7. It is narrated from him (narrator of previous Hadith) from Sa‘id ibn Junah from a number of our people who has said the following
“Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that the height of al-Ka‘bah at the time of Ibrahim was nine yards and it had two doors. ‘Abd Allah ibn Zubayr raised it to eighteen yards. Hajjaj destroyed it and raised it to twenty-seven yards.”
7ـ عَنْهُ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جَنَاحٍ عَنْ عِدَّةٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الله (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) قَالَ
كَانَتِ الْكَعْبَةُ عَلَى عَهْدِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ (عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَم) تِسْعَةَ أَذْرُعٍ وَكَانَ لَهَا بَابَانِ فَبَنَاهَا عَبْدُ الله بْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ فَرَفَعَهَا ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ ذِرَاعاً فَهَدَمَهَا الْحَجَّاجُ فَبَنَاهَا سَبْعَةً وَعِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً.
