Narrated by Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me, "If your people had not only recently abandoned disbelief, I would have demolished the Ka'bah and rebuilt it upon the foundations of Ibrahim (peace be upon him), because the Quraysh had reduced its size. I would have made one door and placed another door opposite to it."

The purified wife of the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him), Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said to me: "Do you know, when your people rebuilt the Ka'bah, they left out the foundation of Ibrahim?" I said, "O Messenger of Allah, then why do you not build it upon the foundation of Ibrahim?" He replied, "If your people were not so close to the time of disbelief, I would certainly have done so." Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "If Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) heard this from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) (and indeed Lady Aisha is truthful), then I think this is the reason why the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) did not kiss the corners of the walls adjacent to Hatim, because the Ka'bah was not completed upon the foundations of Ibrahim."
