"The Messenger of Allah said: "Were it not for the fact that my people' - according to the narration of Muhammad he said: 'Your people' - 'have recently left Jailiyyah, I would have knocked down the House and given it two doors.'" When Ibn Az-Zubair was in power, he gave it two doors.

إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ لَوْلاَ أَنَّ قَوْمِي وَفِي حَدِيثِ مُحَمَّدٍ قَوْمَكِ حَدِيثُ عَهْدِ بِجَاهِلِيَّةٍ لَهَدَمْتُ الْكَعْبَةَ وَجَعَلْتُ لَهَا بَابَيْنِ فَلَمَّا مَلَكَ ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ جَعَلَ لَهَا بَابَيْنِ
