Volume 2, Book 26, Number 654: Narrated 'Aisha: I asked the Prophet whether the round wall (near Ka'ba) was part of the
Ka'ba. The Prophet replied in the affirmative. I further said, "What is
wrong with them, why have they not included it in the building of the
Ka'ba?" He said, "Don't you see that your people (Quraish) ran
short of money (so they could not include it inside the building of
Ka'ba)?" I asked, "What about its gate? Why is it so high?"
He replied, "Your people did this so as to admit into it whomever they
liked and prevent whomever they liked. Were your people not close to the
Pre-lslamic Period of ignorance (i.e. they have recently embraced Islam) and
were I not afraid that they would dislike it, surely I would have included
the (area of the) wall inside the building of the Ka'ba and I would have
lowered its gate to the level of the ground."
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 655:
Narrated 'Aisha: Allah's Apostle said to me, "Were your people not close to the
Pre-lslamic period of ignorance, I would have demolished the Ka'ba and would
have rebuilt it on its original foundations laid by Abraham (for Quraish had
curtailed its building), and I would have built a back door (too)."
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 656:
Narrated Yazid bin Ruman from 'Urwa: 'Aisha said that the Prophet said to her, "O Aisha! Were your nation
not close to the Pre-lslamic Period of Ignorance, I would have had the Ka'ba
demolished and would have included in it the portion which had been left,
and would have made it at a level with the ground and would have made two
doors for it, one towards the east and the other towards the west, and then
by doing this it would have been built on the foundations laid by
Abraham." That was what urged Ibn-Az-Zubair to demolish the Ka'ba. Jazz
said, "I saw Ibn-Az-Zubair when he demolished and rebuilt the Ka'ba and
included in it a portion of Al-Hijr (the unroofed portion of Ka'ba which is
at present in the form of a compound towards the north-west of the Ka'ba). I
saw the original foundations of Abraham which were of stones resembling the
humps of camels." So Jarir asked Yazid, "Where was the place of
those stones?" Jazz said, "I will just now show it to you."
So Jarir accompanied Yazid and entered Al-Hijr, and Jazz pointed to a place
and said, "Here it is." Jarir said, "It appeared to me about
six cubits from Al-Hijr or so."
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 657:
Narrated Ibn Abbas: On the Day of the Conquest of Mecca, Allah's Apostle said, "Allah
has made this town a sanctuary. Its thorny bushes should not be cut, its
game should not be chased, and its fallen things should not be picked up
except by one who would announce it publicly."
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 658:
Narrated 'Usama bin Zaid: I asked, "O Allah's Apostle! Where will you stay in Mecca? Will you
stay in your house in Mecca?" He replied, "Has 'Aqil left any
property or house?" Aqil along with Talib had inherited the property of
Abu Talib. Jafar and Ali did not inherit anything as they were Muslims and
the other two were non-believers. 'Umar bin Al-Khattab used to say, "A
believer cannot inherit (anything from an) infidel." Ibn Shihab, (a
sub-narrator) said, "They (Umar and others) derived the above verdict
from Allah's Statement: "Verily! those who believed and Emigrated and
strove with their life And property in Allah's Cause, And those who helped
(the emigrants) And gave them their places to live in, These are (all)
allies to one another." (8.72)
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 659:
Narrated Abu Huraira: When Allah's Apostle intended to enter Mecca he said, "Our
destination tomorrow, if Allah wished, will be Khaif Bani Kinana where (the
pagans) had taken the oath of Kufr." (Against the Prophet i.e. to be
loyal to heathenism by boycotting Bani Ha shim, the Prophets folk) (See
Hadith No. 221 Vol. 5)
Volume 2, Book 26, Number 660:
Narrated Abu Huraira: On the Day of Nahr at Mina, the Prophet said, "Tomorrow we shall
stay at Khaif Bani Kinana where the pagans had taken the oath of Kufr
(heathenism)." He meant (by that place) Al-Muhassab where the Quraish
tribe and Bani Kinana concluded a contract against Bani Hashim and Bani
'Abdul-Muttalib or Bani Al-Muttalib that they would not intermarry with them
or deal with them in business until they handed over the Prophet to them.
