2906. It was narrated from 'Āishah that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said to her: "O 'Āishah, were it not for the fact that your people have recently left Jāhiliyyah, I would have commanded that the House be knocked down, and I would have incorporated into it what was left out of it. I would have made its (door) in level with the ground and I would have given it two doors, an eastern door and a western door. For they built it too small, and by doing this, it would have been built on the foundations of Ibrâhîm, peace be upon him." He (one of the narrators) said: "This is what motivated Ibn Az-Zubair to knock it down." Yazîd said: "I saw Ibn Az-Zubair when he knocked it down and rebuilt it, and included part of the Hîjr in it. And I saw the foundations of Ibrâhîm, peace be upon him, stones like the humps of camels joined to one another." (Sahih)

Commentary
"A portion of the Hijr": The entire Hijr is nevertheless a part of the House of Allāh. Some of its portion is outside. Nowadays also markings have been put on this place on the wall of the Hijr or the Hatim; up to the point which forms the part of the House of Allāh.
