Abdullah ibn Maslamah narrated to us, from Malik, from Ibn Shihab, from Salim ibn Abdullah, that Abdullah ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr informed Abdullah ibn Umar, from Aishah, may Allah be pleased with them, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her: Did you not see that when your people rebuilt the Kaaba, they left out part of the foundations of Abraham? I said: Messenger of Allah, will you not restore it to the foundations of Abraham? He said: Were it not that your people have only recently left disbelief, I would do so. Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with him, said: If Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her, heard this from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I think he refrained from touching the two corners beside al-Hijr only because the House had not been completed on the foundations of Abraham.

Musaddad narrated to us; Abu al-Ahwas narrated to us; Ashath narrated to us, from al-Aswad ibn Yazid, from Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her, who said: I asked the Prophet ﷺ about the enclosure wall: Is it part of the House? He said: Yes. I asked: Why did they not include it inside the House? He said: Your people lacked the funds. I asked: Why is its door raised? He said: Your people did that so they could admit whomever they wished and keep out whomever they wished. Were it not that your people had only recently left the Age of Ignorance, and I feared that their hearts would reject it, I would include the enclosure wall within the House and bring its door down to ground level.

Ubayd ibn Ismail narrated to us; Abu Usamah narrated to us, from Hisham, from his father, from Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me: Were it not that your people have only recently left disbelief, I would demolish the House and rebuild it on the foundations of Abraham, for Quraysh shortened its construction.

Bayan ibn Amr narrated to us; Yazid narrated to us; Jarir ibn Hazim narrated to us; Yazid ibn Ruman narrated to us, from Urwah, from Aishah, may Allah be pleased with her: The Prophet ﷺ said to her: Aishah, were it not that your people have only recently left the Age of Ignorance, I would order the House to be demolished, bring inside it what was excluded, lower it to ground level, give it two doors, one on the east and one on the west, and build it on the foundations of Abraham. This is what led Ibn al-Zubayr, may Allah be pleased with them both, to demolish it. Yazid said: I witnessed Ibn al-Zubayr when he demolished and rebuilt it, and included part of al-Hijr within it. I saw the foundations of Abraham: stones like camel humps. Jarir said: I asked him where they were. He said: I will show you now. I went with him into al-Hijr, and he pointed to a place and said: Here. Jarir said: I estimated it to be about six cubits from al-Hijr, or thereabouts.

Asbagh narrated to us and said: Ibn Wahb informed me, from Yunus, from Ibn Shihab, from Ali ibn Husayn, from Amr ibn Uthman, from Usamah ibn Zayd, may Allah be pleased with them, who said: Messenger of Allah, where will you stay in your house in Mecca? He said: Has Aqil left any estates or houses? Aqil and Talib inherited Abu Talib, while neither Jaafar nor Ali, may Allah be pleased with them both, inherited anything from him, because the two of them were Muslims whereas Aqil and Talib were disbelievers. Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, used to say: A believer does not inherit from a disbeliever. Ibn Shihab said: They interpreted the words of Allah Most High in this way: Those who believed and emigrated and strove with their wealth and lives in the way of Allah, and those who gave shelter and support, they are allies of one another … [to the end of the verse].

Salamah, reporting from Uqayl, and Yahya ibn al-Dahhak, reporting from al-Awzai, said: Ibn Shihab informed me. Both said: Banu Hashim and Banu al-Muttalib. Abu Abdullah said: Banu al-Muttalib is more likely.
