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"?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Al-Bayhaqi mentioned in Shu'ab al-Iman the : "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 li ghayrihi (sound due to external corroboration), and its meaning is sound.
