باب الْحِجْرِ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ:Chapter: The Stone Is Part of the House
Hadith 1907
أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ، عَنْ الْأَشْعَثِ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ، عَنْ الْأَسْوَدِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: سَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ الْحَجَرِ: أَمِنَ الْبَيْتِ هُوَ ؟ . قَالَ: نَعَمْ . قُلْتُ: فَمَا لَهُمْ لَمْ يُدْخِلُوهُ فِي الْبَيْتِ ؟ فَقَالَ: "إِنَّ قَوْمَكِ قَصَّرَتْ بِهِمْ النَّفَقَةُ". قُلْتُ: فَمَا شَأْنُ بَابِهِ مُرْتَفِعًا ؟ قَالَ: "فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ قَوْمُكِ لِيُدْخِلُوا مَنْ شَاءُوا وَيَمْنَعُوا مَنْ شَاءُوا، وَلَوْلَا أَنَّ قَوْمَكِ حَدِيثُ عَهْدٍ بِجَاهِلِيَّةٍ فَأَخَافُ أَنْ تُنْكِرَ قُلُوبُهُمْ، لَعَمَدْتُ إِلَى الْحِجْرِ فَجَعَلْتُهُ فِي الْبَيْتِ وَأَلْزَقْتُ بَابَهُ بِالْأَرْضِ".
Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): Is the Hatim also included in the House of Allah? He said: "Yes." I said: Then why did people not include it in the Ka'bah? He said: "Your people ran short of construction materials." I said: Then why was the door kept so high? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Your people did this so that they could allow in whomever they wished and prevent whomever they wished. If your people had not been so close to the time of ignorance, I would have included the Hatim in the Ka'bah and lowered the door to the ground. I fear that their hearts would not accept this (change)."
