It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If your people had not recently come out of disbelief, I would have included Hatim within the Sacred House of Allah." Imam Abu Bakr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that I have mentioned a narration similar to these words in Kitab al-Kabir, whose wording is general but the intended meaning is specific.
