Hadith 2118

وَقَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ عَوْفٍ : لَمَّا قَدِمْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ ، قُلْتُ : هَلْ مِنْ سُوقٍ فِيهِ تِجَارَةٌ ؟ قَالَ : سُوقُ قَيْنُقَاعَ ، وَقَالَ أَنَسٌ : قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ : دُلُّونِي عَلَى السُّوقِ ، وَقَالَ عُمَرُ : أَلْهَانِي الصَّفْقُ بِالْأَسْوَاقِ .
And Abdur-Rahman bin Awf, may Allah be pleased with him, said that when we came to Madinah, I asked (my Islamic brother) if there was any market here. Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, narrated that Abdur-Rahman bin Awf, may Allah be pleased with him, said, "Show me the market." And Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, once said that trading in the market kept me preoccupied.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّاءَ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سُوقَةَ ، عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ مُطْعِمٍ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَتْنِي عَائِشَةُ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ، قَالَتْ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " يَغْزُو جَيْشٌ الْكَعْبَةَ ، فَإِذَا كَانُوا بِبَيْدَاءَ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ يُخْسَفُ بِأَوَّلِهِمْ وَآخِرِهِمْ ، قَالَتْ : قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، كَيْفَ يُخْسَفُ بِأَوَّلِهِمْ وَآخِرِهِمْ ، وَفِيهِمْ أَسْوَاقُهُمْ وَمَنْ لَيْسَ مِنْهُمْ ؟ قَالَ : يُخْسَفُ بِأَوَّلِهِمْ وَآخِرِهِمْ ، ثُمَّ يُبْعَثُونَ عَلَى نِيَّاتِهِمْ " .
Narrated `Aisha: Allah's Apostle said, "An army will invade the Ka`ba and when the invaders reach Al-Baida', all the ground will sink and swallow the whole army." I said, "O Allah's Apostle! How will they sink into the ground while amongst them will be their markets (the people who worked in business and not invaders) and the people not belonging to them?" The Prophet replied, "all of those people will sink but they will be resurrected and judged according to their intentions."

Thus, from this it is established that there were marketplaces inside the Ka‘bah.
This is precisely the objective of the chapter.

Shaykh Abdul Sattar al-Hammad
Hadith Commentary:
(1)
According to this hadith, the existence of marketplaces or shopkeepers working in the marketplace at the location of Bayda’ is established. Imam Bukhari rahimahullah has mentioned this hadith solely to establish this point.
(2)
Although there is noise and commotion in the marketplace, there is no harm if respectable people go there to fulfill their needs.
(3)
It is also understood from this hadith that associating with evil and troublemaking people is itself a prelude to one’s own destruction.
(4)
In some narrations, the words "ashrafahum" (their nobles) are found; on this basis, an objection of scribal error (tasheef) has been raised regarding the words "aswaafahum" (their markets) as stated by Bukhari, but this is not based on reality.
