Abdullah bin Ubayd reported,

Harith bin Abdullah came as a delegate to Abdul-Malik bin Marwan during his caliphate. Abdul-Malik said, "I do not think that Abu Khubayb, meaning Ibn Zubayr, actually heard from Ayesha what he claimed to have heard from her."Harith replied, "On the contrary, I myself heard it from her."Abdul-Malik asked, "What did you hear her say?"Harith said, "She said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ told her, 'Your people fell short in the construction of the House. Were it not that they have only recently abandoned polytheism, I would have restored what they left out of it. If your people decide after me to rebuild it, then come, let me show you what they left out.' He then showed her about seven cubits."This is the wording of Abdullah bin Ubayd. Walid bin Ata added that the Prophet ﷺ said, "I would have made for it two doors set level with the ground, one to the east and one to the west. Do you know why your people raised its door above the ground?"She said, "I said, no."He said, "Out of pride, so that no one would enter it except whom they wished. When a man wanted to enter it, they would let him climb up, and just as he was about to enter, they would push him so that he fell."Abdul-Malik said to Harith, "You yourself heard her say this?"He said, "Yes."Abdul-Malik then poked the ground with his staff for a while and said, "I wish I had left it alone with what it contains."

عن عبد الله بن عبيد قال

وفد الحارث بن عبد الله على عبد الملك بن مروان في خلافته، فقال عبد الملك: ما أظن أبا خبيب- يعني ابن الزبير سمع من عائشة ما كان يزعم أنه سمعه منها! قال الحارث: بلى أنا سمعته منها. قال: سمعتها تقول ماذا؟ قال: قالت: قال رسول الله ﷺ: إن قومك استقصروا من بنيان البيت ولولا حداله عهدهم بالشرك أعدت ما تركوا منه، فإن بدا لقومك من بعدي أن يبنوه فهلمي لأريك ما تركوا منه. فأراها قريبا من سبعة أذرع. هذا حديث عبد الله بن عبيد، وزاد عليه الوليد بن عطاء قال النبي ﷺ: لجعلت لها بابين موضوعين في الأرض شرقيا وغربيا. وهل تدرين لم كان قومك رفعوا بابها؟ قالت: قلت لا قال: تعززا أن لا يدخلها إلا من أرادوا، فكان الرجل إذا هو أراد أن يدخلها يدعونه يرتقي حتى إذا كاد أن يدخل دفعوه فسقط. قال عبد الملك للحارث: أنت سمعتها تقول هذا؟ قال: نعم قال: فنكت ساعة بعصاه ثم قال وددت أني تركته وما تحمل.
