Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَلْقَمَةَ بْنِ أَبِي عَلْقَمَةَ عَنْ أُمِّهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ كُنْتُ أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَدْخُلَ الْبَيْتَ فَأُصَلِّيَ فِيهِ فَأَخَذَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَدِي فَأَدْخَلَنِي فِي الْحِجْرِ فَقَالَ لِي صَلِّي فِي الْحِجْرِ إِذَا أَرَدْتِ دُخُولَ الْبَيْتِ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ قِطْعَةٌ مِنْ الْبَيْتِ وَلَكِنَّ قَوْمَكِ اسْتَقْصَرُوا حِينَ بَنَوْا الْكَعْبَةَ فَأَخْرَجُوهُ مِنْ الْبَيْتِ.
English Translation
Qutaybah bin Sa'id told us, saying Abd al-Aziz bin Muhammad told us, from Alqamah bin Abi Alqamah, from his mother, from Aisha, who said: I used to love to enter the House and pray in it, so the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, took my hand and brought me into the Hijr, and said to me: Pray in the Hijr when you wish to enter the House, for it is indeed a part of the House, but your people fell short when they built the Kaaba and left it out of the House.
