It is narrated from Sayyida 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 emerged from the period of disbelief, I would have demolished the Ka'bah and rebuilt it upon the foundations of Ibrahim (peace be upon him). When the Quraysh constructed it, they reduced its size, and I would have also placed a door at the back of it.
