Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 2-3512b
"عن عبيد الله، بن عمير: أن عمر بن الخطاب رأى رجلًا يقطع من شجر الحرم ويَعْلفه بعيرا له، فقال: علىّ بالرجل، فأتى به، فقال: يا عبد الله! أما علمت أن مكة حرام لا يعضد عضاهها ولا ينفر صيدها، ولا تحل لقطتها إلا لمعرِّفٍ؟ فقال: يا أمير المؤمنين! والله ما حملنى على ذلك إلا أن أعلف نِضوًا () لى، فخشيتُ أن لا يبلغنى وما معى من زاد ولا نفقة، فرق له بعد ما هم به، وأمر له ببعير من إبل الصدقة مُوقرًا طحينا فأعطاهُ إياه، وقال: لا تعودن تقطع من شجر الحرم شيئًا".

"From 'Ubayd Allah ibn 'Umayr: that 'Umar ibn al-Khattab saw a man cutting trees from the sacred precinct (haram) and feeding them to his camel. He said: Bring me the man. He was brought, and he said: O servant of Allah! Did you not know that Makkah is sacred; its thorny trees may not be cut, its game may not be frightened, and its lost property may not be picked up except by one who announces it? He said: O Commander of the Believers! By Allah, what led me to it was only that I wanted to feed my weak camel, and I feared that it would not reach me, and I had with me no provision or expense. 'Umar showed pity to him after he had intended to punish him, and ordered for him a camel from the camels of charity, loaded with flour, and gave it to him, and said: Do not return to cutting anything from the trees of the sacred precinct."
