It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him), who says: My aunt, Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), related to me that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: If your people had not only recently abandoned polytheism or ignorance, that is, disbelief, I would have demolished the Ka'bah and leveled it with the ground, and I would have made two doors for it in such a way that one would be towards the east and the other towards the west, and I would have included a space of six cubits from the Hijr, that is, Hatim, into the House of Allah, because when the Quraysh rebuilt it, due to lack of resources, they could not include that part in the construction of the Ka'bah.
