‘Abdullah bin ‘Ubaid said: “Al-Harith bin ‘Abdullah came to ‘Abdul-Malik bin Marwan during his Khilafah and ‘Abdul-Malik said: ‘I do not think that Abu Khubaib’ - meaning Ibn Az-Zubair - ‘heard from ‘Aishah what he claimed to have heard from her.” Al-Harith said: ‘No, I heard it from her too.’ He said: ‘What did you hear her say?’ He said: ‘She said: “The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: ‘Your people reduced its size when they rebuilt the House. Were it not that they have only recently left Shirk behind, I would have re-incorporated into it what they left out. If, after I am gone, your people decide to rebuild it, come with me so that I can show you what they left out of it.”’ And he showed her nearly seven cubits. This is the Hadith of ‘Abdullah bin ‘Ubaid.Al-Walid bin ‘Ata’ added: “The Prophet (SAW) said: ‘And I would have given it two doors at ground level, on the east and west. Do you know why your people made its door so high?’ She said: I said: ‘No.’ He said: ‘Out of arrogance, so that no one could enter it except whomever they wanted. If a man wanted to enter it, they would let him climb up, then when he was about to enter, they would push him and he would fall.”’‘Abdul-Malik said to Al-Harith: “Did you hear her say that?” He said: “Yes.” He said: “He scratched the ground with his stick for a moment, then he said: ‘I wish that I had left him responsible for his action.”’

حَدَّثَنِى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ وَالْوَلِيدَ بْنَ عَطَاءٍ يُحَدِّثَانِ عَنِ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِى رَبِيعَةَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُبَيْدٍ وَفَدَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَلَى عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ مَرْوَانَ فِى خِلاَفَتِهِ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ مَا أَظُنُّ أَبَا خُبَيْبٍ - يَعْنِى ابْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ - سَمِعَ مِنْ عَائِشَةَ مَا كَانَ يَزْعُمُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ مِنْهَا. قَالَ الْحَارِثُ بَلَى أَنَا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْهَا. قَالَ سَمِعْتَهَا تَقُولُ مَاذَا قَالَ قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « إِنَّ قَوْمَكِ اسْتَقْصَرُوا مِنْ بُنْيَانِ الْبَيْتِ وَلَوْلاَ حَدَاثَةُ عَهْدِهِمْ بِالشِّرْكِ أَعَدْتُ مَا تَرَكُوا مِنْهُ فَإِنْ بَدَا لِقَوْمِكِ مِنْ بَعْدِى أَنْ يَبْنُوهُ فَهَلُمِّى لأُرِيَكِ مَا تَرَكُوا مِنْهُ ». فَأَرَاهَا قَرِيبًا مِنْ سَبْعَةِ أَذْرُعٍ. هَذَا حَدِيثُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ وَزَادَ عَلَيْهِ الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ عَطَاءٍ قَالَ النَّبِىُّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « وَلَجَعَلْتُ لَهَا بَابَيْنِ مَوْضُوعَيْنِ فِى الأَرْضِ شَرْقِيًّا وَغَرْبِيًّا وَهَلْ تَدْرِينَ لِمَ كَانَ قَوْمُكِ رَفَعُوا بَابَهَا ». قَالَتْ قُلْتُ لاَ. قَالَ « تَعَزُّزًا أَنْ لاَ يَدْخُلَهَا إِلاَّ مَنْ أَرَادُوا فَكَانَ الرَّجُلُ إِذَا هُوَ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَهَا يَدْعُونَهُ يَرْتَقِى حَتَّى إِذَا كَادَ أَنْ يَدْخُلَ دَفَعُوهُ فَسَقَطَ ». قَالَ عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ لِلْحَارِثِ أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَهَا تَقُولُ هَذَا قَالَ نَعَمْ. قَالَ فَنَكَتَ سَاعَةً بِعَصَاهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَدِدْتُ أَنِّى تَرَكْتُهُ وَمَا تَحَمَّلَ.

It was narrated from Abu Qaza‘ah that while ‘Abdul-Malik bin Marwan was circumambulating the Ka‘bah, he said: “May Ibn Az-Zubair be doomed! For he told a lie about the Mother of the Believers when he said: ‘I heard her say: “The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: ‘O ‘Aishah, were it not that your people have only recently left disbelief behind, I would have demolished the House and added part of the Hijr to it, for your people reduced its size when they rebuilt it.”’ Al-Harith bin “Abdullah bin Abi Rabi‘ah said: “Do not say that, O Commander of the Believers, for I heard the Mother of the Believers narrating that.” He said: “If I had heard it before I demolished it, I would have left it as Ibn Az-Zubair built it.”

وَحَدَّثَنِى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بَكْرٍ السَّهْمِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمُ بْنُ أَبِى صَغِيرَةَ عَنْ أَبِى قَزَعَةَ أَنَّ عَبْدَ الْمَلِكِ بْنَ مَرْوَانَ بَيْنَمَا هُوَ يَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ إِذْ قَالَ قَاتَلَ اللَّهُ ابْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ حَيْثُ يَكْذِبُ عَلَى أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُهَا تَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « يَا عَائِشَةُ لَوْلاَ حِدْثَانُ قَوْمِكِ بِالْكُفْرِ لَنَقَضْتُ الْبَيْتَ حَتَّى أَزِيدَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْحِجْرِ فَإِنَّ قَوْمَكِ قَصَّرُوا فِى الْبِنَاءِ ». فَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِى 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.

It was narrated that ‘Aishah said: “I asked the Messenger of Allah (SAW) about the wall (meaning, the Hijr), is it part of the Ka‘bah?” He said: “Yes.” I said: “Why did they not include it in the House?” He said: “Your people ran short of funds.” I said: “Why is its door so high?” He said: “Your people did that so that they could admit whomever they wanted, and keep out whomever they wanted. Were it not that your people have only recently left Jahiliyyah behind, and I am afraid that they would resent it, I was thinking of incorporating the wall into the House, and making its door at ground level.”

حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ مَنْصُورٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ حَدَّثَنَا أَشْعَثُ بْنُ أَبِى الشَّعْثَاءِ عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- عَنِ الْجَدْرِ أَمِنَ الْبَيْتِ هُوَ قَالَ « نَعَمْ ». قُلْتُ فَلِمَ لَمْ يُدْخِلُوهُ فِى الْبَيْتِ قَالَ « إِنَّ قَوْمَكِ قَصَّرَتْ بِهِمُ النَّفَقَةُ ». قُلْتُ فَمَا شَأْنُ بَابِهِ مُرْتَفِعًا قَالَ « فَعَلَ ذَلِكِ قَوْمُكِ لِيُدْخِلُوا مَنْ شَاءُوا وَيَمْنَعُوا مَنْ شَاءُوا وَلَوْلاَ أَنَّ قَوْمَكِ حَدِيثٌ عَهْدُهُمْ فِى الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَأَخَافَ أَنْ تُنْكِرَ قُلُوبُهُمْ لَنَظَرْتُ أَنْ أُدْخِلَ الْجَدْرَ فِى الْبَيْتِ وَأَنْ أُلْزِقَ بَابَهُ بِالأَرْضِ ».

It was narrated that ‘Aishah said: “I asked the Messenger of Allah (SAW) about the Hijr...” and he quoted a Hadith like that of Abu Al-Ahwas (no. 3249), and he said in it: “I (‘Aishah) said: ‘Why is its door so high that it can only be reached by a ladder‘?’ And he (SAW) said: ‘For fear of causing resentment in their hearts.”’

وَحَدَّثَنَاهُ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ - يَعْنِى ابْنَ مُوسَى - حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ عَنْ أَشْعَثَ بْنِ أَبِى الشَّعْثَاءِ عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- عَنِ الْحِجْرِ. وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ بِمَعْنَى حَدِيثِ أَبِى الأَحْوَصِ وَقَالَ فِيهِ فَقُلْتُ فَمَا شَأْنُ بَابِهِ مُرْتَفِعًا لاَ يُصْعَدُ إِلَيْهِ إِلاَّ بِسُلَّمٍ وَقَالَ « مَخَافَةَ أَنْ تَنْفِرَ قُلُوبُهُمْ ».

It was narrated from ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abbas that he said: “Ali-Fadl bin ‘Abbas was riding behind the Messenger of Allah (SAW) and a woman of Khath’am came to him to ask him a question. Al-Fadl started looking at her and she at him, and the Messenger of Allah turned Al-Fadl’s face to the other side. She said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, the obligation of Hajj has come while my father is an old man who cannot sit firmly on his mount. Can I perform Hajj' on his behalf?’ He said: ‘Yes.’ That was during the Farewell Pilgrimage.”

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى قَالَ قَرَأْتُ عَلَى مَالِكٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ يَسَارٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ أَنَّهُ قَالَ كَانَ الْفَضْلُ بْنُ عَبَّاسٍ رَدِيفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَجَاءَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ خَثْعَمَ تَسْتَفْتِيهِ فَجَعَلَ الْفَضْلُ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهَا وَتَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ فَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- يَصْرِفُ وَجْهَ الْفَضْلِ إِلَى الشِّقِّ الآخَرِ. قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ فَرِيضَةَ اللَّهِ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ فِى الْحَجِّ أَدْرَكَتْ أَبِى شَيْخًا كَبِيرًا لاَ يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَثْبُتَ عَلَى الرَّاحِلَةِ أَفَأَحُجُّ عَنْهُ قَالَ « نَعَمْ ». وَذَلِكَ فِى حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ.

It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas, from Al-Fadl, that a woman from Khath‘am said: “O Messenger of Allah, my father is an old man and he still has to perform the obligation of Hajj, but he cannot sit up straight on the back of his camel.” The Prophet said: “Perform Hajj on his behalf.”

حَدَّثَنِى عَلِىُّ بْنُ خَشْرَمٍ أَخْبَرَنَا عِيسَى عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ يَسَارٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ الْفَضْلِ أَنَّ امْرَأَةً مِنْ خَثْعَمَ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَبِى شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ عَلَيْهِ فَرِيضَةُ اللَّهِ فِى الْحَجِّ وَهُوَ لاَ يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَسْتَوِىَ عَلَى ظَهْرِ بَعِيرِهِ. فَقَالَ النَّبِىُّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « فَحُجِّى عَنْهُ ».

It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbas that the Prophet (SAW) met some riders in Ar-Rawha’, and he said: “Who are these people?” They said: “Muslims” They said: “Who are you?” He said: “The Messenger of Allah (SAW).” A woman lifted up a child and said: “Is there Hajj' for this one?” He said: “Yes, and you shall have a reward.”

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِى شَيْبَةَ وَزُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ وَابْنُ أَبِى عُمَرَ جَمِيعًا عَنِ ابْنِ عُيَيْنَةَ - قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ - عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ كُرَيْبٍ مَوْلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنِ النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- لَقِىَ رَكْبًا بِالرَّوْحَاءِ فَقَالَ « مَنِ الْقَوْمُ ». قَالُوا الْمُسْلِمُونَ. فَقَالُوا مَنْ أَنْتَ قَالَ « رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ». فَرَفَعَتْ إِلَيْهِ امْرَأَةٌ صَبِيًّا فَقَالَتْ أَلِهَذَا حَجٌّ قَالَ « نَعَمْ وَلَكِ أَجْرٌ ».

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said: “The Messenger of Allah (SAW) addressed us and said: ‘O people, Hajj has been enjoined upon you, so perform Hajj’ A man said: ‘Is it every year, O Messenger of Allah‘?’ He remained silent, until the man said it three times. Then the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: ‘If I said yes, it would become obligatory, and you would not be able to do it.’ Then he said: ‘Leave me as I have left you; for those who came before you were doomed because of their questions and differences with their Prophets. If I command you to do something, then do as much of it as you can, and if I forbid you to do something, then refrain from it.”’

وَحَدَّثَنِى زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أَخْبَرَنَا الرَّبِيعُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ الْقُرَشِىُّ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فَقَالَ « أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قَدْ فَرَضَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمُ الْحَجَّ فَحُجُّوا ». فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ أَكُلَّ عَامٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَسَكَتَ حَتَّى قَالَهَا ثَلاَثًا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « لَوْ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ لَوَجَبَتْ وَلَمَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ - ثُمَّ قَالَ - ذَرُونِى مَا تَرَكْتُكُمْ فَإِنَّمَا هَلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ بِكَثْرَةِ سُؤَالِهِمْ وَاخْتِلاَفِهِمْ عَلَى أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ فَإِذَا أَمَرْتُكُمْ بِشَىْءٍ فَأْتُوا مِنْهُ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ وَإِذَا نَهَيْتُكُمْ عَنْ شَىْءٍ فَدَعُوهُ ».

It was narrated from ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar that the Prophet (SAW) said: “It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to travel for a distance of three nights, unless she has a Mahram with her.”

وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ أَبِى فُدَيْكٍ أَخْبَرَنَا الضَّحَّاكُ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنِ النَّبِىِّ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- قَالَ « لاَ يَحِلُّ لاِمْرَأَةٍ تُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ تُسَافِرُ مَسِيرَةَ ثَلاَثِ لَيَالٍ إِلاَّ وَمَعَهَا ذُو مَحْرَمٍ ».

It was narrated that Qaza‘ah said: “I heard a Hadith from Abu Sa‘eed that I liked, and I said to him: ‘Did you hear this from the Messenger of Allah (SAW) He said: ‘Would I attribute to the Messenger of Allah (SAW) something that I did not hear?’ Qaza‘ah said: ‘I heard him say: “The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: ‘Do not set out on a journey to visit any Masjid except three: This Masjid of mine, Al-Masjid AI-Haram and Al-Masjid Al-Aqsa.’ And I heard him say: ‘No woman should travel for two days time unless she has a Mahram with her, or her husband.”
