أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْأَحْوَصِ عَنْ الْأَشْعَثِ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ عَنْ الْأَسْوَدِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ
سَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَنِ الحَجَرِِ أَمِنَ الْبَيْتِ هُوَ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ» قُلْتُ فَمَا لَهُمْ لَمْ يُدْخِلُوهُ فِي الْبَيْتِ؟ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ قَوْمَكِ قَصَّرَتْ بِهِمُ النَّفَقَةُ» قُلْتُ فَمَا شَأْنُ بَابِهِ مُرْتَفِعًا؟ قَالَ «فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ قَوْمُكِ لِيُدْخِلُوا مَنْ شَاءُوا وَيَمْنَعُوا مَنْ شَاءُوا وَلَوْلَا أَنَّ قَوْمَكِ حَدِيثُ عَهْدٍ بِجَاهِلِيَّةٍ فَأَخَافُ أَنْ تُنْكِرَ قُلُوبُهُمْ لَعَمَدْتُ إِلَى الْحِجْرِ فَجَعَلْتُهُ فِي الْبَيْتِ وَأَلْزَقْتُ بَابَهُ بِالْأَرْضِ»

✧ I asked the Prophet ﷺ about the Hijr: "Is it part of the House?" He said, «Yes.» I said, "Then why did they not include it in the House?" He said, «Your people ran short of funds.» I said, "Why is its door raised high?" He said, «Your people did that to let in whomever they wished and keep out whomever they wished. Were it not that your people are still close to the time of ignorance, and I fear their hearts would reject it, I would incorporate the Hijr into the House and make its door level with the ground.»
