It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with them both), he says: My maternal aunt, the Mother of the Believers, Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated to me that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: If your people had not recently abandoned polytheism or the era of ignorance, I would have demolished the Ka'bah, brought its door level with the ground, and made two doors—one to the east and one to the west—and I would have added six cubits to it from the side of Hatim, because when the Quraysh rebuilt it, they had reduced its size.
