✧ Hamza with Nun
"إِنَّ الله ﷻ حَبَس عَن مَكَّةَ الْفِيلَ، وَسَلَّطَ عَليهَا رَسُولَ الله والمؤمنين، ألَا فإنَّهَا لَا تَحِلُّ لأحد قبْلِى وَلَا تَحِلُّ لأَحد بعدى، أَلَا وإنَّهَا حَلَّتْ لي سَاعَةً مِن نَهَار، أَلَا وَإنَّهَا سَاعَتِى هَذ حَرَامٌ لَا يُخْتَلى شَوْكُهَا، ولا يُعْضَدُ شَجَرُهَا، ولَا تُلتَقَطُ سَاقطتها إِلا لِمُنْشِدٍ؛ وَمَن قُتِلَ له قَتِيلٌ فَهُوَ بخَير النَّظَرَين: إِمَّا أن يُعْقَلَ وَإمَّا أنْ يُقادَ أَهْلُ القتيل فقال رجلٌ: يا رَسُولَ الله إلا الإِذخِرَ، فقال: إلا ذُحِرَ".

"Indeed Allah ﷻ withheld the elephant from Makkah and gave power over it to His Messenger and the believers. Note: it is not lawful for anyone before me, nor is it lawful for anyone after me. It was made lawful for me for an hour of the day. Note: it is sacred now as it was this hour; its thorny plants are not to be cut, its trees are not to be felled, and its fallen items are not to be picked up except by one who announces it. Whoever has a person killed, he has the better of two choices: either it be accepted as blood money, or the family of the slain may take retaliation." A man said: "O Messenger of Allah, except the idhkhir." He said: "Except idhkhir."
