قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ : أَخْبَرَنَا النَّضْرُ بْنُ شُمَيْلٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ عَرْعَرَةَ ، فَذَكَرَ قِصَّةً فِيهَا : ثُمَّ حَدَّثَ ، يَعْنِي : عَلِيًّا رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : إِنَّ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ أُمِرَ بِبِنَاءِ الْبَيْتِ ، فَضَاقَ بِهِ ذَرْعًا ، فَلَمْ يَدْرِ كَيْفَ يَبْنِي ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ السَّكِينَةَ وَهِيَ رِيحٌ خَجُوجٌ ، فَتَطَوَّقَتْ لَهُ مِثْلَ الْحَجَفَةِ فَبَنَى عَلَيْهَا ، فَكَانَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ يَبْنِي سَاقًا - يَعْنِي : بِنَاءً - وَمَكَّةُ شَدِيدَةُ الْحَرِّ ، فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ مَوْضِعَ الْحَجَرِ ، قَالَ لِإِسْمَاعِيلَ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ : اذْهَبْ فَالْتَمِسْ حَجَرًا ، فَذَهَبَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ يَطُوفُ فِي الْجِبَالِ ، وَنَزَلَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ بِالْحَجَرِ ، فَجَاءَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ ، وَقَالَ : مِنْ أَيْنَ هَذَا ؟ فَقَالَ : مِنْ عِنْدِ مَنْ لَا يَتَّكِلُ عَلَى بِنَائِي وَبِنَائِكَ ، فَوَضَعَهُ .
فَأَمَرَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِثَوْبٍ فَبَسَطَهُ فَوَضَعَهُ فِيهِ ، وَأَمَرَ مِنْ كُلِّ قَوْمٍ رَجُلًا ، فَأَخَذَ بِنَاحِيَةٍ مِنَ الثَّوْبِ فَرَفَعَهُ ، فَأَخَذَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَوَضَعَهُ .
4219 \ 2 - وَقَالَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ : حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، وَقَيْسٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ الرَّبِيعِ ، وَسَلَّامٌ وَهُوَ أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ ، كُلُّهُمْ عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ عَرْعَرَةَ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : لَمَّا هُدِمَ الْبَيْتُ بَعْدَ جُرْهُمٍ ، بَنَتْهُ قُرَيْشٌ ، فَلَمَّا أَرَادُوا أَنْ يَضَعُوا الْحَجَرَ تَشَاجَرُوا مَنْ يَضَعُهُ ، فَاتَّفَقُوا أَنْ يَضَعَهُ أَوَّلُ مَنْ يَدْخُلُ مِنْ هَذَا الْبَابِ ، فَدَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ بَابِ بَنِي شَيْبَةَ ، فَأَمَرَ بِثَوْبٍ فَوَضَعَ الْحَجَرَ فِي وَسَطِهِ ، وَأَمَرَ كُلَّ فَخِذٍ أَنْ يَأْخُذُوا بِطَائِفَةٍ مِنَ الثَّوْبِ ، فَرَفَعُوهُ ، وَأَخَذَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
4219 \ 3 - وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ عَرْعَرَةَ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : لَمَّا أَرَادُوا أَنْ يَرْفَعُوا الْحَجَرَ ، يَعْنِي : قُرَيْشًا ، اخْتَصَمُوا فِيهِ ، فَقَالُوا : نَحْنُ نُحَكِّمُ بَيْنَنَا أَوَّلَ رَجُلٍ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ هَذِهِ السِّكَّةِ ، قَالَ : فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ خَرَجَ عَلَيْهِمْ ، فَجَعَلُوهُ فِي مِرْطٍ ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَهُ جَمِيعُ الْقَبَائِلِ كُلِّهَا ، وَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ رَجُلٌ شَابٌّ ، يَعْنِي : قَبْلَ الْبَعْثَةِ .
4219 \ 4 - وَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ : حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْأَزْرَقُ ، بِبَغْدَادَ إِمْلَاءً ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ لِعَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ بِنَائِهِ ، قَالَ : أَوْحَى اللهُ تَعَالَى إِلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَنِ ابْنِ لِي بَيْتًا ، قَالَ : فَضُيِّقَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ ذَرْعًا ، فَأَرْسَلَ اللهُ تَعَالَى رِيحًا يُقَالُ لَهَا : السَّكِينَةُ ، وَيُقَالُ : الْخَجُوجُ ، لَهَا عَيْنَانِ وَرَأْسٌ ، فَأَوْحَى اللهُ تَعَالَى إِلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَنْ يَسِيرَ إِذَا سَارَتْ ، وَيَقِيلَ إِذَا قَالَتْ ، فَسَارَتْ حَتَّى انْتَهَتْ إِلَى مَوْضِعِ الْبَيْتِ ، فَتَطَوَّقَتْ عَلَيْهِ مِثْلَ الْحَجَفَةِ ، وَهِيَ بِإِزَاءِ الْبَيْتِ الْمَعْمُورِ ، يَدْخُلُهُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ ، لَا يَعُودُونَ إِلَيْهِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ ، فَجَعَلَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَإِسْمَاعِيلُ يَبْنِيَانِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ سَاقًا ، فَإِذَا اشْتَدَّ عَلَيْهِمَا الْحَرُّ ، اسْتَظَلَّا فِي ظِلِّ الْجَبَلِ ، فَلَمَّا بَلَغَا مَوْضِعَ الْحَجَرِ ، قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لِإِسْمَاعِيلَ : ائْتِنِي بِحَجَرٍ أَضَعُهُ يَكُونُ عَلَمًا لِلنَّاسِ ، فَاسْتَقْبَلَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ الْوَادِي وَجَاءَ بِحَجَرٍ ، فَاسْتَصْغَرَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَرَمَى بِهِ ، وَقَالَ : جِئْنِي بِغَيْرِهِ ، فَذَهَبَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ ، وَهَبَطَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ بِالْحَجَرِ الْأَسْوَدَ ، فَجَاءَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ : قَدْ جَاءَنِي مَنْ لَمْ يَكِلْنِي فِيهِ إِلَى حَجَرِكَ ، قَالَ : فَبَنَى الْبَيْتَ ، وَجَعَلَ يَطُوفُ حَوْلَهُ ، وَيَطُوفُونَ وَيُصَلُّونَ ، حَتَّى مَاتُوا وَانْقَرَضُوا ، فَتَهَدَّمَ الْبَيْتُ ، فَبَنَتْهُ الْعَمَالِقَةُ ، فَكَانُوا يَطُوفُونَ بِهِ حَتَّى مَاتُوا وَانْقَرَضُوا ، فَبَنَتْهُ قُرَيْشٌ ، فَلَمَّا بَلَغُوا مَوْضِعَ الْحَجَرِ اخْتَلَفُوا فِي وَضْعِهِ ، فَقَالُوا : أَوَّلُ مَنْ يَطْلُعُ مِنَ الْبَابِ ... الْحَدِيثَ .
فَأَمَرَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِثَوْبٍ فَبَسَطَهُ فَوَضَعَهُ فِيهِ ، وَأَمَرَ مِنْ كُلِّ قَوْمٍ رَجُلًا ، فَأَخَذَ بِنَاحِيَةٍ مِنَ الثَّوْبِ فَرَفَعَهُ ، فَأَخَذَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَوَضَعَهُ .
4219 \ 2 - وَقَالَ الطَّيَالِسِيُّ : حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ ، وَقَيْسٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ الرَّبِيعِ ، وَسَلَّامٌ وَهُوَ أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ ، كُلُّهُمْ عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ عَرْعَرَةَ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : لَمَّا هُدِمَ الْبَيْتُ بَعْدَ جُرْهُمٍ ، بَنَتْهُ قُرَيْشٌ ، فَلَمَّا أَرَادُوا أَنْ يَضَعُوا الْحَجَرَ تَشَاجَرُوا مَنْ يَضَعُهُ ، فَاتَّفَقُوا أَنْ يَضَعَهُ أَوَّلُ مَنْ يَدْخُلُ مِنْ هَذَا الْبَابِ ، فَدَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنْ بَابِ بَنِي شَيْبَةَ ، فَأَمَرَ بِثَوْبٍ فَوَضَعَ الْحَجَرَ فِي وَسَطِهِ ، وَأَمَرَ كُلَّ فَخِذٍ أَنْ يَأْخُذُوا بِطَائِفَةٍ مِنَ الثَّوْبِ ، فَرَفَعُوهُ ، وَأَخَذَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
4219 \ 3 - وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ ، عَنْ سِمَاكٍ ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ عَرْعَرَةَ ، عَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، قَالَ : لَمَّا أَرَادُوا أَنْ يَرْفَعُوا الْحَجَرَ ، يَعْنِي : قُرَيْشًا ، اخْتَصَمُوا فِيهِ ، فَقَالُوا : نَحْنُ نُحَكِّمُ بَيْنَنَا أَوَّلَ رَجُلٍ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ هَذِهِ السِّكَّةِ ، قَالَ : فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوَّلَ مَنْ خَرَجَ عَلَيْهِمْ ، فَجَعَلُوهُ فِي مِرْطٍ ، ثُمَّ رَفَعَهُ جَمِيعُ الْقَبَائِلِ كُلِّهَا ، وَرَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَئِذٍ رَجُلٌ شَابٌّ ، يَعْنِي : قَبْلَ الْبَعْثَةِ .
4219 \ 4 - وَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ : حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْأَزْرَقُ ، بِبَغْدَادَ إِمْلَاءً ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ سِمَاكِ بْنِ حَرْبٍ ، عَنْ خَالِدٍ ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ لِعَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ ، أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ بِنَائِهِ ، قَالَ : أَوْحَى اللهُ تَعَالَى إِلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَنِ ابْنِ لِي بَيْتًا ، قَالَ : فَضُيِّقَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ ذَرْعًا ، فَأَرْسَلَ اللهُ تَعَالَى رِيحًا يُقَالُ لَهَا : السَّكِينَةُ ، وَيُقَالُ : الْخَجُوجُ ، لَهَا عَيْنَانِ وَرَأْسٌ ، فَأَوْحَى اللهُ تَعَالَى إِلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَنْ يَسِيرَ إِذَا سَارَتْ ، وَيَقِيلَ إِذَا قَالَتْ ، فَسَارَتْ حَتَّى انْتَهَتْ إِلَى مَوْضِعِ الْبَيْتِ ، فَتَطَوَّقَتْ عَلَيْهِ مِثْلَ الْحَجَفَةِ ، وَهِيَ بِإِزَاءِ الْبَيْتِ الْمَعْمُورِ ، يَدْخُلُهُ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ سَبْعُونَ أَلْفَ مَلَكٍ ، لَا يَعُودُونَ إِلَيْهِ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ ، فَجَعَلَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَإِسْمَاعِيلُ يَبْنِيَانِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ سَاقًا ، فَإِذَا اشْتَدَّ عَلَيْهِمَا الْحَرُّ ، اسْتَظَلَّا فِي ظِلِّ الْجَبَلِ ، فَلَمَّا بَلَغَا مَوْضِعَ الْحَجَرِ ، قَالَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ لِإِسْمَاعِيلَ : ائْتِنِي بِحَجَرٍ أَضَعُهُ يَكُونُ عَلَمًا لِلنَّاسِ ، فَاسْتَقْبَلَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ الْوَادِي وَجَاءَ بِحَجَرٍ ، فَاسْتَصْغَرَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَرَمَى بِهِ ، وَقَالَ : جِئْنِي بِغَيْرِهِ ، فَذَهَبَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ ، وَهَبَطَ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ بِالْحَجَرِ الْأَسْوَدَ ، فَجَاءَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ : قَدْ جَاءَنِي مَنْ لَمْ يَكِلْنِي فِيهِ إِلَى حَجَرِكَ ، قَالَ : فَبَنَى الْبَيْتَ ، وَجَعَلَ يَطُوفُ حَوْلَهُ ، وَيَطُوفُونَ وَيُصَلُّونَ ، حَتَّى مَاتُوا وَانْقَرَضُوا ، فَتَهَدَّمَ الْبَيْتُ ، فَبَنَتْهُ الْعَمَالِقَةُ ، فَكَانُوا يَطُوفُونَ بِهِ حَتَّى مَاتُوا وَانْقَرَضُوا ، فَبَنَتْهُ قُرَيْشٌ ، فَلَمَّا بَلَغُوا مَوْضِعَ الْحَجَرِ اخْتَلَفُوا فِي وَضْعِهِ ، فَقَالُوا : أَوَّلُ مَنْ يَطْلُعُ مِنَ الْبَابِ ... الْحَدِيثَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Ibrahim (peace be upon him) was commanded to build the House of Allah, he became very anxious (about its extent and manner) and could not understand how to build it. Then Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, sent down «al-sakinah», which was a swift wind «rihun khajuj». That wind formed a ring like a shield over the site of the House of Allah, and he began building upon that (marked foundation). Each day he would build one course of the wall, while Makkah was intensely hot. When Ibrahim (peace be upon him) reached the place of the Black Stone, he said to Isma'il (peace be upon him): "Go and search for a stone and bring it." Isma'il (peace be upon him) began searching for a stone in the mountains, and Jibril (peace be upon him) descended with the Black Stone. When Isma'il (peace be upon him) returned, he asked (on seeing the stone): "Where has this come from?" Ibrahim (peace be upon him) said: "It has come from the One who does not rely on my labour and yours." Then he set it in place.
(Mentioning the youth of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he said:) He (peace and blessings be upon him) had a cloth brought, spread it out and placed the Black Stone in it. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) called one man from each people (tribe) and ordered them to take hold of a corner of the cloth each and lift it up. When they had lifted it, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took hold of it and set it in place (with his blessed hand).
In the narration of Imam al-Tayalisi, it is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the structure of the House of Allah collapsed after (the time of) Banu Jurhum, Quraysh rebuilt it. When they intended to set the Black Stone in place, they quarrelled over who would place it. Then they agreed that whoever entered first through this gate would decide. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered through the Gate of Banu Shaybah. He (peace and blessings be upon him) had a sheet brought, placed the Black Stone in its middle and ordered every clan (tribe) to take hold of a corner of the sheet. When they lifted it, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set it in place (in the wall).
In the narration of Imam Abu Bakr, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) says that when Quraysh wanted to lift the Black Stone, they disputed over it. They decided: "The first man who comes out of this lane will judge between us." The narrator says: The first to appear before them was the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Then they placed the Black Stone in a woollen sheet, and all the tribes together lifted it. On that day the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was a young man, that is, this incident was before his (peace and blessings be upon him) prophetic mission.
In the narration of Imam al-Harith, a man said to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him): "Tell me about the building of the House of Allah." He said: Allah Almighty revealed to Ibrahim (peace be upon him): "Build a house for Me." Ibrahim (peace be upon him) was troubled by this responsibility, so Allah Almighty sent a wind called «al-sakinah» and «al-khajuj»; it had a head and two eyes. Allah revealed to Ibrahim (peace be upon him): "Wherever this wind moves, move with it, and wherever it stops, you also stop there." The wind kept moving until it stopped at the site of the House of Allah and encircled it like a shield. This site is exactly opposite the heavenly «al-Bayt al-Ma'mur», which seventy thousand angels enter every day, and whoever leaves it once does not return to it again until the Day of Resurrection. Then Ibrahim and Isma'il (peace be upon them both) would build one course each day, and when the heat grew intense, they would rest in the shade of the mountain. When they reached the place of the Black Stone, Ibrahim (peace be upon him) said to Isma'il (peace be upon him): "Bring me a stone so that I may set it here, to be a sign for the people." Isma'il (peace be upon him) went towards the valley and brought a stone, but Ibrahim (peace be upon him) considered it too small, rejected it and said: "Bring me another stone besides this one." Isma'il (peace be upon him) had only just gone when Jibril (peace be upon him) descended with the Black Stone. When Isma'il (peace be upon him) returned, Ibrahim (peace be upon him) said: "The One has brought me a stone who has not left me in need of the stone you brought." Then he built the House of Allah, and the circumambulation and prayer there began, until they passed away and their line came to an end. Then, when the building collapsed, the people of the Amalekites built it, and they too kept circumambulating it until they also came to an end. Then Quraysh built it, and when they reached the place of the Black Stone, they disagreed and decided: "Whoever appears first from the gate will decide."
