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."

Proppet) asking for a religious verdict. Fadl looked at her

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.

Bk 7, Number 3090:

Fadl reported that a woman of Banu Khath'am said: Messenger of

boy to him and said: Would this child be credited with having

performed the Hajj? Thereupon he said: Yes, and you will have

a reward.

Bk 7, Number 3092:

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

forbid you to do anything, then abandon it.

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.

place). She came to Maimuna. the wife of Allah's Apostle (may

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.

called to him and said: What is this that I hear you making

mention of Mecca and its inhabitants and its sacredness, but

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

them if they knew. No one leaves it through dislike of it

him; and no one will stay there in spite of its hardships and

distress without my being an intercessor or witness on behalf

of him on the Day of Resurrection.

Messenger (may peace be upon him) whenever he got down from

which is hanging by the sheath of the sword contains but the

ages of the camels, and the nature of the wounds. He (Hadrat

'Ali) reported Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) as

saying: Medina is sacred from 'Air to Thaur; So if anyone

makes an innovation or accommodates an innovator, the curse of

Allah, the angels, and all persons will fall upon him, and

recompense from them. And the protection granted by the

Muslims is one and must be respected by the humblest of them.

us in our mudd. O Allah, Ibrahim was Thy servant, Thy friend,

and Thy apostle; and I am Thy servant and Thy apostle. He

(Ibrahim) made supplication to Thee for (the showering of

for some nights. There the people said: By Allah, we are lying

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

By Him (in Whose name) we take oath and (in Whose name) oath
