The questioner: There is no evidence for it, and this is an exaltation of it.
The Shaykh:
He exalts it.
The questioner:
Allah, Exalted is He.
The Shaykh:
With the permission of Allah the Exalted. It is said that 'Abd al-Malik intended by this to compete with Ibn al-Zubayr, because Ibn al-Zubayr built the Ka'bah, so he wanted to build on the Rock for the sake of competition, and Allah knows best, but may Allah pardon him and forgive him.
The presenter:
Yes.
