وَقَالَ إِسْحَاقُ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ خُثَيْمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ ؓ، قَالَ:

كَانَتِ الْكَعْبَةُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ مَبْنِيَّةً بِالرَّضْمِ لَيْسَ فِيهِ مَدَرٌ، وَكَانَتْ قَدْرَ مَا يَقْتَحِمُهَا الْعَنَاقُ، وَكَانَتْ غَيْرَ مَهُولَةٍ إِنَّمَا يُوضَعُ ثِيَابُهَا عَلَيْهَا ثُمَّ تُسْدَلُ سَدْلًا عَلَيْهَا، وَكَانَ الرُّكْنُ الْأَسْوَدُ مَوْضُوعًا عَلَى سُورِهَا بَادِيًا، وَكَانَتْ ذَاتَ رُكْنَيْنِ كَهَيْئَةِ الْحَلْقَةِ، مُرَبَّعَةً مِنْ جَانِبٍ وَمُدَوَّرَةً مِنْ جَانِبٍ، فَأَقْبَلَتْ سَفِينَةٌ مِنْ أَرْضِ الرُّومِ، حَتَّى إِذَا كَانُوا قَرِيبًا مِنْ جُدَّةَ انْكَسَرَتِ السَّفِينَةُ، فَخَرَجَتْ قُرَيْشٌ لِيَأْخُذُوا خَشَبَهَا فَوَجَدُوا رُومِيًّا عِنْدَهَا، فَأَخَذُوا الْخَشَبَ، فَأَعْطَاهُمْ إِيَّاهَا، وَكَانَتِ السَّفِينَةُ تُرِيدُ الْحَبَشَةَ، وَكَانَ الرُّومِيُّ الَّذِي فِي السَّفِينَةِ تَاجِرًا، فَقَدِمُوا بِالْخَشَبِ، وَقَدِمُوا بِالرُّومِيِّ، فَقَالَتْ قُرَيْشٌ: نَبْنِي بِهَذَا الْخَشَبِ بَيْتَ رَبِّنَا، فَلَمَّا أَرَادُوا هَدْمَهُ إِذَا هُمْ بِحَيَّةٍ عَلَى سُورِ الْبَيْتِ، بَيْضَاءَ الْبَطْنِ، سَوْدَاءَ الظَّهْرِ، فَجَعَلَتْ كُلَّمَا دَنَا أَحَدٌ إِلَى الْبَيْتِ لِيَهْدِمَهُ يَأْخُذَ مِنْ حِجَارَتِهِ سَعَتْ إِلَيْهِ فَاتِحَةً فَاهَا، فَاجْتَمَعَتْ قُرَيْشٌ عِنْدَ الْمَقَامِ فَعَجُّوا إِلَى اللهِ تَعَالَى، قَالَ: وَقَالُوا: رَبَّنَا لَمْ تُرَعْ، أَرَدْنَا تَشْرِيفَ بَيْتِكَ وَتَزْيِينَهُ، فَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَرْضَى بِذَلِكَ، وَإِلَّا فَمَا بَدَا لَكَ فَافْعَلْ، فَسَمِعُوا جَوَابًا فِي السَّمَاءِ، فَإِذَا بِطَائِرٍ أَعْظَمَ مِنَ النَّسْرِ أَسْوَدَ الظَّهْرِ أَبْيَضَ الْبَطْنِ وَالرِّجْلَيْنِ، فَغَرَزَ مَخَالِبَهُ فِي بَطْنِ الْحَيَّةِ، ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ بِهَا يَجُرُّهَا وَذَنَبُهَا سَاقِطٌ، حَتَّى انْطَلَقَ بِهَا نَحْوَ جِيَادٍ، فَهَدَمَتْهَا قُرَيْشٌ، فَجَعَلُوا يَبْنُونَهَا بِحِجَارَةِ الْوَادِي، تَحْمِلُهَا قُرَيْشٌ عَلَى رِقَابِهَا، وَرَفَعُوهَا فِي السَّمَاءِ عِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعًا، فَبَيْنَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَحْمِلُ حِجَارَهُ مِنْ أَجْيَادٍ وَعَلَيْهِ نَمِرَةٌ، فَضَاقَتْ عَلَيْهِ النَّمِرَةُ، فَذَهَبَ بَعْضُ النَّمِرَةِ عَلَى عَاتِقِهِ فَتُرَى عَوْرَتُهُ مِنْ صِغَرِ النَّمِرَةِ، فَنُودِيَ: يَا مُحَمَّدُ، خَمِّرْ عَوْرَتَكَ، فَلَمْ يُرَ عُرْيَانًا بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، وَكَانَ بَيْنَ بِنَائِهَا وَبَيْنَ مَا أَنْزَلَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ خَمْسَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً، فَلَمَّا كَانَ جَيْشُ الْحُصَيْنِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ... فَذَكَرَ حَرِيقَهَا فِي زَمَانِ ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ؓ.

✧ In the pre-Islamic era, the Kaaba was built of loose stones, with no mud. It was only as high as a young goat could leap over, and it was not roofed. Its covering was simply placed on top and let hang down. The Black Corner was set on its wall, visible. It had two corners, like a ring, square on one side and round on the other. A ship came from the land of the Romans, and when it was near Jeddah, it broke apart. Quraysh went out to take its timber and found a Roman with it. They took the timber, and he gave it to them. The ship had been heading for Abyssinia, and the Roman on the ship was a merchant. They brought the timber and the Roman. Quraysh said, 'We will build the House of our Lord with this timber.' When they wanted to demolish it, behold, there was a snake on the wall of the House, white-bellied and black-backed. Every time someone approached the House to demolish it or take a stone from it, it rushed at him with its mouth open. Quraysh gathered at the Maqam and cried out to Allah, exalted is He. He said: They said, 'Our Lord, we are not afraid. We intended to honor and adorn Your House. If You approve of that, then so be it; otherwise, whatever You decide, do.' They heard an answer from the sky, and behold, there was a bird larger than a vulture, black-backed, with white belly and legs. It sank its talons into the snake's belly and carried it off, dragging it with its tail hanging down, until it took it toward Ajyad. Quraysh demolished it, and they began rebuilding it with stones from the valley, carrying them on their necks, and they raised it twenty cubits into the air. While the Prophet ﷺ was carrying stones from Ajyad, wearing a striped cloak, the cloak was too tight for him, and part of it slipped from his shoulder, so his private area was visible because of the smallness of the cloak. A voice called out, 'O Muhammad, cover your private area.' He was never seen naked after that. Between its building and what Allah revealed to him was fifteen years. When the army of al-Husayn b. Numayr came... and he mentioned its burning in the time of Ibn al-Zubayr ؓ.
