Shaqiq bin Salamah said: I sat with Shaybah bin Uthman in al-Masjid al-Haram, and he said: Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) sat with me exactly as you are sitting with me now, and he said: I intend not to leave any of the gold and silver of the Ka'bah, but to distribute it all. Shaybah said: I said: Your two companions did not do this, that is, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: They are the two men whom I follow.

Shaybah bin Uthman al-Hajabi went to Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) and said: O Mother of the Believers! The coverings of the Ka'bah pile up with us, and when they become many, we dig wells and bury them in them, so that no one in a state of major ritual impurity (junub) or a menstruating woman wears them. Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: You have not done well, and what you have done is very bad. When the covering of the Ka'bah has been taken off it, there is no harm in someone in a state of major impurity or a menstruating woman wearing it. Rather, sell it and spend its price on the poor and in jihad. She said: After that, Shaybah would send the covering to Yemen, where it would be sold, and then its price would be spent on the poor, on jihad and on travellers.

Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Before the fasting of Ramadan was made obligatory, people used to fast on Ashura, and it was on that day that the Ka'bah was covered with its covering. When Allah made Ramadan obligatory, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever wishes to fast Ashura may fast it, and whoever wishes to leave it may leave it."
