Sunan an-Nasa’i: Book 24, Hadith 286
“ يَا عَائِشَةُ لَوْلاَ أَنَّ قَوْمَكِ حَدِيثُ عَهْدٍ بِجَاهِلِيَّةٍ لأَمَرْتُ بِالْبَيْتِ فَهُدِمَ فَأَدْخَلْتُ فِيهِ مَا أُخْرِجَ مِنْهُ وَأَلْزَقْتُهُ بِالأَرْضِ وَجَعَلْتُ لَهُ بَابَيْنِ بَابًا شَرْقِيًّا وَبَابًا غَرْبِيًّا فَإِنَّهُمْ قَدْ عَجَزُوا عَنْ بِنَائِهِ فَبَلَغْتُ بِهِ أَسَاسَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ ” . قَالَ فَذَلِكَ الَّذِي حَمَلَ ابْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ عَلَى هَدْمِهِ . قَالَ يَزِيدُ وَقَدْ شَهِدْتُ ابْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ حِينَ هَدَمَهُ وَبَنَاهُ وَأَدْخَلَ فِيهِ مِنَ الْحِجْرِ وَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ أَسَاسَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ حِجَارَةً كَأَسْنِمَةِ الإِبِلِ مُتَلاَحِكَةً .

The above hadith is from the Sunan an-Nasa’i collection of hadiths. The Sunan an-Nasa’i is a critical compilation within Islamic scholarship, authored by the expert hadith critic Ahmad ibn Shu’ayb al-Nasa’i. This collection, finalized in the 9th century, earns its place among the six primary books of hadith that form the core of Sunni Islamic tradition. Containing in excess of 5,700 carefully selected narrations, the work focuses on capturing the complete spectrum of the Prophet’s Sunnah. Imam al-Nasa’i applied an incredibly strict methodology, filtering out any hadiths with weaknesses or potential fabrication. Consequently, his Sunan is celebrated for its outstanding authenticity and is consistently ranked as a supremely reliable reference for scholars and students alike.
