English translation

[3244] 401 - (...) 'Abdullâh bin Az-Zubair said: "My maternal aunt" - meaning 'Aîshah - "told me: 'The Prophet ﷺ said: "O 'Aîshah, were it not that your people have only recently left Shirk behind, I would have demolished the Ka'bah and razed it to the ground (and rebuilt it). And I would have given it two doors; an eastern door and a western door, and I would have added six cubits of the Hîjr to it, for Quraish reduced its size when they rebuilt the Ka'bah."

Arabic text

401 - (1333) وحَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا سَلِيمُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ، عَنْ سَعِيدٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مِينَاءَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ، يَقُولُ: حَدَّثَتْنِي خَالَتِي، يَعْنِي عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " يَا عَائِشَةُ، لَوْلَا أَنَّ قَوْمَكِ حَدِيثُو عَهْدٍ بِشِرْكٍ، لَهَدَمْتُ الْكَعْبَةَ، فَأَلْزَقْتُهَا بِالْأَرْضِ، وَجَعَلْتُ لَهَا بَابَيْنِ: بَابًا شَرْقِيًّا، وَبَابًا غَرْبِيًّا، وَزِدْتُ فِيهَا سِتَّةَ أَذْرُعٍ مِنَ الْحِجْرِ، فَإِنَّ قُرَيْشًا اقْتَصَرَتْهَا حَيْثُ بَنَتِ الْكَعْبَةَ "
