The air inside the Kaaba was warm, even at night. Gently flowing perfume.
Apparently, important guests got an invitation to wipe the walls of the Kingdom of the Kaaba with unscented cloth.

Historians, including Dr. Muhammad Ilyas Abdul Ghani, said the Kaaba was built up to 12 times. Popular chronicle mentions the shrine was first founded by angels. Only then the Prophet Adam, Prophet Abraham, then by the Quraish at the time of Ignorance - and Muhammad SAW contributing to build it when he was 25 years old.
Latest development made by Ibn Zubair. But the reconstruction continues to occur, among others, in the era of Abdul Malik Marwan government in 74 Hijri (683 AD). Reconstruction was also performed at the time of Sultan Murad Khan in the year 1039 Hijri (1630 AD) after some buildings damaged by flooding.

Muhammad played a major role during the construction of the Kaaba by Quraish nation in the era of Ignorance. At that time, the tribes fighting over the right to put the Black Stone. Disputes occur so that the development stalled for 4-5 days. Then it was decided the first to enter where they berdialoglah which will put the Black Stone. Apparently, that person is Muhammad SAW. "This is Al-Amin, we are pleased with Muhammad" they said.

He is basing his actions on the hadith which states the Quraish intentionally elevating the Kaaba door because people want to restrict who can enter only certain people.
Hijir Ismailsebenarnya is part of the Kaaba. It was narrated from Abdul Hamid bin Jubair from her aunt Safiyah bint Syaibah, "Aisha said to Rasululloh SAW, 'O Rasululloh, can I go to Baitulloh?', He said, 'go into Hijir Ishmael, because he is still part of Baitulloh'."
