May Allah ruin Ibn Zubair that he lies in attributing to the Mother of the Faithful, as he says: I heard her stating that Messenger of Allah (may'peace be upon him) had said: 'A'isha, if your people had not been new converts to Islam, I would have demolished the House and would have added (in it area) from the Hijr for your people have reduced the area from its foundations. Harith b. 'Abdullah b. Abu Rabi'a (Allah be pleased with him) said: Commander of the Faithful, don't say that, for I heard the Mother of the Faithful saying this, whereupon he said: If I had heard this before demolishing it, I would have left it in the state in which Ibn Zabair had built it.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَا عَائِشَةُ لَوْلاَ حِدْثَانُ قَوْمِكِ بِالْكُفْرِ لَنَقَضْتُ الْبَيْتَ حَتَّى أَزِيدَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْحِجْرِ فَإِنَّ قَوْمَكِ قَصَّرُوا فِي الْبِنَاءِ فَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ لاَ تَقُلْ هَذَا يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَأَنَا سَمِعْتُ أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ تُحَدِّثُ هَذَا قَالَ لَوْ كُنْتُ سَمِعْتُهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَهْدِمَهُ لَتَرَكْتُهُ عَلَى مَا بَنَى ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ  

[Machine] Abdul Malik, while he was performing tawaf (circumambulation) around the Kaaba, said, "May Allah curse the son of Zubayr, as he lies about the mother of the believers, claiming that she said, 'I heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , say, 'O Aisha, if it were not for two incidents among your people involving disbelief, I would have demolished the Kaaba.''" My father said, An Ansari said, 'I would have reconstructed the Kaaba, adding more stones to it, for indeed your people have diminished its construction.' Al Harith bin Abdullah bin Abi Rabiah said, 'Don't say that, O Amir al-Mu'minin (Commander of the Believers), for I have heard the mother of the believers narrate this.' He (Abdul Malik) said, 'If I had heard this before I demolished it, I would have left it standing on the construction of Ibn Zubayr.'"  

أَنَّ عَبْدَ الْمَلِكِ بَيْنَمَا هُوَ يَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ إِذْ قَالَ قَاتَلَ اللهُ ابْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ حَيْثُ يَكْذِبُ عَلَى أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُهَا وَهِيَ تَقُولُ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَا عَائِشَةُ لَوْلَا حِدْثَانُ قَوْمِكِ بِالْكُفْرِ لَنَقَبْتُ الْبَيْتَ قَالَ أَبِي قَالَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ لَنَقَضْتُ الْبَيْتَ حَتَّى أَزِيدَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْحِجْرِ فَإِنَّ قَوْمَكِ قَصَّرُوا عَنِ الْبِنَاءِ فَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ لَا تَقُلْ هَذَا يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَأَنَا سَمِعْتُ أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ تُحَدِّثُ هَذَا فَقَالَ لَوْ كُنْتُ سَمِعْتُ هَذَا قَبْلَ أَنْ أَهْدِمَهُ لَتَرَكْتُهُ عَلَى بِنَاءِ ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "If it were not for the recent conversion of your people to disbelief, I would have demolished the Kaaba and expanded it with more stones. But since your people have recently shortened its construction, Al-Harith ibn Abdullah ibn Abi Rabiah said, 'Do not say that, O Commander of the Faithful, for I have heard the Mother of the Believers speak about this.' He said, 'If I had heard about this before I demolished it, I would have left it as it was, built by Ibn Az-Zubair.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَوْلَا حِدْثَانُ قَوْمِكِ بِالْكُفْرِ لَنَقَضْتُ الْبَيْتَ حَتَّى أَزِيدَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْحِجْرِ فَإِنَّ قَوْمَكِ قَصَّرُوا فِي الْبِنَاءِ فَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ لَا تَقُلْ هَذَا يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ تُحَدِّثُ بِهَذَا قَالَ لَوْ كُنْتُ سَمِعْتُهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَهْدِمَهُ لَتَرَكْتُهُ عَلَى بِنَاءِ ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ
