Chapter 65: Prophetic Commentary on the Qur'an (Tafseer of the Prophet (pbuh))
Narrated 'Aisha: (The wife of the Prophet) Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Don' t you see that when your people built the Ka 'ba,
they did not build it on all Abraham' s foundations?" I said, "O Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ)! Why don' t you rebuild
it on Abraham' s foundations?" He said, "Were your people not so close to (the period of Heathenism,
i. e. the Period between their being Muslims and being infidels), I would do so." The sub-narrator,
'Abdullah bin 'Umar said, "Aisha had surely heard Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ) saying that, for I do not think that
Allah' s Messenger (ﷺ) left touching the two corners of the Ka 'ba facing Al-Hijr except because the Ka 'ba
was not built on all Abraham' s foundations."
