The hour mentioned in the noble is the day of the Conquest of Mecca, and its time is estimated from sunrise until the Asr prayer. During this hour, fighting was permitted, but not the cutting of trees.
As for the 'Idhkir, it is a well-known, good-smelling herb found in the Hijaz, used for roofing houses.
