Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The Kaaba will be demolished by a man from Abyssinia with thin legs.

Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) bin Abi Talib says: It is as if I am seeing that man from Habsha whose hair on the front of his head is gone, who has small ears and small shins, sitting on it and demolishing it.

Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) says that it is as if that person, whose head hair is disheveled and whose joints in the feet and hands are crooked, is standing over him and is causing him to fall. Hazrat Mujahid says that when Ibn Zubair was made to fall, I tried to observe in him the qualities that Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) had described, but I did not find them in him.

Hazrat Mujahid says that when Hazrat Ibn Zubair gathered people to demolish the Ka'bah, we went to Mina for three days and waited for Allah's punishment.

Hazrat Salman says that the Ka'bah will be demolished by the hand of a person from the family of Zubair.

Hazrat Mujahid says that when the House of Allah (the Kaaba) was demolished, a stone was found on which it was written: I am God, the Owner of the city of Mecca. I built it on the day I created the moon and the sun. I have covered it with seven straight properties. I have placed blessings in ghee and curry for its inhabitants, and it will not perish until these two mountains perish and come to an end, and the first to consider its sanctity permissible will be its residents.

Hazrat Dhahak bin Muzahim narrates that when the House of Allah (the Ka'bah) was demolished, a flood-like torrent came which overturned one of the stones of the Ka'bah. On it was inscribed: I am the God of the House of Allah. I built it on the day I created the mountains, and I built it before the seven straight lands, which were neither Jewish nor Christian.

Hazrat Aamir narrates that the person who read that document, which was found either from the walls of the roof of the Ka'bah or from beneath Maqam Ibrahim, related to me (it was written in it): I am the God of the Ka'bah, I have built it before seven kingdoms, I have placed blessings in the food and drink (meat and water) for its inhabitants, and I have made the sustenance of its inhabitants from three ways, and the very first to consider its sanctity as permissible are its own people.
