Narrated Aisha: I asked the Prophet ﷺ whether the round wall near Kaba was part of the Kaba. 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 Kaba? He said; Dont you see that your people Quraish ran short of money so they could not include it inside the building of Kaba ? 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 Kaba and I would have lowered its gate to the level of the ground.
