Al-Mustajar (Arabic: المستجار) is a part of the western wall of the Ka'ba, approximately 2 meters in length, located between the al-Rukn al-Yamani and the second door of the Ka'ba, which was sealed during the time of al-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 al-mustajar 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 al-Mustajar is at the back of the Ka'ba on the western side, encompassing the distance from the al-Rukn al-Yamani to the sealed door of the Kaaba, and al-Multazam is on the eastern side, encompassing the distance from the al-Hajar al-Aswad to the current door of the Ka'ba.[1] However, the narrations related to al-Multazam and al-Mustajar have been mixed together, and sometimes al-Mustajar and al-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 al-Multazam being the area between the al-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 al-Multazam and al-Mustajar, have concluded that these two are names for the same place, which is al-Mustajar.[3] In Sunni sources, there are also numerous narrations and reports that consider al-Multazam to be at the back of the Ka'ba (the same place as al-Mustajar).[4] Despite all this, in most geographical sources on Mecca, al-Multazam and al-Mustajar are distinguished from each other.[5]

Al-Mustajar and the Crack of the Ka'ba

Further information: Mawlid 'Ali

Some consider al-Mustajar to be the part of the wall of the Ka'ba that was split open to allow Fatima bt. Asad, the mother of Imam Ali (a), to enter the Ka'ba for the birth of her son.[6]

Supplication of al-Mustajar

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 al-Rukn al-Yamani, come to the al-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]
