The answer

What is established in the narrations is that Ibrahim and Ismail, peace be upon them, built the Kaaba, with Ismail handing stones from the stones of Mecca to Ibrahim. As for the narrations that mention the Kaaba was built from stones of five different mountains, these are mursal (missing the first narrator in the chain) and weak narrations that cannot be used as proof, and there is nothing in them to indicate that a mountain moved from its place; rather, its stones were taken. Al-Suhaili mentioned that angels would bring the stones from those mountains to Ibrahim.
