English translation

[3249] 405 - (...) It was narratedthat 'Aîshah said: "I asked theMessenger of Allâh ﷺ about thewall (meaning, the Hîjr), is it partof the Ka'bah?" He said: "Yes."I said: "Why did they not includeit in the House?" He said: "Your people ran short of funds.” I said: “Why is its door so high?” He said: “Your people did that so that they could admit whomever they wanted, and keep out whomever they wanted. Were it not that your people have only recently left Jāhiliyyah behind, and I am afraid that they would resent it, I was thinking of incorporating the wall into the House, and making its door at ground level.”

Arabic text

405 - (1333) حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَشْعَثُ بْنُ أَبِي الشَّعْثَاءِ، عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الْجَدْرِ أَمِنَ الْبَيْتِ هُوَ؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ»، قُلْتُ: فَلِمَ لَمْ يُدْخِلُوهُ فِي الْبَيْتِ؟ قَالَ: «إِنَّ قَوْمَكِ قَصَّرَتْ بِهِمِ النَّفَقَةُ»، قُلْتُ: فَمَا شَأْنُ بَابِهِ مُرْتَفِعًا؟ قَالَ: «فَعَلَ ذَلِكِ قَوْمُكِ لِيُدْخِلُوا مَنْ شَاءُوا، وَيَمْنَعُوا مَنْ شَاءُوا، وَلَوْلَا أَنَّ قَوْمَكِ حَدِيثٌ عَهْدُهُمْ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، فَأَخَافُ أَنْ تُنْكِرَ قُلُوبُهُمْ، لَنَظَرْتُ أَنْ أُدْخِلَ الْجَدْرَ فِي الْبَيْتِ، وَأَنْ أُلْزِقَ بَابَهُ بِالْأَرْضِ»،
