Imam Muslim (may Allah have mercy upon him) said:
وُلِدَ حَكِيمُ بْنُ حِزَامٍ فِي جَوْفِ الْكَعْبَةِ وَعَاشَ مِائَةً وَعِشْرِينَ سَنَةً .
Hakim ibn Hizam was born inside the Ka’ba and lived for one hundred and twenty years
[Saheeh Muslim no. 1532]
Imam Dhahabi (may Allah have mercy upon him) wrote:
“Ibn Mandah (may Allah have mercy upon him) said: “Hakeem was born inside the Ka’bah and lived for 120 years. He died in the year 54 Hijri”
Zubair reported from Mus’ab ibn Uthman (may Allah have mercy upon him) who said: “The mother of Hakeem entered the Ka’bah with the women. Then she fell into labor. A mat made of animal skin was brought when the [time for the] birth came near to her and she gave birth to him in the Ka’bah”
[Siyar ‘Alaam an-Nubala (3/46)]
