عمارة ابن الزبير للكعبة
عمارة ابن الزبير للكعبة
c. 684 CE · 64 AH
Ibn al-Zubayr renewed the Ka'ba's fabric, giving it two doors upon Abraham's foundations and restoring six cubits of the Hijr into it — following what his aunt Aisha had related of the Prophet: 'were your people not fresh from unbelief I would have razed the Ka'ba to the ground, made it an eastern and a western door, and added six cubits of the Hijr, for Quraysh scanted it when they built it'. One account makes him also the first to clothe it in dibaj, its coverings before having been hides and striped cloth {cite:tarikh-khulafa-minhaj-1434 p. 349, 351}.
