'''Sulaymānī Miḥrāb'''(Arabic: محراب سلیمانی)is one of Miḥrābs of [[Masjid Al-Nabī]]. This Miḥrāb is on the right side of the [[Miḥrāb of the Prophet(a)]] and on the left side of the [[pulpit of the Prophet(a)]]. This Miḥrāb was built in the mosque from the 9th century/15th century AD,  and was the place of prayer for the followers of Ḥanafī denomination. In 938/1531-2, by order of [[Sultan Sulaymān qānūnī]], this Miḥrāb was rebuilt and since then it has been known as Sulaymānī Miḥrāb.


==The place of the Miḥrāb==
'''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.
Sulaymānī Miḥrāb, which is also called Ḥanafī Miḥrāb, is one of the Miḥrābs of [[Masjid Al-Nabī]] in [[medina]]. This Miḥrāb is located within the scope of the mosque of the time of the [[Prophet(a)]], outside the [[Rawḍa]], at the southern area of the mosque (before the southern area of ʿUmar and ʿUthmān’s development), in front and on the right side of the [[Miḥrāb of the Prophet(a)]] and on the left side of the pulpit of the Prophet(a), in the place of the third column west of this pulpit and the seventh column of [[Bāb al-Salām]].<ref>Ṣabrī Pāshā, ''Mawsūʿa Mirʾāt al-ḥaramayn'', vol. 4, p. 609;  Rāfiʿī sūdānī, ''Ittiḥāf  al-Muʾminīn'',  p. 82; Najafī, ''Madīna shināsī'', vol. 1, p. 168.</ref>


==constructing the Miḥrāb==
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.
This Miḥrāb was built in 861AH/ 1456-7AD during the era of [[Malik al-Ashraf Abū Nasr ʾīnāl]], one of the kings of [[Egypt]] (R:857-865 AH/1453-4; 1460-1AD) by the supervisor of the affairs of [[Masjid al-Ḥarām]], Ṭūghān Sheikh Aḥmadī Ḥanafī (881 AH/1476-7).<ref>Sakhāwī, ''Al-Tuḥfat al-laṭīfa'', vol. 1, p. 474; Rafʿat Pāshā, ''Mirʾāt al-ḥaramayn'',  vol. 1,  p. 469; ''Mʿālim dār al-hijra'',  p. 250,251.</ref> Until the age of Sheikh Ṭūghān, Muslims in [[Masjid Al-Nabī]] used to do daily prayer to an Imam who stood in the [[Prophet's Miḥrāb]] during the off-season of [[Hajj]] and in the [[ʿUthmān Miḥrāb]] during the Hajj season. Ṭūghān Sheikh built a new Miḥrāb in the mosque so that a separate congregational prayer can be held under the following of a Ḥanafī Imam. After this date, the beginning of prayer was held under the following of Imam Shafiʿī, who stood in the [[Prophet’s Miḥrāb]], and then Imam Ḥanafī prayed in the new Miḥrāb(which became known as the Ḥanafī Miḥrāb and later the Sulaymānī Miḥrāb). Imam Ḥanafī and Imam Shafiʿī performed the Tarāwīḥ prayer together in the nights of [[Ramaḍān]].<ref>Samhudī,''Wafāʾ al-wafā'', vol. 2, p. 210; Rafʿat Pāshā, ''Mirʾāt al-ḥaramayn'', vol. 1, p. 469-470.</ref>This issue spread from [[Medina]] to [[Mecca]] as well.<ref>Samhudī, ''Wafāʾ al-wafā'', Vol. 2, p. 210.</ref>
==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]].


==Becoming famous as Sulaymānī Miḥrāb==
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 Ḥanafī Miḥrāb was rebuilt in 938AH/ 1531-2 AD by the order of [[Sultan Sulaymān qānūnī]], preserving the appearance of the [[Prophet’s Miḥrāb]], and was decorated with black and white marble, and from then on, it became known as the Sulaymānī Miḥrāb<ref>Rafʿat Pāshā, ''Mirʾāt al-ḥaramayn'', vol. 1, p. 470;  Najafī, ''Madīna shināsī'', Vol. 1, p. 168,169</ref> Currently, congregational prayers are not held in this miḥrāb and the imam of [[Masjid Al-Nabī]] prays in the [[ʿUthmān Miḥrāb]].
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>
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>
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>
==Al_Mustajār and the Crack of the Ka'ba==


===Miḥrāb inscriptions===
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.<ref>Ṭabāṭabāʾī Tabrīzī, "Hidāyat al-Ḥujjāj: Safar-Nāmah-i Makkah", p. 178; Jaʿfariyān,''Āthār-i islāmi-yi Makka wa Madīna'', p. 97.</ref>
Behind the building of the miḥrāb, there is an inscription in gold script on a shiny red oil background, which refers to the construction of the miḥrāb by the order of Sultan Sulaymān in the year 938AH/1531-2AD.<ref>Rafʿat Pāshā, ''Mirʾāt al-ḥaramayn'', vol. 1, p. 470; Najafī, ''Madīna shināsī'', Vol. 1, p. 168,169.</ref>


Inside and around the altar is also decorated with inscriptions of verses of the [[Quran]]. These verses are: Verse 162 of Al-Baqara; 95 Al-Imran and verse 112 of Al-Tawba.<ref>Ṣabrī Pāshā, ''Mawsūʿa mirʾāt al-ḥaramayn'', vol. 4, p. 610; Rafʿat Pāshā, ''Mirʾāt al-ḥaramayn'', vol. 1, p. 470; Najafī, ''Madīna shināsī'', vol. 1, p. 169.</ref>
==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.<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]
