ذِكْرُ إِرَادَةِ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ أَنْ يَزِيدَ الْحِجْرِ فِي الْبَيْتِ لَوْ هَدَمَهُ

'A'isha, if your people had not been recently polytheists (and new converts to Islam), I would have demolished the Ka'ba, and would have brought it to the level of the ground and would have constructed two doors, one facing the east and the other one to the west, and would have added to it six cubits of area from Hijr, for the Quraish had reduced it when they rebuilt it.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَا عَائِشَةُ لَوْلاَ أَنَّ قَوْمَكِ حَدِيثُو عَهْدٍ بِشِرْكٍ لَهَدَمْتُ الْكَعْبَةَ فَأَلْزَقْتُهَا بِالأَرْضِ وَجَعَلْتُ لَهَا بَابَيْنِ بَابًا شَرْقِيًّا وَبَابًا غَرْبِيًّا وَزِدْتُ فِيهَا سِتَّةَ أَذْرُعٍ مِنَ الْحِجْرِ فَإِنَّ قُرَيْشًا اقْتَصَرَتْهَا حَيْثُ بَنَتِ الْكَعْبَةَ  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to her, 'If it were not for the fact that your people have recently abandoned idolatry or ignorance, I would demolish the Kaaba and rebuild it on the ground, placing two doors for it, one on the eastern side and one on the western side, and I would add six cubits of stones to it. Indeed, the Quraysh had made it smaller when they built the Kaaba.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَهَا لَوْلَا أَنَّ قَوْمَكِ حَدِيثُ عَهْدٍ بِشِرْكٍ أَوْ بِجَاهِلِيَّةٍ لَهَدَمْتُ الْكَعْبَةَ فَأَلْزَقْتُهَا بِالْأَرْضِ وَجَعَلْتُ لَهَا بَابَيْنِ بَابًا شَرْقِيًّا وَبَابًا غَرْبِيًّا وَزِدْتُ فِيهَا مِنَ الْحَجَرِ سِتَّةَ أَذْرُعٍ فَإِنَّ قُرِيشًا اقْتَصَرَتْهَا حِينَ بَنَتِ الْكَعْبَةَ  

"لَوْلا أن قَومَك حَدِيثُ عَهد بشِرْك أوْ بِجَاهِلِية لَهَدَمْتُ الكعْبَةَ فألزَقْتُهَا في الأرضِ، وَجَعَلتُ لَهَا بَابَينِ، بَابا شَرْقِيًّا، وبَابَا غَرْبيًّا وَزِدْتُ مِنْهَا مِن الحِجْر سِتَةَ أذرُعٍ فَإِنَّ قُرَيشا اقْتَصَرَتْهَا حِين بَنَتِ الكعْبَةَ".
