Narrated ‘Aisha:
(The wife of the Prophet) Allah’s Apostle said, “Don’t you see that when your people built the Ka’ba,
they did not build it on all Abraham’s foundations?” I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Why don’t you rebuild
it on Abraham’s foundations?” He said, “Were your people not so close to (the period of Heathenism,
i.e. the Period between their being Muslims and being infidels), I would do so.” The sub-narrator,
‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar said, “Aisha had surely heard Allah’s Apostle saying that, for I do not think that
Allah’s Apostle left touching the two corners of the Ka’ba facing Al-Hijr except because the Ka’ba was
not built on all Abraham’s foundations.”

(Muhammad), After being wounded, For those of them Who did good deeds And refrained from

She said to ‘Urwa, “O my nephew! Your father, Az-Zubair and Abu Bakr were amongst them (i.e.
those who responded to the call of Allah and the Apostle on the day (of the battle of Uhud). When
Allah’s Apostle, suffered what he suffered on the day of Uhud and the pagans left, the Prophet was
afraid that they might return. So he said, ‘Who will go on their (i.e. pagans’) track?’ He then selected

Zubair were amongst them.”)

Apostle rather than to my own Kith and kin.”

ted sons) By (the names of) their fathers.” (33.5)

The day of Bu’ath was a day (i.e. battle) which Allah caused to take place just before the mission of
