'A'isha (Allaah be pleased with her), wife of Allaah's Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam), heard Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) as saying: If your people, had not been recent converts to Islam, I would have spent the treasure of the Ka'ba in the way of Allaah and would have constructed its door just on the level of the ground and would have encompassed in it the space of Hijr.
