This hadeeth comes under the following chapter: EMINENCE OF MEDINA. ALLAAH'S APOSTLE (SALLALLAAHU ALAYHI WA SALLAM) SHOWERED BLESSINGS UPON IT, ITS SACREDNESS, AND UNLAWFULNESS OF HUNTING AND LOPPING OF TREES AND DEMARCATION ITS PRECINCTS
'Asim reported: I asked Anas (Allaah be pleased with him) whether Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) had declared Medina as sacred. He said: Yes, it is sacred, so its tree is not to be cut; and he who did that let the curse of Allaah and that of the angels and of all people be upon him.
