Volume 4, Book 55, Number 587:
Narrated ‘Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) Allah’s Apostle said (to her). “Don’t you see that when your folk built the
Ka’ba, they did not build it on all the foundations built by Abraham?” I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Why
don’t we rebuild it on the foundations of Abraham?” He said. “But for the fact that your folk have re –
cently given up infidelity (I would have done so).”
Narrated Ibn Umar: Aisha must have heard this from Allah’s Apostle for I see that Allah’s Apostle
used not to touch the two corners facing Al-Hijr only because the House had not been built on the
foundations of Abraham”
