عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ ، قَالَ : لَمَّا كَانَ أَهْلُ الشَّامِ فِي الْجَيْشِ الأَوَّلِ جَيْشِ الْحُصَيْنِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ ، حَرَقَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْ نَحْوِ بَابِ بَنِي جُمَحٍ وَالْمَسْجِدُ يَوْمَئِذٍ مَلآنُ خِيَامًا وَأَبْنِيَةً ، فَسَارَ الْحَرِيقُ حَتَّى أَحْرَقَ الْبَيْتَ ، فَأَحَرَقَ كُلَّ شَيْءٍ عَلَيْهِ وَيَحْرِدُ ، حَتَّى إِذْ طَائِرًا لَيَقَعُ عَلَيْهِ فَتَنْتَثِرُ حِجَارَتُهُ ، قَالَ ابْنُ جُرَيْجٍ ، قَالَ لِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُرْتَفِعِ ، قَالَ : فَوَاللَّهِ إِنَّا لَنُصَلِّي ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ الْعِشَاءَ وَرَاءَ ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، إِذَا رَأَيْتُ فِي جَوْفِ الْبَيْتِ وَرَأَيْنَا مِنْ خَلِّ الْبَابِ ، فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ ، قَالَ : هَلْ رَأَيْتُمْ ؟ ، قُلْنَا : نَعَمْ ، قَالَ : فَأَجْمَعَ ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ لِهَدْمِهِ وَبِنَائِهِ ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيَّ كَذَا وَكَذَا بَعِيرًا يَحْمِلُ الْوَرْسَ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ ، وَذَكَرَ أَرْبَعَةَ آلافِ بَعِيرٍ ، وَشَيْئًا سَمَّاهُ ، يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَجْعَلَهُ مَدَرًا لِلْبَيْتِ ، ثُمَّ قِيلَ لَهُ إِنَّ الْوَرْسَ يَعْفُنُ وَيَرْفُتُ ، فَقَسَّمَ الْوَرْسَ فِي نِسَاءِ قُرَيْشٍ وَقَوَاعِدِهِنَّ ، وَبَنَى بِالْقَصَّةِ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْهِ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ لَمَّا أَحْضَرَ حَاجَتَهُ : إِنْ كُنْتَ فَاعِلا فَلا تَدَعِ النَّاسَ لا قِبْلَةَ لَهُمْ ، اجْعَلْ عَلَى زَوَايَاهَا صَوَارِيَ ، وَاجْعَلْ عَلَيْهَا سُتُورًا يُصَلِّي النَّاسُ إِلَيْهَا ، فَفَعَلَ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ يَوْمُ الأَحَدِ ، صَعِدَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ،مَا تَرَوْنَ فِي هَدْمِ الْبَيْتِ ، فَلَمْ يَخْتَلِفَ عَلَيْهِ أَحَدٌ ، فَقَالُوا : نَرَى أَنْ لا تَهْدِمَهُ ، فَسَكَتَ عَنْهُمْ حَتَّى إِذَا انْتَفَدَ رَأْيَهُمْ ، قَالَ : يَظَلُّ أَحَدُكُمْ يَسُدُّ أُسَّهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ، وَأَنْتُمْ تَرَوْنَ الطَّائِرَ يَقَعُ عَلَيْهِ فَتَنْتَثِرُ حِجَارَتُهُ ، أَلا إِنِّي هَادِمٌ غَدًا ، وَوَافَقَ ذَلِكَ جِنَازَةَ رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي بَكْرٍ ، فَاتَّبَعَهَا مَنْ كَانَ يُرِيدُ اتِّبَاعَهَا وَمَنْ كَانَ لا يُرِيدُ اتِّبَاعَهَا ، وَكُسِرَتْ لَهُ وِسَادَةٌ عِنْدَ الْمَقَامِ ، ثُمَّ عَلاهُ رِجَالٌ مِنْ وَرَاءِ السُّتُورِ ، وَفَرَغَ النَّاسُ مِنْ جِنَازَتِهِمْ ، فَالذَّاهِبُ فِي مِنًى وَالذَّاهِبُ فِي بِئْرِ مَيْمُونٍ ، لا يَرَوْنَ إِلا أَنَّهُ سَيُصِيبُهُمْ صَاخَّةٌ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ ، فَلَمَّا أَتَى النَّاسُ ، فَقِيلَ : ادْخُلُوا فَقَدْ وَاللَّهِ هَدَمَ ، دَخَلَ النَّاسُ ، وَحَفَرَ حَتَّى هَدَمَهَا عَنْ رَبَضٍ فِي الْحِجْرِ ، فَإِذَا هُوَ آخِذٌ بَعْضُهُ بِبَعْضٍ لا يَسْتَحِقُّ فَدَعَا مُكَبِّرَةَ قُرَيْشٍ ، فَأَرَاهُمْ إِيَّاهُ ، وَأَخَذَ ابْنُ مُطِيعٍ الْعَتَلَةَ مِنْ شِقِّ الرَّبَضِ الَّذِي يَلِي دَارَ بَنِي حُمَيْدٍ ، فَأَنْفَضَهُ أَجْمَعَ أَكْتَعَ ، ثُمَّ بَنَاهَا حَتَّى سَمَاهَا ، وَجَعَلَ لَهَا بَابَيْنِ مَوْضُوعَيْنِ فِي الأَرْضِ شَرْقِيًّا وَغَرْبِيًّا يَدْخُلُ النَّاسُ مِنْ هَذَا الْبَابِ ، وَيَخْرُجُونَ مِنْ هَذَا ، فَبَنَاهَا ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْ بِنَائِهَا كَانَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ حُفْرَةٌ مُنْكَرَةٌ وَجَرَاثِيمُ وَتَعَادٍ ، فَآبَ النَّاسُ إِلَى بَطْحِهِ فَجَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ يَبْطَحُ عَلَى مِائَةِ بَعِيرٍ وَادِيٍّ مِنْ ذَلِكَ ، حَتَّى إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَخْرُجُ فِي حُلَّتِهِ وَقَمِيصِهِ إِلَى ذِي طُوًى ، فَيَأْتِي فِي طَرْفِ رِدَائِهِ بِبَطْحَاءَ ، يَحْتَسِبُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْخَيْرَ حَتَّى إِذَا مَلَّ النَّاسُ أَخَذَ يُقْوِتُهُ فَبَطَحَ حَتَّى اسْتَوَى ، فَقَالَ : يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ، إِنِّي أَرَى أَنْ تَعْتَمِرُوا مِنَ التَّنْعِيمِ مُشَاةً فَمَنْ كَانَ مُوسِرًا بَجَزُورٍ نَحَرَهَا وَإِلا فَبَقَرَةٍ ، وَإِلا فَشَاةٍ ، قَالَ : فَذَكَرْتُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ كَثْرَةِ النَّاسِ ، دَبَّتِ الأَرْضُ سَهْلُهَا وَجَبَلُهَا ، نَاسًا كِبَارًا وَنَاسًا صِغَارًا ، وَعَذَارَى ، وَثَيِّبًا ، وَنِسَاءً ، وَالْحَلْقَ ، قَالَ : فَأَتَيْنَا الْبَيْتَ فَطُفْنَا مَعَهُ وَسَعَيْنَا بَيْنَ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةِ ، ثُمَّ نَحَرْنَا وَذَبَحْنَا فَمَا رَأَيْتُ الرُّءُوسَ وَالْكَرْعَانَ وَالأَذْرُعَ فِي مَكَانٍ أَكْثَرَ مِنْهَا يَوْمَئِذٍ "

From Ibn Jurayj, he said: when the people of Sham were in the first army, the army of al-Husayn ibn Numayr, a man burned from near the door of Banu Jumah, while the mosque that day was full of tents and buildings. The fire spread till it burned the House, burning all upon it, till a bird alighting upon it scattered its stones. Ibn Jurayj said: a Qurashi man called Muhammad ibn al-Murtafi' said to me: by Allah, as we prayed one night Isha behind Ibn al-Zubayr, I saw in the belly of the House — and we saw through the gap of the door. When Ibn al-Zubayr finished, he said: did you see? We said: yes. He said: Ibn al-Zubayr resolved to demolish and build it. He sent to me so-and-so camels carrying wars dye from Yemen — he mentioned four thousand camels — and something he named, wanting to make it mortar for the House. Then he was told wars rots and crumbles, so he distributed the wars among the women and seated women of Quraysh, and built with gypsum. When he prepared his need, Ibn Abbas sent to him: if thou doest, do not leave people with no qibla; place poles on its corners, and place curtains upon them, that people pray to them. He did so, until on Sunday he ascended the minbar, then said: O people, what deem ye of demolishing the House? None differed with him. They said: we deem thou not demolish it. He was silent with them, until when their opinion waned, he said: one of you keeps stopping his fundament upon his head, while you see a bird alight upon it scattering its stones. Lo, I shall demolish tomorrow. That coincided with the funeral of a man of Banu Bakr, which those who would follow it followed and those who would not. A cushion was broken for him at the Maqam. Then men mounted it from behind the curtains. The people finished their funeral; one going to Mina, one going to the well of Maymun, deeming only that a blast from heaven would strike them. When the people came, it was said: enter, for by Allah he demolished. The people entered. He dug till he demolished it down to a foundation in the Hijr — and it held together, inseparable. He called the elders of Quraysh and showed them it. Ibn Muti' took the crowbar from the side of the foundation toward the house of Banu Humayd, and shook it all, entire. Then he built it till he named it, making for it two doors flush with the ground, eastern and western; people enter from this door and exit from this. He built it. When he finished building it, there was in the mosque a great pit, rubble and trespass. The people returned to the valley bed; a man would lay a hundred laden valley camels of it, till a man went out in his suit and shirt to Dhu Tuwa, bringing in the edge of his cloak gravel, seeking good therein, until when the people tired, he took to feeding it, laying gravel till it leveled. He said: O people, I deem ye perform Umra from al-Tan'im walking; whoever is rich, a camel he sacrifices, else a cow, else a sheep. He said: I recalled the Day of Resurrection from the multitude of people; the earth, plain and mountain, crept with people, great and small, virgins, previously married, women, and the shaven. He said: we came to the House, circumambulated with him, ran between al-Safa and al-Marwa, then sacrificed and slaughtered. I never saw heads, trotters and forearms in a place more than that day.
