Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ ابْنَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، أَخْبَرَ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنهم ـ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ أَلَمْ تَرَىْ أَنَّ قَوْمَكِ بَنَوُا الْكَعْبَةَ اقْتَصَرُوا عَنْ قَوَاعِدِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، أَلاَ تَرُدُّهَا عَلَى قَوَاعِدِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏"‏ لَوْلاَ حِدْثَانُ قَوْمِكِ بِالْكُفْرِ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ لَئِنْ كَانَتْ عَائِشَةُ سَمِعَتْ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَا أُرَى أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم تَرَكَ اسْتِلاَمَ الرُّكْنَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ يَلِيَانِ الْحِجْرَ إِلاَّ أَنَّ الْبَيْتَ لَمْ يُتَمَّمْ عَلَى قَوَاعِدِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ‏.‏ وَقَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ‏.‏

Translation

ʿAbd Allah ibn Yusuf informed us: Malik informed us, from Ibn Shihab, from Salim ibn ʿAbd Allah, that Ibn Abi Bakr informed ʿAbd Allah ibn ʿUmar, from ʿAʾisha (may Allah be pleased with her), the wife of the Prophet ﷺ, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Do you not see that when your people built the Kaʿba, they left out some of Ibrahim’s foundations?’ I said, ‘Messenger of Allah, why do you not restore it to Ibrahim’s foundations?’ He said, ‘Were it not that your people have only recently left disbelief…’ ʿAbd Allah ibn ʿUmar said: If ʿAʾisha heard this from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, then I think the Messenger of Allah ﷺ refrained from touching the two corners adjacent to al-Hijr only because the House had not been completed upon Ibrahim’s foundations. Ismaʿil said: ʿAbd Allah is Ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr.

Translation notes
  • Kept the Prophet’s unfinished conditional statement as an ellipsis and included Ibn ʿUmar’s inference and Ismaʿil’s identification of the narrator.
