Al-Masjid al-Haram: Difference between revisions

According to [[shi'a|Shiite]]s, al-Multazam is part of the wall behind the Ka'ba, where [[al-Mustajar]] and al-Rukn al-Yamani are located. On one side of al-Multazam, the [[Black Stone]] is located and on the other side of it the door of the [[Ka'ba]]. This is called "multazam" (the place held or adhered by people) because [[hajj]] pilgrims stand there and hold to the wall and recite their prayers and orisons. According to some [[hadith]]s, [[the Prophet (s)]] put his face and hands on this part of the wall. He is reported as having said that [[God]] listens to people's prayers in this place. One supererogatory ([[mustahab]]) action in this place is to confess one's sins to God and ask for His forgiveness.
