Explanation of the Book of Hajj-05b

Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The reciter: Abdullah ibn Muslimah narrated to us from Malik, from Ibn Shihab, from Salim ibn Abdullah, that Abdullah ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr informed Abdullah ibn Umar about Aisha (may Allah be pleased with them), the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):

that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to her, "Do you know that when your people (Quraish) rebuilt the Ka`ba, they decreased it from its original foundation laid by Abraham?" I said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Why don't you rebuild it on its original foundation laid by Abraham?" He replied, "Were it not for the fact that your people are close to the Pre-Islamic Period of ignorance (i.e. they have recently become Muslims) I would have done so."

أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال لها ألم تري أن قومك لما بنوا الكعبة اقتصروا عن قواعد إبراهيم فقلت يا رسول الله ألا تردها على قواعد إبراهيم قال لولا حدثان قومك بالكفر لفعلت

Sahih al-Bukhari 1583

Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "If Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) heard this from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I do not think the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) left touching the two corners adjacent to the Hajar except that the House was not completed upon the foundations of Ibrahim."
