[3250] 406 - (...) It was narrated that ‘Āishah’ said: “I asked the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ about the Hijr...” and he quoted a Hadīth like that of Abū Al-Ahwaṣ (no. 3249), and he said in it: “I (‘Āishah’) said: ‘Why is its door so high that it can only be reached by a ladder?’ And he (ﷺ) said: ‘For fear of causing resentment in their hearts.’”
