ابن ماجہ #2955
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَی حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ عَنْ أَشْعَثَ بْنِ أَبِي الشَّعْثَائِ عَنْ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ الْحِجْرِ فَقَالَ هُوَ مِنْ الْبَيْتِ قُلْتُ مَا مَنَعَهُمْ أَنْ يُدْخِلُوهُ فِيهِ فَقَالَ عَجَزَتْ بِهِمْ النَّفَقَةُ قُلْتُ فَمَا شَأْنُ بَابِهِ مُرْتَفِعًا لَا يُصْعَدُ إِلَيْهِ إِلَّا بِسُلَّمٍ قَالَ ذَلِکَ فِعْلُ قَوْمِکِ لِيُدْخِلُوهُ مَنْ شَائُوا وَيَمْنَعُوهُ مَنْ شَائُوا وَلَوْلَا أَنَّ قَوْمَکِ حَدِيثُ عَهْدٍ بِکُفْرٍ مَخَافَةَ أَنْ تَنْفِرَ قُلُوبُهُمْ لَنَظَرْتُ هَلْ أُغَيِّرُهُ فَأُدْخِلَ فِيهِ مَا انْتَقَصَ مِنْهُ وَجَعَلْتُ بَابَهُ بِالْأَرْضِ
It was narrated that Aishah said: "I asked the Messenger of Allah about the Hijr, and he said: 'It is part of the House.' I said: 'What kept them from incorporating it into it?' He said: 'They ran out of funds.' I said: 'Why is its door so high up that it can only be reached with a ladder?' He said: 'That is what your people did so that they could let in whoever they wanted and keep out whoever they wanted. Were it not that your people have so recently left disbelief behind, and I am afraid that it would bother them, I would have changed it, incorporating what they left out and I would put its door at ground level." (Sahih)
عَائِشَةَ ← الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، ← أَشْعَثَ بْنِ أَبِي الشَّعْثَائِ ← شَيْبَانُ، ← عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى ← أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ
