It is narrated from Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When your people built the Ka'bah, they made a deficiency in it from how Ibrahim (peace be upon him) had built it." Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Why do you not build it as Ibrahim (peace be upon him) had built it? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If your people’s disbelief had not been so recent, I would have done so." Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: Perhaps for this reason the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not touch the Sham and Iraqi corners which are adjacent to the Hatim, because the Ka'bah was not upon the foundation of Ibrahim (peace be upon him).

It is narrated from Hazrat Urwah bin Zubair that Ummul Momineen Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I do not see any difference between praying inside the Ka'bah or in the Hatim.

Ibn Shihab heard from some scholars, who said: A wall was raised around the Hatim and it was included in the Tawaf, so that the Tawaf of the entire Ka'bah would be completed.
