English

[3249] 405 – ( … ) It was narrated tii.j (. . •)_*Ø {] that 'Aishah said: "I asked the Messenger of Allah about the wall (meaning, the Hijr), is it part of the Ka'bah?" He said: "Yes." I said: "Why did they not include iL :i U it in the House?" He said: "Your people ran short of funds." I said: "Why is its door so high?" He said: "Your people did that so that they could admit whomever they wanted, and keep out whomever they wanted. Were it not that your people have only recently left Jâhiliyyah behind, and I am afraid that they would resent it, I was thinking of incorporating the wall into the House, and making its door at ground level."
