Some people, citing a hadith attributed to Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) addressed to Aisha [15.  Ṣaḥīḥ ibn Khuzaimah , vol. 2, p. 1413; ‘’Ṣaḥīḥ al-Muslim vol. 2, p. 968.], believe that a part of the current stone of Ismail was part of the Kaaba, which was placed in the inner stone due to the financial inability of the Quraish to rebuild the Kaaba in the fifth year before the Prophet. [16. Al-Tārīkh al-qawīm , vol. 2, p. 573] They have even considered the naming of the stone to be appropriate to the stonework defining the remaining part of the Kaaba and to prevent people from entering it.[17. Ḥamawī, Yāqūt b. ʿAbd Allāh al-. ‘’Muʿjam al-buldān’’vol. 2, p. 221.]

Abdullah bin Zubair in 64 AH. In rebuilding the Kaaba, he added the mentioned part to the Kaaba, but Hajjaj bin Yusuf after obtaining permission from Abdul Malik bin Marwan (reigned 65-86 AH) in 74 AH. He restored the building of the Kaaba to its previous form. [18.  Rastih, Aḥmad b. ʿUmar b. Al-aʿlāq al-nafīsah. , p. 30;  Azraqī, Muḥammad b. ʿAbd Allāh al-. ‘’Akhbār Makka Vol. 1, p. 214.] The area of the stone has remained unchanged since then.

Sources from stone pavement in 140 AH. By order of Mansour Abbasi (reigned 136-158 AH)[19.  Azraqī, Muḥammad b. ʿAbd Allāh al-. ‘’Akhbār Makka , vol. 1, p. 313;   Alī b. Tāj al-ddīn al-sanjārī. ‘’Manāʾiḥ al-karam‘, vol. 2, p. 92.] and its reconstruction in 164 AH. By the order of Mahdi Abbasi (Haq: 158-169 AH) [20.   ‘’Akhbār Makka   Volume 1, pp. 313-314; Kurdī, Muḥammad Ṭāhir. ‘’Al-Tārīkh al-qawīm, vol. 2, p. 579.] they reported. Other renovations were done in 1040, 1260 and 1283 AH. It was done during the period of the Ottoman sultans.[21.  Al-Tarikh al-Qawaym, vol. 2, p. 579.]

The order of Tawaf in Hajar Ismail

The method of circumambulation and also the obligatory and recommended prayers at Hajar Ismail have been disputed by Shia and Sunni jurists, and the root of this difference is the difference in their views on whether or not Hajar Ismail is a part of the Kaaba.[22. PūrAmīnī, Muḥammad Amīn. Ḥijr Ismaʿīl. pp. 42-61;    Quarterly magazine of Mīqāt-I Ḥajj. vol. 8, p. 111.     Ḥijr Ismaʿīl”.]

Shia scholars have unanimously placed Hajar Ismail inside the door of Tawaf, and in case of entering Hajar Ismail while doing Tawaf, they have ruled to return it and repeat it. [23. Ṭūsī, Muḥammad b. al-Ḥaasn al-. ‘’Al-Khilāf’’vol. 2, p. 324; , ‘’Majmaʿ al-fāʾida wa al-burhān Vol. 7, p. 79.] Sunni jurists have also considered Tawaf outside Hajar as permissible and only to Abu Hanifa’s belief is that entering the stone does not disturb the correctness of Tawaf.[24.      , vol. 2, p. 193; Abū al-khatāb al-kalūdhānī.Al-Hidāya p. 190.]
