Sahih Muslim Book - 15, Hadith - 3248

وَحَدَّثَنِى مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بَكْرٍ السَّهْمِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا حَاتِمُ بْنُ أَبِى صَغِيرَةَ عَنْ أَبِى قَزَعَةَ أَنَّ عَبْدَ الْمَلِكِ بْنَ مَرْوَانَ بَيْنَمَا هُوَ يَطُوفُ بِالْبَيْتِ إِذْ قَالَ قَاتَلَ اللَّهُ ابْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ حَيْثُ يَكْذِبُ عَلَى أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُهَا تَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- « يَا عَائِشَةُ لَوْلاَ حِدْثَانُ قَوْمِكِ بِالْكُفْرِ لَنَقَضْتُ الْبَيْتَ حَتَّى أَزِيدَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْحِجْرِ فَإِنَّ قَوْمَكِ قَصَّرُوا فِى الْبِنَاءِ ». فَقَالَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِى رَبِيعَةَ لاَ تَقُلْ هَذَا يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَأَنَا سَمِعْتُ أُمَّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ تُحَدِّثُ هَذَا. قَالَ لَوْ كُنْتُ سَمِعْتُهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَهْدِمَهُ لَتَرَكْتُهُ عَلَى مَا بَنَى ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ.

It was narrated from Abu Qaza‘ah that while ‘Abdul-Malik bin Marwan was circumambulating the Ka‘bah, he said: “May Ibn Az-Zubair be doomed! For he told a lie about the Mother of the Believers when he said: ‘I heard her say: “The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: ‘O ‘Aishah, were it not that your people have only recently left disbelief behind, I would have demolished the House and added part of the Hijr to it, for your people reduced its size when they rebuilt it.”’ Al-Harith bin “Abdullah bin Abi Rabi‘ah said: “Do not say that, O Commander of the Believers, for I heard the Mother of the Believers narrating that.” He said: “If I had heard it before I demolished it, I would have left it as Ibn Az-Zubair built it.”
