و حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ مَهْدِيٍّ حَدَّثَنَا سَلِيمُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مِينَائَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ يَقُولُ حَدَّثَتْنِي خَالَتِي يَعْنِي عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَا عَائِشَةُ لَوْلَا أَنَّ قَوْمَکِ حَدِيثُو عَهْدٍ بِشِرْکٍ لَهَدَمْتُ الْکَعْبَةَ فَأَلْزَقْتُهَا بِالْأَرْضِ وَجَعَلْتُ لَهَا بَابَيْنِ بَابًا شَرْقِيًّا وَبَابًا غَرْبِيًّا وَزِدْتُ فِيهَا سِتَّةَ أَذْرُعٍ مِنْ الْحِجْرِ فَإِنَّ قُرَيْشًا اقْتَصَرَتْهَا حَيْثُ بَنَتْ الْکَعْبَةَ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 3244
A'isha (Allah be pleased with her), wife of Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), heard Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: If your people, had not been recent converts to Islam, I would have spent the treasure of the Ka'ba in the way of Allah and would have constructed its door just on the level of the ground and would have encompassed in it the space of Hijr.
