It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha that I wished to enter the House of Allah and pray, so the Prophet (peace be upon him) took my hand and made me enter the Hatim and said: If you wish to enter the House of Allah, then pray in the Hatim, because this too is a part of the House of Allah. But when your people had little lawful wealth, they excluded this part from the construction during the rebuilding of the Kaaba.
