Bismillah.

Hadith no. 1357 (below) is a repeat. Read it here.

Volume 2, Book 26, Number 657:

Narrated Ibn Abbas (radiallaahi `anhu):

On the Day of the Conquest of Mecca, Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) said, "Allah has made this town a sanctuary. Its thorny bushes should not be cut, its game should not be chased, and its fallen things should not be picked up except by one who would announce it publicly."

Today's Ahadith:

Volume 2, Book 26, Number 658:

Narrated 'Usama bin Zaid (radiallaahi `anhu):

I asked, "O Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam)! Where will you stay in Mecca? Will you stay in your house in Mecca?" He replied, "Has 'Aqil left any property or house?" Aqil along with Talib had inherited the property of Abu Talib. Jafar (radiallaahi `anhu) and Ali (radiallaahi `anhu) did not inherit anything as they were Muslims and the other two were non-believers. 'Umar bin Al-Khattab (radiallaahi `anhu) used to say, "A believer cannot inherit (anything from an) infidel." Ibn Shihab, (a sub-narrator) said, "They (Umar (radiallaahi `anhu) and others) derived the above verdict from Allah's Statement: "Verily! those who believed and Emigrated and strove with their life And property in Allah's Cause, And those who helped (the emigrants) And gave them their places to live in, These are (all) allies to one another." (8.72)

Volume 2, Book 26, Number 659:

Narrated Abu Huraira (radiallaahi `anhu):

When Allah's Apostle (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) intended to enter Mecca he said, "Our destination tomorrow, if Allah wished, will be Khaif Bani Kinana where (the pagans) had taken the oath of Kufr." (Against the Prophet i.e. to be loyal to heathenism by boycotting Bani Hashim, the Prophet's (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) folk).

Volume 2, Book 26, Number 660:

Narrated Abu Huraira (radiallaahi `anhu):

On the Day of Nahr at Mina, the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) said, "Tomorrow we shall stay at Khaif Bani Kinana where the pagans had taken the oath of Kufr (heathenism)." He meant (by that place) Al-Muhassab where the Quraish tribe and Bani Kinana concluded a contract against Bani Hashim and Bani 'Abdul-Muttalib or Bani Al-Muttalib that they would not intermarry with them or deal with them in business until they handed over the Prophet (sallallaahu `alayhi wasallam) to them.

Volume 2, Book 15, Number 781:

Narrated Said bin Jubair:

I was with Ibn Umar when a spear head pierced the sole of his foot and his foot stuck to the paddle of the saddle and I got down and pulled his foot out, and that happened in Mina. Al-Hajjaj got the news and came to enquire about his health and said, "Alas! If we could only know the man who wounded you!" Ibn Umar said, "You are the one who wounded me." Al-Hajjaj said, "How is that?" Ibn Umar said, "You have allowed the arms to be carried on a day on which nobody used to carry them and you allowed arms to be carried in the Haram even though it was not allowed before."

Volume 2, Book 15, Number 782:

Narrated Said bin 'Amr bin Said bin Al-'Aas:

Al-Hajjaj went to Ibn Umar while I was present there. Al-Hajjaj asked Ibn Umar, "How are you?" Ibn Umar replied, "I am all right," Al-Hajjaj asked, "Who wounded you?" Ibn Umar replied, "The person who allowed arms to be carried on the day on which it was forbidden to carry them (he meant Al-Hajjaj)".

As for the background of this particular incident, history books can shed some light on it iA. The crux is, Ibn Umar saw al-Hajjaj as a tyrant, and disapproved of him. He wasn't the only one, though.

At al-Hajjaj's death in ad 714, the people of Iraq rejoiced openly in the streets. Umar II (caliph, 717 - 720) thanked God for removing a "tyrant" and Hasan al-Basri said "O God, it is You who killed him; please, put an end to his habitual practices". [Wikipedia]
Ayyub said: “I asked Nafi’ how Ibn ‘Umar died, and he said: “He was injured between two of his fingers by a supporting beam in the middle of the crowd during the stone-throwing of the Hajj, and this made him sick. So, al-Hajjaj came to visit him, and Ibn ‘Umar closed his eyes. al-Hajjaj spoke to him, and he would not reply.””

No judgement intended.

Coming back to the the Ahadith mentioned above, it is not allowed to carry weapons in the vicinity of Haram, because that place is sacred, and anything that could potentially violate its sanctity is forbidden. If one wants to carry a weapon to protect himself, let him know that countless security guards are already doing that job. :)

: See, these men have been appointed for our safety. ^_^

What's forbidden is forbidden. No one can make lawful what Allah made unlawful, not even scholars. So Ibn Umar was angry at al-Hajjaj because he had allowed people to carry arms in Haram, although it was forbidden to do so. Allahu A`lam.

Wassalam.

Volume 2, Book 13, Number 729:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

heard Allah's Apostles (p.b.u.h) saying, "If the prayer is started do not run for it but just walk for it calmly and pray whatever you get, and complete whatever is missed."

Similar Hadith here.

Volume 2, Book 13, Number 730:

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Abi Qatada on the authority of his father:

The Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, "Do not stand up (for prayer) unless you see me, and observe calmness and solemnity".

Similar Hadith here.

Volume 2, Book 13, Number 731:

Narrated Salman Al-Farsi:

Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) said, "Anyone who takes a bath on Friday and cleans himself as much as he can and puts oil (on his hair) or scents himself; and then proceeds for the prayer and does not force his way between two persons (assembled in the mosque for the Friday prayer), and prays as much as is written for him and remains quiet when the Imam delivers the Khutba, all his sins in between the present and the last Friday will be forgiven."

Sacred things and places demand solemnity and calmness. Behave yourselves in mosques! :P
Physical calmness will lead to mental calmness. And/or vice versa. I don't care what their version of inner calmness is (referring to the above image), but it is the prayer you get the real inner calmness from. Give all these 6 things to prayer and see for yourself. For real for real!
There is no number 3.
