It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him) circumcised himself at the age of one hundred and twenty years with al-Qadum (the name of a place or a tool), and when he (peace be upon him) passed away he was two hundred years old.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him) circumcised himself at the age of one hundred and twenty years with al-Qadum (the name of a place or a tool), and after that he lived for a further eighty years."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "When Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him) was commanded to build the House of Allah, Sayyiduna Isma'il and Sayyidah Hajar (peace be upon them both) set out with him. When he arrived in Makkah, he saw above his head, at the site of the House, something like a cloud-like shade in which there was something like a head. It spoke to him and said: 'O Ibrahim, build upon my shade (or according to my measure), and do not add to it or reduce from it.' So when he had built it, he left from there and left Isma'il and Hajar (peace be upon them both) behind. And this refers to the time when Allah Almighty said: 'And when We designated for Ibrahim the site of the House, (saying): Do not associate anything with Me, and purify My House for those who circle it, and those who stand, and those who bow and prostrate' [Surah al-Hajj: 26] ." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs, but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: "Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him) came and found Isma'il (peace be upon him) repairing a house of his behind Zamzam. Ibrahim (peace be upon him) said to him: 'O Isma'il, your Lord has commanded me to build the House of Allah.' Isma'il (peace be upon him) said to him: 'Then obey your Lord in what He has commanded you.' Ibrahim (peace be upon him) said: 'Then help me with this task.' Isma'il (peace be upon him) agreed (saying he was ready), and he stood up with him. Ibrahim (peace be upon him) began building it and Isma'il (peace be upon him) began handing him the stones, and the two of them kept saying (this supplication): 'Our Lord, accept (this service) from us; indeed, You are the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing' [Surah al-Baqarah: 127] ." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs, but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: "When Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him) had built the House of Allah, Allah Almighty revealed to him: 'Proclaim the Hajj among the people.' Ibrahim (peace be upon him) called out: 'Listen! Your Lord has taken a House and has commanded you to perform Hajj to it.' So every stone, tree, mound or bit of earth that heard his call responded: 'Labbayk Allahumma labbayk' (Here I am, O Allah, here I am)." The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs did not record it.
