"And (remember) when Ibrāhīm (Abraham) and (his son) Isma'il (Ishmael) were raising the foundations of the House (Ka'bah at Makkah) (saying): 'Our Lord! Accept (this service) from us. Verily! You are the All-Hearer, the All-Knower'." (V.2:127)

4484. Narrated 'Aishah رضي الله عنها the wife of the Prophet ﷺ: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "Don't you see that when your people built the Ka'bah, they did not built it on all Ibrāhīm's (Abraham's) foundations (i.e., the original foundations laid by Ibrāhīm)?" I said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Why don't you rebuild it on Ibrāhīm's foundations?" He said, "Were your people not so close to the period of heathenism, (i.e., the period between their being Muslims and being infidels), I would do so." The subnarrator, 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar said, "'Aishah had surely heard Allāh's Messenger ﷺ saying that, for I do not think that Allāh's Messenger ﷺ left touching the two corners of the Ka'bah facing Al-Hijr except because the Ka'bah was not built on all Abraham's foundations."

4484 - حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، أَخْبَرَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا، زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «أَلَمْ تَرَيْ أَنْ قَوْمَكِ بَنَوْا الكَعْبَةَ، وَاقْتَصَرُوا عَنْ قَوَاعِدِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ». فَقُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلاَ تَرُدُّهَا عَلَى قَوَاعِدِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ؟ قَالَ: «لَوْلاَ حِدْثَانُ قَوْمِكِ بِالكُفْرِ» فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ: «لَئِنْ كَانَتْ عَائِشَةُ سَمِعَتْ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، مَا أُرَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَرَكَ اسْتِلاَمَ الرُّكْنَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ يَلِيَانِ الحِجْرَ، إِلَّا أَنَّ البَيْتَ لَمْ يُتَمَّمْ عَلَى قَوَاعِدِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ»
