Yahya ibn Yahya narrated to us, saying: I recited to Malik, from Ibn Shihab, from Salim ibn Abd Allah, that Abd Allah ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Bakr al-Siddiq informed Abd Allah ibn Umar, from Aisha, the wife of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: "Have you not seen that your people, when they built the Kaaba, limited themselves to less than the foundations of Ibrahim?" She said: So I said, "O Messenger of God, will you not return it to the foundations of Ibrahim?" The Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, said: "Were it not for the recentness of your people's [departure from] unbelief, I would have done so." Abd Allah ibn Umar said: If Aisha heard this from the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, then I do not think that the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace, left off touching the two corners that adjoin the Hijr except that the House was not completed upon the foundations of Ibrahim.
