Shahih Muslim - 2372

Telah menceritakan kepadaku [Muhammad bin Hatim] Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Bakr] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Ibnu Juraij] ia berkata, saya mendengar [Abdullah bin Ubaid bin Umair] dan [Al Walid bin Atha`] keduanya menceritakan dari [Al Harits bin Abdullah bin Abu Rabi'ah] -Abdullah bin Ubaid berkata- Al Harits bin Abdullah datang sebagai utusan kepada Abdul Malik bin Marwan pada masa pemerintahannya. Abdul Malik berkata, "Aku tidak menduga bahwa Abu Khubaib yakni Ibnu Zubair mendengar dari Aisyah, yang ia berdalih bahwa ia mendengarnya dari Aisyah." Al Harits berkata, "Benar, saya juga telah mendengar tentang hal itu dari Aisyah. [Aisyah] berkata; Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: 'Sesungguhnya kaummu telah memperkecil bangunan Baitullah. Sekiranya bukan karena mereka baru saja meninggalkan kesyirikan, niscaya saya akan mengembalikan apa yang mereka tinggalkan. Maka jika kaummu akan membangunnya sepeninggalku, maka kemarilah akan kuperlihatkan seberapa panjang yang mereka tinggalkan itu.' Maka aku pun melihatnya, yakni kurang lebih sepanjang tujuh hasta." Ini adalah haditsnya Abdullah bin Ubaid. Kemudian Al Walid bin Atha` menambahkan; Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda: "Dan aku benar-benar akan membuatkannya dua pintu yang keduanya sampai ke tanah. Yakni sebelah Timur dan Barat. Tahukah kamu, kenapa kaummu meninggikan pintunya?" Aisyah berkta; Aku menjawab, "Tidak." Beliau bersabda: "Yaitu, agar tidak ada yang dapat masuk ke dalamnya kecuali orang-orang tertentu yang mereka izinkan. Jika ada seseorang yang ingin masuk ke dalamnya, mereka membiarkannya memanjat hingga hampir saja akan memasukinya, baru kemudian mereka menghalanginya hingga orang tersebut terjatuh." Abdul Malik bertanya kepada Al Harits, "Apakah kamu mendengar Aisyah mengatakan hal ini?" Al Harits menjawab, "Ya." Kemudian Abdul Malik pun memukul-mukulkan tongkatnya sesaat lalu berkata, "Aku lebih suka kalau aku meninggalkannya dan apa yang menjadi bebannya." Dan Telah menceritakannya kepada kami [Muhammad bin Amru bin Jablah] Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abu Ashim] -dalam riwayat lain- Dan Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdu bin Humaid] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Abdurrazzaq] keduanya dari [Ibnu Juraij] dengan isnad ini, yakni sebagaimana hadits Ibnu Bakr. (HR. Muslim: 2372)

Abdullah b. 'Ubaid reported that Harith b. 'Abdullah led a deputation to 'Abd al-Malik b. Marwan during his caliphate. 'Abd al-Malik said: I do riot think that Abu Khubaib (i. e. Ibn Zubair) had heard from 'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) (about the intended wish of the Holy Prophet [may peace be upon him) In regard to the alteration of the Ka'ba). Harith said: Yes, I myself did hear from her. He ('Abd al-Malik) said: Well, tell me what you heard from her. He stated that she (Hadrat 'A'isha) had said that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) remarked: Verily your people have reduced (the area) of the House from its (original foundations, and if they had not recently abandoned polytheism (and embraced Islam) I would have reversed it to (those foundations) which they had left out of it. nd if your people would take initiative after me in rebuilding it, then come along with me so that I should show you what they have left out of it. He showed her about fifteen cubits of area from the side of Hatim (that they had separated). This is the narration transmitted by 'Abdullah b. Ubaid. Walid b. 'Ata' has, however, made this addition to it:" Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) said: I would have made two doors on the level of the ground (facing) the east and the west. Do you know why your people raised the level of its door (i. e. the door of the Ka'ba)? She said: No. He said: (They did it) out of vanity so that (they might be in a position) to grant admittance to him only whom they wished. When a person intended to get into it, they let him climb (the stairs), and as he was about to enter, they pushed him and he fell down." 'Abd al-Malik said to Harith; Did you yourself hear her saying this? He said: Yes. He (Harith) said that he ('Abd al-Malik) scratched the ground with his staff for some time and then said: I wish I had left his (Ibn Zubair's) work there. This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Juraij with the same chain of transmitters. (Muslim: 2372)
