أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى عَنْ خَالِدٍ عَنْ شُعْبَةَ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنِ الْأَسْوَدِ أَنَّ أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَتْ
إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَوْلَا أَنَّ قَوْمَكِ حَدِيثُو عَهْدٍ بِجَاهِلِيَّةٍ لَهَدَمْتُ الْكَعْبَةَ وَجَعَلْتُ لَهَا بَابَيْنِ» فَلَمَّا مَلَكَ ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ جَعَلَ لَهَا بَابَيْنِ
