رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا: 'Aishah 1586. Narrated 'Urwa: 'O Aishah! Were your people not close to the Period of Ignorance, I would have had the Ka'bah demolished and would have included in it the portion which had been left, and would have made it at a level with the ground and would have made two doors for it; one towards the east and the other towards the west, and then by doing this it would have been built on the foundations laid by (the Prophet) Ibrāhīm (Abraham).'" That was what urged Ibn-Az-Zubair when he demolished and rebuilt the Ka'bah and included in it a portion of Al-Hijr (the unroofed portion of Ka'bah which is at present in the form of a compound towards the north-west of the Ka'bah). I saw the original foundations laid by Ibrāhīm which were of stones resembling the humps of camels." So Jarīr asked Yazīd, "Where was the place of those stones?" Yazīd said, "I will just now show it to you." So Jarīr accompanied Yazīd and entered Al-Hijr, and Yazīd pointed to a place and said, "Here it is." Jarīr said, "It appeared to me about six cubits from Al-Hijr or so."

1586 - حَدَّثَنَا بَيَانُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ رُومَانَ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا: أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ لَهَا: «يَا عَائِشَةُ، لَوْلاَ أَنَّ قَوْمَكِ حَدِيثُ عَهْدٍ بِجَاهِلِيَّةٍ لَأَمَرْتُ بِالْبَيْتِ، فَهُدِمَ، فَأَدْخَلْتُ فِيهِ مَا أُخْرِجَ مِنْهُ، وَأَلْزَقْتُهُ بِالأَرْضِ، وَجَعَلْتُ لَهُ بَابَيْنِ، بَابًا شَرْقِيًّا، وَبَابًا غَرْبِيًّا، فَبَلَغْتُ بِهِ أَسَاسَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ»، فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي حَمَلَ ابْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا عَلَى هَدْمِهِ، قَالَ يَزِيدُ: وَشَهِدْتُ ابْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ حِينَ هَدَمَهُ، وَبَنَاهُ، وَأَدْخَلَ فِيهِ مِنَ الحِجْرِ، وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ أَسَاسَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ حِجَارَةً، كَأَسْنِمَةِ الإِبِلِ، قَالَ جَرِيرٌ: فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: أَيْنَ مَوْضِعُهُ؟ قَالَ: أُرِيكَهُ الآنَ، فَدَخَلْتُ مَعَهُ الحِجْرَ، فَأَشَارَ إِلَى مَكَانٍ، فَقَالَ: هَا هُنَا، قَالَ جَرِيرٌ: فَحَزَرْتُ مِنَ الحِجْرِ سِتَّةَ أَذْرُعٍ أَوْ نَحْوَهَا
