"Gutter of the Ka'ba" "Gutter of the Ka'ba" (in Arabic: ميزاب الكعبة) is a channel on the northern wall of the Ka'ba for draining rainwater from its roof. The gutter is located on the side of Hijr Ismail. The Quraysh were the first to build this gutter during the construction of the Ka'ba. This gutter has been reconstructed during various reigns.

Furthermore, in the sayings of the infallibles, the Gutter of the Ka'ba is introduced as a blessed place and a site of worship for the prophets and the Ahl al-Bayt. In Persian literature, poets such as Lari and Khaqani have composed poems about this gutter.

Location

The location of the Gutter of the Ka'ba is on its eastern side, where the rainwater from the roof of the Ka'ba flows into the Hijr Ismail. The Gutter of the Ka'ba is installed on the northern side, on the roof of the Ka'ba, and directs rainwater into the Hijr Ismail.[1]

Terminology

"Mizab" in Arabic means "gutter," and some believe that "mizab" has a Persian origin from the word "marzab," meaning a water channel or drainage.[2] This gutter is also known by the names "Mizab al-Dhahab" (Golden Gutter).[3] and "Mizab al-Rahma" (Gutter of Mercy).[4]

History

The Gutter of the Ka'ba has been replaced multiple times throughout history. The Ka'ba built by Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) (peace be upon him) did not have a roof.[5] Therefore, it did not require a gutter. Later, Qusayy b. Kilab built a wooden roof for the Ka'ba but did not include a gutter for the roof. The Quraysh, who constructed the first sturdy roof for the Ka'ba, also created a place for the rainwater to flow, directing the water into the Hijr Ismail.[6] "According to Mohammad Taher Kordi in the book 'Tareekh al-Qawim'[7] The history of the reconstruction of the Gutter of the Ka'ba is as follows: Here is the history of the reconstruction of the Gutter of the Ka'ba:

  • In the year 64 AH/683-4, Ibn Zubayr reconstructed the Ka'ba and installed a gutter for it.

Additional details include:

  • Hajjaj b. Yusuf made a gutter from brass for the roof of the Ka'ba.
  • Walid b. Abd al-Malik plated a page with gold on this gutter.
  • Reconstruction of the mizab in 539 AH/1144-5 by Ramshat, who was the builder of Ramshat Ribat in Mecca.
  • Replacement of the gutter ordered by Caliph al-Muqtadir in 541 AH/1146-7.
  • According to reports, Rameshah, one of the dignitaries of Mecca, ruled Mecca from 701/1301-2 to 746 AH/1345-6 and also constructed a gutter for the Ka'ba.
  • Nasser al-Din Allah also constructed a gutter for the Ka'ba in 781 AH/1379-80, said to be made of wood and decorated with silver.
  • In 959 AH/1552, Sultan Sulaiman Qanooni installed a silver gutter on the Ka'ba.
  • In 962 AH/1554-5, it was replaced with a gold gutter.
  • In 1021 AH/1612-3, Sultan Ahmed decorated it with gold and turquoise.
  • In 1273 AH/1856-7, Sultan Abdul Majid constructed a gutter made of pure gold. This gutter, which used approximately 50 pounds of gold, remained on the Ka'ba until the time of Mohammad Taher Kordi's lifetime.[8]
