Abu Huraira (Allaah be pleased with him) reported that Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) declared sacred the territory between two lava mountains of Medina. Abu Huraira said: If I were to find deer in the territory between the two mountains, I would not molest them, and he (the Prophet) declared twelve miles of suburb around Medina as a prohibited pasture.
