'''The pillars of the Ka'ba''' refer to the pillars inside the [[Ka'ba]] that were first installed by the Quraysh in the year 35 of [[the Year of the Elephant]]/605 CE; During the reconstruction of the Ka'ba in the year 64 AH/683-4, [[Abdullah b. Zubair]] reduced their number to three, and their number and placement have remained the same to this day.


The color of the pillars is dark brown, and there is a rod between the pillars from which some of the [[Ka'ba's hangings]] are suspended.
'''Al_Mustajār''' (Arabic: المستجار) is a part of the western wall of the Ka'ba, approximately 2 meters in length, located between [[the Rukn al-Yamani]] and the second door of the [[Ka'ba]], which was sealed during the time of [[Hajjaj b. Yusuf al-Thaqafi]]. This section is at the back of the Ka'ba, directly opposite the current door of the Ka'ba.
==History==
The first pillars of the Ka'ba were erected by the Quraysh in the year 35 Aam al-Fil (the Year of the Elephant)/ 605 CE. They included six pillars in two rows of three, extending from north to south (the width of the Ka'ba).<ref>Ṣabrī Pāshā, ''Mawsūʿa mirʾāt al-ḥaramayn wa Jazīrat al-ʿArab '', vol. 2, p. 819; Ṣaffarī-Furūshānī, '' Makkah fī Bistar al-Tārīkh'', p. 106.</ref>
Before that, since the time of [[Abraham (a)|Prophet Ibrahim(a)]] , the [[Ka'ba]] was without a roof and did not need pillars.<ref>Ṣabrī Pāshā,  ''Mawsūʿa mirʾāt al-ḥaramayn wa Jazīrat al-ʿArab '', vol. 1, p. 332. , Azraqī, ''Akhbār Makka'', vol. 1, p. 66.</ref>
During the war between the armies of [[Yazid]] and [[Ibn al-Zubayr]], the Ka'ba was set on fire and destroyed. Abdullah b. al-Zubayr rebuilt the Ka'ba in the year 64 AH/683-4. He placed three wooden pillars, the number and positions of which have remained the same to this day.<ref>Batanūnī, ''Al-Riḥla al-Ḥijāziyya'', p. 106; Ṣabrī Pāshā,  ''Mawsūʿa mirʾāt al-ḥaramayn wa Jazīrat al-ʿArab, vol. 1, p. 264.</ref>
==The Place of the Prophet’s (s) Prayer==


In some historical narrations, it is mentioned that after [[the conquest of Mecca]], [[Prophet Muhammad (s)|the Prophet (s)]] entered the Ka'ba and prayed. The location of his prayer was such that two pillars were on his right, one pillar on his left, and three pillar behind him.<ref>Ṣabrī Pāshā, ''Mawsūʿa mirʾāt al-ḥaramayn wa Jazīrat al-ʿArab '', vol. 2, p. 819.</ref>  
The meaning of the word Mustajār is 'refuge' or 'sanctuary.' This place is known for the acceptance of repentance and is recommended for supplication and prayer.
Today, upon entering the Ka'ba, directly opposite [[the door of the ka'ba|the door ]], there is a mihrab that is identified as the place where the Prophet (s) prayed.<ref>Batanūnī, ''Al-Riḥla al-Ḥijāziyya'', p. 106.</ref>
==Al- Mustajar and Al-Multazam==
==Size and Features==
Two places on the wall of the Ka'ba are introduced as places for the acceptance of supplications and repentance, and there are narrations about them:Al_Mustajar and [[Al_Multazam]].
The three pillars built inside the Ka'ba during the reconstruction by Abdullah b. al-Zubayr (64 AH/683-4) have remained in the same number and positions. However, the pillars were replaced in later renovations of the Ka'ba's interior. Today, the pillars are intricately carved and decorated.<ref> Batanūnī, ''Al-Riḥla al-Ḥijāziyya'', p. 106; Ṣabrī Pāshā,  ''Mawsūʿa mirʾāt al-ḥaramayn wa Jazīrat al-ʿArab '', vol. 1, p. 264.</ref>
 
These three pillars are arranged in a single row from north to south (the width of the Ka'ba), with a distance of four steps between each one. The first pillar is three steps away from the Yemeni-Eastern wall, and the third pillar is opposite the Iraqi-Shami wall.<ref>Ibn Jubayr,''Riḥla Ibn Jubayr'', p. 54; Ibn Baṭūṭa, ''Al-Raḥla Ibn Baṭūṭa''. vol. 1, p. 372.</ref>
It is usually said that Mustajār is at the back of the [[Ka'ba]] on the western side, encompassing the distance from the [[the Rukn al-Yamani]] to the sealed door of the Kaaba, and Multazam is on the eastern side, encompassing the distance from [[the Hajar al-Aswad]] to the current door of the Ka'ba.<ref>Ṣafāʾī Farūshānī, " Makkah dar Bistar-i Tārīkh", p. 99_101.</ref>  
The color of the pillars is dark brown. Each pillar has a diameter of 44 centimeters and a circumference of approximately 150 centimeters. These pillars are made of wood, square-shaped, and intricately carved.<ref> Kurdī, ''Makkah wa Madīna: Taṣwīrī min Taqaddum wa Nawsāzī'' ,p. 121.</ref>
However, the narrations related to Multazam and Mustajar have been mixed together, and sometimes Mustajar and Multazam are considered two names for the same place. It is sometimes said that Shia Muslims consider [[al-Multazam]] and al-Mustajar to be the same, whereas Sunni Muslims consider them to be different, with Multazam being the area between [[the Hajar al-Aswad]] and the door of the Ka'ba.<ref>Qāʾidān, " Tārīkh wa āthār-i Islāmī-yi Makka wa Madīna", p. 71.</ref>  
Additionally, there is a rod among the three pillars from which some of the [[Ka'ba’s gifts]] are hung. Above each pillar, there is a beam whose ends are embedded in the northern and southern walls of the Ka'ba.<ref>Kurdī, ''Makkah wa Madīna: Taṣwīrī min Taqaddum wa Nawsāzī'' ,p. 121.</ref>
Some Shia scholars, based on the collections of narrations from [[the Ahl al-Bayt]] regarding the acts performed at Multazam and Mustajār, have concluded that these two are names for the same place, which is Mustajār.<ref>majlisī, ''Mirāʾat al-ʿUqūl'', vol. 9, p. 106.</ref>
The three pillars extend only up to the lower ceiling and do not reach the upper ceiling. In the space between the lower and upper ceilings, narrower and additional wooden columns are placed to support the upper ceiling. Some of these pillars are supported indirectly by the three main pillars. At the base of each of the three pillars, which bear most of the roof's weight, there is a ring to reinforce and strengthen them.<ref>Kurdī, ''Makkah wa Madīna: Taṣwīrī min Taqaddum wa Nawsāzī'' ,p. 121.</ref>
In Sunni sources, there are also numerous narrations and reports that consider Multazam to be at the back of the Ka'ba (the same place as Mustajar).<ref>Naʿmatī, "Pazhuheshī dar bāray Multazam" p. 84.</ref>

Despite all this, in most geographical sources on Mecca, Multazam and Mustajar are distinguished from each other.<ref>Fāsī al-Makkī, ''Shifāʾ al-gharām bi akhbār al-balad al-ḥarām'',vol. 1, p. 196; Mālikī, " Taḥṣīl al-Marām fī Aḵbār al-Bayt al-Ḥarām", vol. 1, p. 200_203; Sanjārī, "Manāʾih al-Karam", vol. 1, p. 307; Ibn Zahīra,''Al-Jāmiʿ al-laṭīf fī faḍl-i Makka wa ahluhā wa bināʾ al-Bayt al-Sharīf'', p. 47. </ref>

Then, they should confess their sins and seek forgiveness, and afterwards say:
*أللَّهُمَّ مِنْ قِبَلِكَ الرَّوْحُ وَالْفَرَجُ وَالْعافِيَةُ. أللَّهُمَّ إنَّ عَمَلِي ضَعيْفٌ فَضاعِفْهُ لِي وَاغْفِرْ لي مَا اطَّلَعْتَ عَلَيْهِ مِنِّي وَخَفِيَ عَلى‏ خَلْقِكَ أسْتَجِيرُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ النَّار."O Allah, from You comes the spirit, relief, and well-being. O Allah, my deeds are weak, so multiply them for me and forgive me for what You have seen of me that is hidden from Your creation. I seek refuge with Allah from the Fire.
 
Then, after that, the person should make any supplications they wish, touch the Yemeni Corner (Rukn Yamani), come to [[the Hajar al-Aswad]], complete their Tawaf, and say:
*أللَّهُمَّ قَنِّعْنِي بِما رَزَقْتَني وَبارِكْ لِي فِيما آتَيْتَني‏ "O Allah, make me content with what You have provided me and bless me in what You have granted me.<ref>Khomeinī, "Manāsk Ḥajj Motābaq ba Fatwā-ye Imām Khomeinī ba Ḥawāshī Marājiʿ Taqlīd wa Istiftāʾāt Jadīd", p. 436.</ref>

Al_Mustajār (Arabic: المستجار) is a part of the western wall of the Ka'ba, approximately 2 meters in length, located between the Rukn al-Yamani and the second door of the Ka'ba, which was sealed during the time of Hajjaj b. Yusuf al-Thaqafi. This section is at the back of the Ka'ba, directly opposite the current door of the Ka'ba.

The meaning of the word Mustajār is 'refuge' or 'sanctuary.' This place is known for the acceptance of repentance and is recommended for supplication and prayer.

Al- Mustajar and Al-Multazam

Two places on the wall of the Ka'ba are introduced as places for the acceptance of supplications and repentance, and there are narrations about them:Al_Mustajar and Al_Multazam.

It is usually said that Mustajār is at the back of the Ka'ba on the western side, encompassing the distance from the the Rukn al-Yamani to the sealed door of the Kaaba, and Multazam is on the eastern side, encompassing the distance from the Hajar al-Aswad to the current door of the Ka'ba.[1] However, the narrations related to Multazam and Mustajar have been mixed together, and sometimes Mustajar and Multazam are considered two names for the same place. It is sometimes said that Shia Muslims consider al-Multazam and al-Mustajar to be the same, whereas Sunni Muslims consider them to be different, with Multazam being the area between the Hajar al-Aswad and the door of the Ka'ba.[2] Some Shia scholars, based on the collections of narrations from the Ahl al-Bayt regarding the acts performed at Multazam and Mustajār, have concluded that these two are names for the same place, which is Mustajār.[3] In Sunni sources, there are also numerous narrations and reports that consider Multazam to be at the back of the Ka'ba (the same place as Mustajar).[4] Despite all this, in most geographical sources on Mecca, Multazam and Mustajar are distinguished from each other.[5]

Al_Mustajār and the Crack of the Ka'ba

Some consider Al_Mustajār to be the part of the wall of the Ka'ba that was split open to allow Fatimah bint Asad, the mother of Imam Ali (peace be upon him), to enter the Kaaba for the birth of her son.[6]

The Supplication of Mustajār

In the rituals of Tawaf, it is mentioned that: It is recommended for the pilgrim, in the last round of their Tawaf, to place their face and hands on the wall, press their stomach and front against the wall of the Ka'ba, and say:

  • أللَّهُمَّ الْبَيْتُ بَيْتُكَ وَالْعَبْدُ عَبْدُكَ وَهذا مَكانُ الْعائِذِ بِكَ مِنَ النَّار. "O Allah, this house is Your house, and this servant is Your servant, and this is the place of one who seeks refuge with You from the Fire."

Then, they should confess their sins and seek forgiveness, and afterwards say:

  • أللَّهُمَّ مِنْ قِبَلِكَ الرَّوْحُ وَالْفَرَجُ وَالْعافِيَةُ. أللَّهُمَّ إنَّ عَمَلِي ضَعيْفٌ فَضاعِفْهُ لِي وَاغْفِرْ لي مَا اطَّلَعْتَ عَلَيْهِ مِنِّي وَخَفِيَ عَلى‏ خَلْقِكَ أسْتَجِيرُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ النَّار."O Allah, from You comes the spirit, relief, and well-being. O Allah, my deeds are weak, so multiply them for me and forgive me for what You have seen of me that is hidden from Your creation. I seek refuge with Allah from the Fire.

Then, after that, the person should make any supplications they wish, touch the Yemeni Corner (Rukn Yamani), come to the Hajar al-Aswad, complete their Tawaf, and say:

  • أللَّهُمَّ قَنِّعْنِي بِما رَزَقْتَني وَبارِكْ لِي فِيما آتَيْتَني‏ "O Allah, make me content with what You have provided me and bless me in what You have granted me.[7]
