What is said about the goldsmiths

باب مَا قِيلَ فِي الصَّوَّاغِ

Narrated Ibn ‘Abbas رضي الله عنهما: The Prophet ﷺ said, “Do not cut the shrubs of Makkah.” Al-‘Abbas said, “Except Al-Idhkhir (a kind of grass). It is used by their blacksmith and for their houses.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “Except Al-Idhkhir.”
وَقَالَ طَاوُسٌ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لاَ يُخْتَلَى خَلاَهَا». وَقَالَ الْعَبَّاسُ إِلاَّ الإِذْخِرَ، فَإِنَّهُ لِقَيْنِهِمْ وَبُيُوتِهِمْ. فَقَالَ: «إِلاَّ الإِذْخِرَ».
Sahih al-Bukhari 2090
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ عِكْرِمَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ إِنَّ اللَّهَ حَرَّمَ مَكَّةَ، وَلَمْ تَحِلَّ لأَحَدٍ قَبْلِي، وَلاَ لأَحَدٍ بَعْدِي، وَإِنَّمَا حَلَّتْ لِي سَاعَةً مِنْ نَهَارٍ، وَلاَ يُخْتَلَى خَلاَهَا، وَلاَ يُعْضَدُ شَجَرُهَا، وَلاَ يُنَفَّرُ صَيْدُهَا وَلاَ يُلْتَقَطُ لُقَطَتُهَا إِلاَّ لِمُعَرِّفٍ ‏"‏‏.‏ وَقَالَ عَبَّاسُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ إِلاَّ الإِذْخِرَ لِصَاغَتِنَا وَلِسُقُفِ بُيُوتِنَا‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ إِلاَّ الإِذْخِرَ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقَالَ عِكْرِمَةُ هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا يُنَفَّرُ صَيْدُهَا هُوَ أَنْ تُنَحِّيَهُ مِنَ الظِّلِّ، وَتَنْزِلَ مَكَانَهُ‏.‏ قَالَ عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ عَنْ خَالِدٍ لِصَاغَتِنَا وَقُبُورِنَا‏.‏
Ibn `Abbas:

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Allah made Mecca a sanctuary and it was neither permitted for anyone before, nor will it be permitted for anyone after me (to fight in it). And fighting in it was made legal for me for a few hours of a day only. None is allowed to uproot its thorny shrubs or to cut down its trees or to chase its game or to pick up its Luqata (fallen things) except by a person who would announce it publicly." `Abbas bin `Abdul-Muttalib requested the Prophet, "Except Al-Idhkhir, for our goldsmiths and for the roofs of our houses." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Except Al-Idhkhir." `Ikrima said, "Do you know what is meant by chasing its game? It is to drive it out of the shade and sit in its place." Khalid said, "(`Abbas said: Al-Idhkhir) for our goldsmiths and our graves."
