It is narrated from Abu Qaza’ah that Abdul Malik was performing Tawaf of the House of Allah, during which he said: May Allah destroy Ibn Zubair, he fabricates lies against Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) and says that she heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: If your people had not only recently abandoned disbelief and embraced Islam, I would have demolished the House of Allah and included a portion of Hatim within it; when your people, the Quraysh, rebuilt it, they could not complete its construction. Upon hearing this, Harith bin Abdullah bin Abi Rabi’ah said: O Commander of the Faithful! Do not say this, for I myself heard the Lady (may Allah be pleased with her) narrate this hadith. Abdul Malik said: If I had heard this before demolishing the Ka’bah, I would have left the House of Allah as Ibn Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) had constructed it.
