حدثنا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ ، حدثنا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ ، حدثنا أَشْعَثُ بْنُ أَبِي الشَّعْثَاءِ ، عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَت : سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنِ الْجَدْرِ أَمِنَ الْبَيْتِ هُوَ ؟ قَالَ : " نَعَمْ " ، قُلْتُ : فَلِمَ لَمْ يُدْخِلُوهُ فِي الْبَيْتِ ؟ قَالَ : " إِنَّ قَوْمَكِ قَصَّرَتْ بِهِمُ النَّفَقَةُ " ، قُلْتُ : فَمَا شَأْنُ بَابِهِ مُرْتَفِعًا ؟ قَالَ : " فَعَلَ ذَلِكِ قَوْمُكِ لِيُدْخِلُوا مَنْ شَاءُوا ، وَيَمْنَعُوا مَنْ شَاءُوا ، وَلَوْلَا أَنَّ قَوْمَكِ حَدِيثٌ عَهْدُهُمْ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ ، فَأَخَافُ أَنْ تُنْكِرَ قُلُوبُهُمْ ، لَنَظَرْتُ أَنْ أُدْخِلَ الْجَدْرَ فِي الْبَيْتِ وَأَنْ أُلْزِقَ بَابَهُ بِالْأَرْضِ " ،
'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported: I asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about the wall, circumpassing the House (i. e. whether the wall on the side of Hijr was included in the Ka’bah). He said, Yes. I said: Then why did they not include it in the House? He said: Your people ran short of the means (to do so). I said: Why is it that the level of its door is raised high? He said: Your people did it so that they should admit one whom they liked, and forbid him whom they disliked, and if your people were not new converts to faith, and I did not apprehend that their hearts would feel agitated at this, I would have definitely included (the area of) this wall-in the House and would have brought the door to the level of the ground.
