'''Sarīr pillar''' is one of the [[pillars of Masjid al-Nabi]], which was the place of Prophet's [[Iʿtikāf]] . This pillar was used as the pillars of the Prophet's shrine during the reconstruction of [[Masjid al-Nabi]] by [[Baybars Mamluki]], and since then it has been removed from the reach of pilgrims to seek blessings. According to traditions, it is recommended to seek blessing this pillar.
==Location==
The Sarir pillar is located in Masjid al-Nabi, in the area of [[Rawdat al-Nabi]], on the east side of the [[pillar of repentance]]<ref>Samhūdī, ''Wafāʾ al-wafā'', vol. 2, p. 184; Shurrāb, ''Al-Ma ʿālim al-athīra'', p. 40.</ref> and the first pillar from the Qibla direction and connected to the western wall of the Prophet's shrine.<ref>Qāʾidān, ''Tārīkh wa āthār-i Islāmī-i Makka wa Madīna'', p. 193. </ref>
==Reason for naming==
The Sarir pillar is called by this name because during the days of I'tikaf, the Prophet used to place his bed which was made of palm leaves and wood or mat,<ref>Ibn Zabāla, ''Akhbār al-madīna'', p. 103; Maṭarī, ''Al-Taʿrīf  bimā ʾanasat'', p. 91; Najjār, ''Al-Durra al-thamīna'', p. 298.</ref> and would perform I'tikaf and calm down on it when the time of resting.<ref>Sayyid al-Wakīl, ''Al-masjid al-nabawīī ʿabar  tārīkh'',  p. 53; Yamānī, ''Mawsūʿa makka al-mukarrama wa al-madina al-munawwara'', vol. 2, p. 430.</ref>
==Is Sarir pillar the same as Al-Tawba pillar?!==
[[The local historians of Madina]], such as Ibn Zabala, Ibn Najjar and Matari, did not introduce the Sarir pillar. They have only mentioned that during the I'tikaf days of the month of Ramadan, the bed of the prophet was placed between the [[pillar of repentance]] and the lamp near the [[prophet's grave]]<ref>Ibn Zabāla, ''Akhbār al-madīna'', p. 103</ref> or near the pillar of repentance<ref>Najjār, ''Al-Durra al-thamīna'', p. 298.</ref> or behind it from the east.<ref>Maṭarī, ''Al-Taʿrīf  bimā ʾanasat'', p. 91.</ref> Therefore, Some have considered the pillar of Sarir as the pillar of repentance.<ref>Ansārī, ''ʿImārah wa tawsiah al-masjid al-nabawīī'', p. 71.</ref>


But it is true that the bed of the prophet was sometimes next to the pillar of repentance and sometimes next to the pillar of sarir.<ref>Ansārī, ''ʿImārah wa tawsiah al-masjid al-nabawīī'', p. 72; Yamānī, ''Mawsūʿa makka al-mukarrama wa al-madina al-munawwara'', vol. 2, p. 430.</ref> Ayub Sabri Pasha and Ahmad bin Abdul Hamid believe that before [[the development of Masjid al-Nabi]], which was carried out after the [[Battle of Khaybar]], the Prophet's I'tikaf was next to The [[pillar of repentance]] and then it was moved to the side of the pillar of Sarir.<ref>Ṣabrī Pāshā, ''Mawsūʿa mirʾāt al-ḥaramayn'', vol. 3, p. 235-236; ʿAbd al- Ḥamīd, ''ʿUmda al-akhbār'', p. 99-100.</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.
==Status==
After half of the Sarir pillar was placed inside the [[prophet's shrine]]<ref>Samhūdī, ''Wafāʾ al-wafā'', vol. 2, p. 184.</ref> during the reconstruction of Masjid al-Nabi during the reign of [[Malik Zahir Baibaras]] (R: 825-842 AH/ 1422- 1438-9) of the Mamluks of Egypt,<ref>Samhūdī, ''Wafāʾ al-wafā'', vol. 1, p. 268.</ref>  it is not possible for pilgrims to bless it.
==Virtu==
On the sarir pillar, the phrase " «هذه اسطوانة السریر» This is the pillar of sarir" is written<ref>Ṣabrī Pāshā, ''Mawsūʿa mirʾāt al-ḥaramayn'', vol. 3, p. 235-236</ref> and based on some hadiths, it is recommended to bless it.<ref>Amīnī, ''Al-Ghadīr'', vol. 5, p. 124.</ref>

== Notes ==
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.<ref>Ṣafāʾī Farūshānī, " Makkah dar Bistar-i Tārīkh", p. 99_101.</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>
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==
 
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>
 
==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]
