"From Yahya ( ) ibn 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Hatib, from his father, who said: When 'Umar ibn al-Khattab sent the group he sent to renew the markers of the Sacred Precinct, he commanded them to look at every valley that flows into the Sacred Precinct and set markers there, informing people and making it sacred, and at every valley that flows into the non-sacred area and make it lawful. He said: When 'Uthman ibn 'Affan became ruler, he sent 'Abd al-Rahman ibn 'Awf in charge of the Hajj, and commanded him to define the markers of the Sacred Precinct. 'Abd al-Rahman sent a group of Quraysh, including Huwaytib ibn 'Abd al-'Uzza and 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Azhar. Sa'id ibn Yarbu' had lost his sight at the end of 'Umar's caliphate, and Makhramah ibn Nawfal lost his sight during 'Uthman's caliphate, so they kept renewing the markers of the Sacred Precinct every year. When Mu'awiyah became ruler, he wrote to the governor of Makkah and commanded him to renew them."
