English translation
2903. It was narrated from 'Aishah that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Don't you see that when your people (re)built the Ka'bah, they did not build it on all the foundations laid by Ibrâhîm, peace be upon him?" I said: "O Messenger of Allâh, why do you not rebuild it on the foundations of Ibrâhîm, peace be upon him?" He said: "Were it not for the fact that your people have recently left disbelief (I would have done so)." 'Abdullâh bin 'Umar said: "Aîshah heard this from the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, for I see that he would not touch the two corners facing Al-Hijr because the House was not built on the foundations of Ibrâhîm, peace be upon him." (Sahih)
