كَانَ طُولُ الْكَعْبَةِ يَوْمَئِذٍ تِسْعَةَ أَذْرُعٍ وَ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهَا سَقْفٌ فَسَقَّفَهَا قُرَيْشٌ ثَمَانِيَةَ عَشَرَ ذِرَاعاً فَلَمْ تَزَلْ ثُمَّ كَسَرَهَا الْحَجَّاجُ عَلَى ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ فَبَنَاهَا وَ جَعَلَهَا سَبْعَةً وَ عِشْرِينَ ذِرَاعاً.

8. It is narrated from ibn abu Nasr from Aban ibn ‘Uthman who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah (a.s.), has said that the height of al-Ka‘bah in those days was nine yards and it did not have a roof. Quraysh made a roof for it with height of eighteen yards, with which it remained until Hajjaj destroyed it on (during his fight with) ibn al-Zubayr. He rebuilt it and made it twenty-seven yards high.’”
