حَدَّثَنَا
الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ ،
وَبَحْرُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ ، قَالا : حَدَّثَنَا
ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي
ابْنُ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ ، عَنْ
عَلْقَمَةَ ، عَنْ
أُمِّهِ ، عَنْ
عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : كُنْتُ أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَدْخُلَ الْبَيْتِ فَأُصَلِّي فِيهِ ، فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِيَدِي فَأَدْخَلَنِي الْحِجْرَ ، فَقَالَ : " يَا عَائِشَةُ ، إِنَّ قَوْمَكِ لَمَّا بَنُو الْكَعْبَةَ اسْتَقْصَرُوا فَأَخْرَجُوا الْحِجْرَ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ ، فَإِذَا أَرَدْتِ أَنْ تُصَلِّي فِي الْبَيْتِ فَصَلِّي فِي الْحِجْرِ ، فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ قِطْعَةٌ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ "
Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that I greatly desired to enter the Sacred House (the Ka'bah) and perform prayer inside it. So, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took my hand and made me enter the Hatim and said: "O Aisha, when your people constructed the Sacred House, their funds fell short, so they left the Hatim outside the construction of the House. Therefore, when you wish to pray inside the Sacred House, perform your prayer in the Hatim, for it is also a part of the House."
