English translation
[3242] 399 - (...) It was narrated from 'Aishah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Do you not see that when your people rebuilt the Ka'bah, they made it smaller than the foundations of Ibrâhîm?" She said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allāh, why don't you restore it or the foundations of Ibrāhīm?' The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Were it not that your people have only recently left disbelief behind, I would have done that.'" ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Umar said: "If ‘Āishah heard this from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, I would not think that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ stopped touching the two corners that are next to the Hījr, except that the House was not completed on the foundations of Ibrāhīm."
