Hajj (Pilgrimage)
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الأَحْوَصِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَشْعَثُ، عَنِ الأَسْوَدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ سَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنِ الْجَدْرِ أَمِنَ الْبَيْتِ هُوَ قَالَ " نَعَمْ ". قُلْتُ فَمَا لَهُمْ لَمْ يُدْخِلُوهُ فِي الْبَيْتِ قَالَ " إِنَّ قَوْمَكِ قَصَّرَتْ بِهِمُ النَّفَقَةُ ". قُلْتُ فَمَا شَأْنُ بَابِهِ مُرْتَفِعًا قَالَ " فَعَلَ ذَلِكِ قَوْمُكِ لِيُدْخِلُوا مَنْ شَاءُوا وَيَمْنَعُوا مَنْ شَاءُوا، وَلَوْلاَ أَنَّ قَوْمَكِ حَدِيثٌ عَهْدُهُمْ بِالْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَأَخَافُ أَنْ تُنْكِرَ قُلُوبُهُمْ أَنْ أُدْخِلَ الْجَدْرَ فِي الْبَيْتِ وَأَنْ أُلْصِقَ بَابَهُ بِالأَرْضِ ".
Narrated `Aisha:I asked the Prophet (ﷺ) whether the round wall (near Ka`ba) was part of the Ka`ba. The Prophet (ﷺ) replied in the affirmative. I further said, "What is wrong with them, why have they not included it in the building of the Ka`ba?" He said, "Don't you see that your people (Quraish) ran short of money (so they could not include it inside the building of Ka`ba)?" I asked, "What about its gate? Why is it so high?" He replied, "Your people did this so as to admit into it whomever they liked and prevent whomever they liked. Were your people not close to the Pre-Islamic Period of ignorance (i.e. they have recently embraced Islam) and were I not afraid that they would dislike it, surely I would have included the (area of the) wall inside the building of the Ka`ba and I would have lowered its gate to the level of the groundRapporté par ‘Aisha : J’ai demandé au Prophète (ﷺ) si le mur arrondi (près de la Ka‘ba) faisait partie de la Ka‘ba. Le Prophète (ﷺ) a répondu oui. J’ai ajouté : « Pourquoi ne l’ont-ils pas inclus dans la construction de la Ka‘ba ? » Il a dit : « Tu ne vois pas que ton peuple (les Quraysh) a manqué d’argent (et n’a donc pas pu inclure cette partie dans la construction) ? » J’ai demandé : « Et la porte, pourquoi est-elle si haute ? » Il a répondu : « Ton peuple a fait cela pour pouvoir laisser entrer qui ils voulaient et empêcher qui ils voulaient. Si ton peuple n’était pas encore proche de la période d’ignorance (c’est-à-dire qu’ils viennent juste d’embrasser l’islam) et si je ne craignais pas qu’ils le prennent mal, j’aurais inclus le mur dans la Ka‘ba et j’aurais abaissé sa porte au niveau du sol. »Grades given by scholars
