Is there a noble prophetic hadith stating that: "The demolition of the Kaaba is less significant to Allah than shedding the blood of a Muslim"?
Al-Bayhaqi mentioned in Shu'ab al-Iman the hadith: "The perishing of theuld is easier for Allah Almighty than the shedding of a Muslim's blood without right," and it was narrated with the wording: "The demolition of the Kaaba, stone by stone, is easier than the killing of a Muslim." Al-Sakhawi said: I have not come across it with this wording, but its meaning was narrated by Al-Tabarani. And the hadith has many narrations, some of which strengthen others, thus raising it to the level of sahih li ghayrihi (sound due to external corroboration), and its meaning is sound.
