Shahih Bukhari - 6702

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Musaddad] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abul Ahwash] telah menceritakan kepada kami [Asy'ats] dari [Al Aswad bin Yazid] dari ['Aisyah] berkata, "Aku bertanya Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam tentang Hijir Ismail, apakah termasuk baitullah?" Nabi menjawab: "Ya." Aku bertanya, "Mengapa para sahabat tidak memasukkannya dalam baitullah?" Nabi menjawab: "Kaummu dahulu kekurangan dana renovasi." Aku bertanya, "Lantas bagaimana pintunya ditinggikan?" Nabi menjawab: "Kaummu melakukan yang sedemikian untuk memasukkan siapa saja yang dikehendakinya, dan melarang siapa saja yang dikehendaki, kalaulah bukan karena kaummu yang baru saja masuk Islam sehingga aku khawatir hati mereka menolak, niscaya kumasukkan Hijir Ismail dalam Ka'bah, dan kuratakan pintunya dengan tanah." (HR. Bukhari: 6702)

Narrated ʿAisha: I asked the Prophet (ﷺ) about the wall (outside the Kaʿbah). "Is it regarded as part of the Kaʿbah?" He replied, "Yes." I said, "Then why didn't the people include it in the Kaʿbah?" He said, "(Because) your people ran short of money." I asked, "Then why is its gate so high?" He replied, ''Your people did so in order to admit to it whom they would and forbid whom they would. Were your people not still close to the period of ignorance, and were I not afraid that their hearts might deny my action, then surely I would include the wall in the Kaʿbah and make its gate touch the ground." (Bukhari: 6702)
