Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو النُّعْمَانِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ دِينَارٍ، وَعُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي يَزِيدَ، قَالاَ لَمْ يَكُنْ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم حَوْلَ الْبَيْتِ حَائِطٌ، كَانُوا يُصَلُّونَ حَوْلَ الْبَيْتِ، حَتَّى كَانَ عُمَرُ، فَبَنَى حَوْلَهُ حَائِطًا ـ قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ ـ جَدْرُهُ قَصِيرٌ، فَبَنَاهُ ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ.
Translation
Abu al-Nuʿman narrated to us: Hammad ibn Zayd narrated to us, from ʿAmr ibn Dinar and ʿUbaydullah ibn Abi Yazid, who both said: In the Prophet’s time, there was no wall around the House; people prayed around it. That continued until ʿUmar built a wall around it. ʿUbaydullah said it was a low wall; Ibn al-Zubayr then built it.
