875. Al-Aswad bin Yazid narrated that Ibn Az-Zubair said to him: "Narrate to me from what the Mother of the Believers used to (secretly) inform you about" – meaning 'Aishah – so he said: "She narrated to me that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'Had your people not been still close to the pre-Islamic period of ignorance, then I would demolish the Ka'bah and rebuild it with two doors.'" He said:[1] "So when Ibn Az-Zubair came to power he demolished it and rebuilt it with two doors."(Sahih)

Imām Al-Bukhārī and others have deducted from this narration that if there is a possibility of the eruption of a disturbance or disagreement among the people by doing some recommended deed, then it should not be done, in order to save the people from the harm.
