Shahih Bukhari - 1481

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Musaddad] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Al Ahwash] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Asy'ats] dari [Al Aswad bin Yazid] dari ['Aisyah radliallahu 'anha] berkata,, "Aku bertanya kepada Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam apakah Hijir Isma'il masuk bagian dari Ka'bah Baitulloh?". Beliau menjawab: "Ya benar". Lalu aku bertanya lagi: "Mengapa mereka tidak memasukkannya kedalam Ka'bah?". Beliau menjawab: "Seseungguhnya kaummu kekurangan biaya". Aku bertanya lagi: "Lalu apa alasannya pintu Ka'bah agak tinggi?". Beliau menjawab: "Kaummu yang membuatnya seperti itu dengan tujuan mereka bisa memasukkan siapa yang mereka kehendaki dan melarang siapa yang mereka kehendaki. Seandainya bukan karena pertimbangan keberadaan kaummu yang masih lekat dengan jahiliyyah (tentu aku sudah melakukannya) namun aku khawatir hati mereka mengingkarinya bila aku memasukkan Hijir Isma'il ke dalam Ka'bah dan bila aku ratakan pintunya dengan permukaan tanah". (HR. Bukhari: 1481)

Narrated ʿAisha: I asked the Prophet (ﷺ) whether the round wall (near Kaʿbah) was part of the Kaʿbah. The Prophet (ﷺ) replied in the affirmative. I further said, "What is wrong with them, why have they not included it in the building of the Kaʿbah?" He said, "Don't you see that your people (Quraish) ran short of money (so they could not include it inside the building of Kaʿbah)?" I asked, "What about its gate? Why is it so high?" He replied, "Your people did this so as to admit into it whomever they liked and prevent whomever they liked. Were your people not close to the Pre-lslamic Period of ignorance (i.e. they have recently embraced Islam) and were I not afraid that they would dislike it, surely I would have included the (area of the) wall inside the building of the Kaʿbah and I would have lowered its gate to the level of the ground." (Bukhari: 1481)
