The role of Prophet Adam (AS) in the construction of the Ka'ba depends on different views about the time of the Kaaba's origin, leading to variations in opinions. In some Shia and Sunni narrations, the existence of the Kaaba before Adam (AS) is mentioned,<ref>Shāfiʿī, ''Musnad al-Shāfiʿī'', p. 116; Ṣadūq, ''Man lā yaḥḍuruh al-faqīh'', vol. 2, p. 250.</ref> and reports of angels performing the pilgrimage before Adam support this idea.<ref>Kulaynī, ''Al-Kāfī'', vol. 4, p. 194; Ṣadūq, ''Man lā yaḥḍuruh al-faqīh'', vol. 2, p. 230; Suyūṭī, ''Al-Durr al-manthūr'', vol. 1, p. 130.</ref> In some reports, the history of the | The role of Prophet Adam (AS) in the construction of the Ka'ba depends on different views about the time of the Kaaba's origin, leading to variations in opinions.

Commentators often discuss these narratives in light of the verse {إِنَّ أَوَّلَ بَیتٍ وُضِعَ لِلنَّاسِ لَلَّذِی بِبَکةَ مُبَارَکا...} (Quran:3:96) and consider this verse as supporting those narratives.<ref>Ṭabarī, ''Jāmiʾ al-bayān'', vol. 1, p. 762.</ref> In another category of narratives, Adam is considered the first founder of the [[Ka'ba]], and also [[Jerusalem]].<ref>Kulaynī, ''Al-Kāfī'', vol. 4, p. 188; Aynī, ''ʿUmdat al-qarī'', vol. 15, p. 262; Suyūṭī, ''Sharḥ al-sunan al-nisāʾī'', vol. 2, p. 33.</ref> In a narration by ''Wahb b.

Many scholars and interpreters, based on certain narrations, consider Prophet Abraham (AS) as the first founder of the Ka'ba,<ref>Bukhārī, ''Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī'', vol. 4, p. 116; Ṭabarī, ''Jāmiʾ al-bayān'', vol. 1, p. 763; Ibn Kathīr al-Dimashqī, ''Tafsīr al-Qurʾān al-ʿaẓīm'', vol. 3, p. 226.</ref> not attributing any role to Adam in this regard.
