Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: 'A'isha, if
your people had not been recently polytheists (and new
converts to Islam), I would have demolished the Ka'ba, and
would have brought it to the level of the ground and would
have constructed two doors, one facing the east and the other
one to the west, and would have added to it six cubits of area
from Hijr, for the Quraish had reduced it when they rebuilt
it.
Bk 7, Number 3083:
'Ata' reported: The House was burnt during the time of Yazid
b. Muawiya when the people of Syria had fought (in Mecca). And
it happened with it (the Ka'ba) what was (in store for it).
Ibn Zubair (Allah be pleased with him) felt it (in the same
state) until the people came in the season (of Hajj). (The
idea behind was) that he wanted to exhort them or incite them
(to war) against the people of Syria. When the people had
arrived he said to them: O people, advise me about the Ka'ba.
Should I demolish it and then build it from its very
foundation, or should I repair whatever has been damaged of
it? Ibn 'Abbas said: An idea has occurred to me according to
which I think that you should only repair (the portion which
has been) damaged, and leave the House (in that very state in
which) people embraced Islam (and leave those very stones in
the same state) when people embraced Islam, and over which
Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) had raised it.
Thereupon Ibn Zubair said: It the house of any one of you is
burnt, he would not be contented until he had reconstructed
it, then what about the House of your Lord (which is far more
Important than your house)? I would seek good advice from my
Lord thrice and then I would make up (my mind) about this
affair. After seeking good advice thrice, he made up his mind
to demolish it. The people apprehended that calamity might
fall from heaven on those persons who would be first to climb
(over the building for the purpose of demolishing it), till
one (took up courage, and ascended the roof), and threw down
one of its stones. When the people saw no calamity befalling
him, they followed him, demolished it until it was razed to
the ground. Then Ibn Zubair erected pillars and hung cartains
on them (in order to provide facilities to the people for
observing the time of its construction). And the walls were
raised; and Ibn Zubair said: I heard 'A'isha (Allah be pleased
with her) say that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) had
observed: If the people had Rot recently (abandoned) unbelief,
find I had means enough to reconstruct it, which I had not, I
would have definitely excompassed in it five cubits of area
from Hijr. And I would also have constructed a door for the
people to enter, and a door for their exit. I today have (the
means to spend) and I entertain no fearfrom the side of people
(that they would protest against this change). So he added
five cubits of area from the side of Hatim to it that there
appeared (the old) foundation (upon which Hadrat Ibrahim had
built the Ka'ba). and the people saw that and it was upon this
foundation that the wall was raised. The length of the Ka'ba
was eighteen cubits. when addition was made to it (which was
in its breadth), then naturally the length appears to be)
small (as compared with its breadth). Then addition of ten
cubits (of area) was made in its length (also). Two doors were
also constructed, one of which (was meant) for entrance and
the other one for exit. When Ibn Zubair (Allah be pleased with
him) was killed, Hajjaj wrote to 'Abd al−Malik (b. Marwan)
informing him about it, and telling him that Ibn Zubair (Allah
be pleased with him) had built (the Ka'ba) on those very
foundations (which were laid by Ibrahim) and which reliable
persons among the Meccans had seen. 'Abd al−Malik wrote to
him: We are not concerned with the censuring of Ibn Zubair in
anything. Keep intact the addition made by him in the side of
length, and whatever he has added frem the side of Hijr revert
to (its previous) foundation, and wall up the door which he
had opened. Thus Hajjaj at the command of Abd al−Malik)
demolished it (that portion) and rebuilt it on (its previous)
foundations.
Bk 7, Number 3084:
Abdullah b. 'Ubaid reported that Harith b. 'Abdullah led a
deputation to 'Abd al−Malik b. Marwan during his caliphate.
'Abd al−Malik said: I do riot think that Abu Khubaib (i. e.
Ibn Zabair) had heard from 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her)
(about the intended wish of the Holy Prophet [may peace be
upon him) In regard to the alteration of the Ka'ba). Harith
said: Yes, I myself did hear from her. He ('Abd al−Malik)
said: Well, tell me what you heard from her. He stated that
she (Hadrat 'A'isha) had said that Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) remarked: Verily your people have reduced
(the area) of the House from its (original foundations, and if
they had not recently abandoned polytheism (and embraced
Islam) I would have reversed it to (those foundations) which
they had left out of it. nd if your people would take
initiative after me in rebuilding it, then come along with me
so that I should show you what they have left out of it. He
showed her about fifteen cubits of area from the side of Hatim
(that they had separated). This is the narration transmitted
by 'Abdullah b. Ubaid. Walid b. 'Ata' has, however, made this
addition to it:" Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) said:
I would have made two doors on the level of the ground
(facing) the east and the west. Do you know why your people
raised the level of its door (i. e. the door of the Ka'ba)?
She said: No. He said: (They did it) out of vanity so that
(they might be in a position) to grant admittance to him only
whom they wished. When a person intended to get into it, they
let him climb (the stairs), and as he was about to enter, they
pushed him and he fell down." 'Abd al−Malik said to Harith;
Did you yourself hear her saying this? He said: Yes. He
(Harith) said that he ('Abd al−Malik) scratched the ground
with his staff for some time and then said: I wish I had left
his (Ibn Zubair's) work there.
Bk 7, Number 3085:
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Juraij with
the same chain of transmitters.
Bk 7, Number 3086:
Abu Qaza'ah reported that while Abd al−Malik b. Marwan was
circumambulating the Ka'ba he said: May Allah ruin Ibn Zubair
that he lies in attributing to the Mother of the Faithful, as
he says: I heard her stating that Allah's Messenger (may'peace
be upon him) had said: 'A'isha, if your people had not been
new converts to Islam, I would have demolished the House and
would have added (in it area) from the Hijr for your people
have reduced the area from its foundations. Harith b.
'Abdullah b. Abu Rabi'a (Allah be pleased with him) said:
Commander of the Faithful, don't say that, for I heard the
Mother of the Faithful saying this, whereupon he said: If I
had heard this before demolishing it, I would have left it in
the state in which Ibn Zabair had built it.
Chapter 68: THE WALL OF THE KA'BA AND ITS DOOR
Bk 7, Number 3087:
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: I asked Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) about the wall,
circumpassing the House (i. e. whether the wall on the side of
Hijr was included in the Ka'ba). He said, Yes. I said: Then
why did they not include it in the House? He said: 'Your
people ran short of the means (to do so). I said: Why is it
that the level of its door is raised high? He said: Your
people did it so that they should admit one whom they liked,
and forbid him whom they disliked, and if your people were not
new converts to faith, and I did not apprehend that their
hearts would feel agitated at this. I would have definitely
included (the area of) this wall−in the House and would have
brought the door to the level of the ground.
Bk 7, Number 3088:
'A'isha reported: I asked Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) about Hijr, and the rest of the hadith is the same. I
also said: Why is it that the door has been made on a higher
level, and one cannot (get into it) but with the help of a
ladder? The rest of the hadith is the same as reported above
and the concluding words are: (I do not change it) out of the
apprehension that their hearts may disapprove of it."

and she looked at him. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) turned the face of al−Fadl to the other side. She said:
Messenger of Allah, there is an obligation from Allah upon His
servants in regard to Hajj. (But) my father is an aged man; he
is incapable of riding safely. May I perform Hajj on his
behalf? He said: Yes. It was during the Farewell Pilgrimage.

a reward.

be performed) every year? He (the Holy Prophet) kept quiet,
and he repeated (these words) thrice, whereupon Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: If I were to say"
Yes," it would become obligatory (for you to perform it every
year) and you would not be able to do it. Then he said: Leave
me with what I have left to you, for those who were before you
were desroyed because of excessive questioning, and their
opposition to their apostles. So when I command you to do
anything, do it as much as it lies in your power and when I

upon him) said on the day following, the Conquest which my
ears heard and my heart has retained, and my eyes saw as he
spoke it. He praised Allah and extolled Him and then said:
Allah, not men, has made Mecca sacred; so it is not
permissible for any person believing in Allah and the Last Day
to shed blood in it, or lop a tree in it. If anyone seeks a
concession on the basis of fighting of Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him), tell him that Allah permitted His
Messenger, but not you, and He gave him permission only for an
hour on one day, and its sacredness was restored on the very
day like that of yesterday. Let him who is present convey the
information to him who is absent. It was said to Abu Shuraih:
What did Amr say to you? He said: I am better informed of that
than you, Abu Shuraih, but the sacred territory does not grant
protection to one who is disobedient, or one who runs away
after shedding blood, or one who runs away after committing
Bk 7, Number 3142:
Abu Huraira, (Allah be pleased with him) reported. When Allah,
the Exalted and Majestic, granted Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him) victory over Mecca, he stood before people and
praised and extolled Allah and then said: Verily Allah held
back the elephants from Mecca and gave the domination of it to
His Messenger and believers, and it (this territory) was not
violable to anyone before me and it was made violable to me
for an hour of a day, and it shall not be violable to anyone
after me. So neither molest the game, nor weed out thorns from
it. And it is not lawful for anyone to pick up a thing dropped
but one who makes public announcement of it. And it a relative
of anyone is killed he is entitled to opt for one of two
things. Either he should be paid blood−money or he can take
life as (a just retribution). 'Abbas (Allah be pleased with
him) said: Allah's Messenger, but Idhkhir (a kind of herbage),
for we use it for our graves and for our houses, whereupon
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: With the
exception of Idhkhir. A person known as Abu Shah, one of the
people of Yemen, stood up and said: Messenger of Allah,
(kindly) write it for me. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) said I Write it for Abu Shah. Walid said: I
asked al−Auzai': What did his saying mean:" Write it for me,
Messenger of Allah"? He said: This very address that he had
heard from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him).
Bk 7, Number 3143:
Abu Huraira (Allah be pleased with him) reported: The people
of the Khuza'ah tribe killed a man of the tribe of Laith in
the Year of Victory as a retaliation for one whom they had
killed (whom the people of the tribe of Laith had killed). It
was reported to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him). He
mounted his camel and delivered this address: Verily Allah,
the Exalted and Majestic, held back the Ele− phants from
Mecca, and gave its domination to His Messenger and believers.
Behold, it was not violable for anyone before me and it will
not be violable for anyone after me. Behold, it was made
violable for me for an hour of a day; and at this very hour it
has again been made inviolable (for me as well as for others).
So its thorns are not to be cut, its trees are not to be
lopped, and (no one is allowed to) pick up a thing dropped,
but the one who makes an announcement of it. And one whose
fellow is killed is allowed to opt between two alternatives:
either he should receive blood−money or get the life of the
(murderer) in return. He (the narrator said): A person from
the Yemen, who was called Abu Shah, came to him and said:
Messenger of Allah, write it down for me, whereupon he
(Allah's Messenger) said: Write it down for Abu Shah. One of
the persons from among the Quraish also said: Except Idhkhir,
for we use it in our houses ant our graves. Thereupon Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Except Idhkhir.

peace be upon him). and after greeting her she informed her
about it, whereupon she said: Stay here. and eat the provision
(which you had made) and observe prayer In the mosque of the
Messenger (may peace be upon him). for I heard Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) say: Prayer in it is better
than a thousand prayers observed in other mosques except the
mosque of the Ka'ba.

you did not make mention of Medina and its inhabitants and its
sacredness, while the Apostle of Allah (may peace be upon him)
has also declared sacred (the area) between its two lava lands

here idle, whereas our children are unprotected behind us, and
we do not feel secure about them. This (apprehension of
theirs) reached Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him),
whereupon he said: What is this matter concerning you that has
reached me? (I do not retain how he said it, whether he said
like this: ) By Him (in the name of Whom) I take oath, (or he
said like this: ) By Him in Whose Hand is my life, I made up
my mind or if you like (I do not retain what word did he
actually say), I should command my camel to proceed and not to
let it halt until it comes to Medina and then said: Ibrahim
declared Mecca as the sacred territory and it became sacred,
and I declare Medina as the sacred territory−the area between
the two mountains ('Air and Uhud). Thus no blood is to be shed
within its (bounds) and no weapon is to be carried for
fighting, and the leaves of the trees there should not be
beaten off except for fodder. O Allah, bless us in our city; O
Allab, bless us in our sil; O Allah, bless us in our mudd; O
Allah, bless us in our sa; O Allah, bless us in our mudd. O
Allah, bless us in our city. O Allah, bless with this blessing
two more blessings. By Him in Whose Hand is my life, there is
no ravine or mountain path of Medina which is not protected by
two angels until you reach there. (He then said to the people:
) Proceed, and we, therefore, proceeded and we came to Medina
