urf Ash-Shadhi]

(۱) قوله : ما فعل النغير: قال أبو حنيفة وأبو يوسف ومحمد ليس للمدينة حرم كما كان لمكة، فلا يمنع أحد من أخذ صيدها وقطع شجرها، فتمسك الطحاوي لمذهبهم بهذا الحديث؛ لأن أبا عمير أخذ النغير (لال چڑيا) من المدينة. وقال الشافعي ومالك وأحمد: إن حرم المدينة كحرم مكة. أخذته من «العرف الشذي».
