عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنَ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((أَلَمْ تَرَيْ إِلَى قَوْمِكِ حِينَ بَنَوُا الْكَعْبَةَ، اقْتَصَرُوا عَنْ قَوَاعِدِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام؟)) قَالَتْ: قُلْتُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَفَلَا تَرُدُّهَا عَلَى قَوَاعِدِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ((لَوْ لَا حِدْثَانُ قَوْمِكِ بِالْكُفْرِ)) قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ: فَوَاللَّهِ لَئِنْ كَانَتْ عَائِشَةُ سَمِعَتْ ذَلِكَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا أُرَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَرَكَ الرُّكْنَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ يَلِيَانِ الْحِجْرَ إِلَّا أَنَّ الْبَيْتَ لَمْ يُتَمَّمْ عَلَى قَوَاعِدِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام إِرَادَةً أَنْ تَسْتَوْعِبَ النَّاسُ الطَّوَافَ بِالْبَيْتِ كُلِّهِ مِنْ وَرَاءِ قَوَاعِدِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام
It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "Do you not know that when your people, the Quraysh, rebuilt the House of Allah, they were unable to build it upon the foundations of Ibrahim (peace be upon him)?" I said: "So why do you not rebuild it upon the foundations of Ibrahim (peace be upon him)?" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If your people had not only recently abandoned disbelief, I would have done so." Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By Allah! If Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) heard this from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), then I think that since the House of Allah was not built upon the foundations of Ibrahim (peace be upon him), that is why the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not touch the two corners of the House of Allah on the side of Hatim. In this matter, his intention would have been that when people perform Tawaf of the House of Allah, they complete the circuit of the entire House of Allah built upon the foundations of Ibrahim (peace be upon him).
