"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 Kaaba is installed on the northern side, on the roof of the Ka'ba, and directs rainwater into the Hijr Ismail.(1)

• • Word**

"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) Zubaydī, "Tāj al-ʿurūs min Jawāhir al-Qāmūs", vol. 1, p. 302. This gutter is also known by the names "Mizab al-Dhahab" (Golden Gutter).(3) Ghaffārī, "Rāhnemā-ye Haramayn Sharīfayn", vol. 1, p. 178. and "Mizab al-Rahma" (Gutter of Mercy).(4) Batnūnī, "Al-Riḥlah al-Ḥijāziyyah", p. 105. , Khalīlī, "Mawsūʿat al-ʿAtābāt al-Muqaddasah", vol. 2, p. 236. is well known. History

The Gutter of the Kaaba has been replaced multiple times throughout history. The Kaaba built by Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) (peace be upon him) did not have a roof.(5) ʿĀmilī, " Wasāʾil al-Shīʿah", vol. 13, p. 211 /214. Therefore, it did not require a gutter. Later, Qusayy ibn Kilab built a wooden roof for the Kaaba but did not include a gutter for the roof. The Quraysh, who constructed the first sturdy roof for the Kaaba, also created a place for the rainwater to flow, directing the water into the Hijr Ismail.(6) ) Azraqī, Muḥammad b. ʿAbd Allāh al-. Akhbār Makka wa mā jāʾa fīhā min al-āthār,vol. 1, p. 164. "According to Mohammad Taher Kordi in the book 'Tareekh al-Qawim'(7) Kurdī, Al-Tārīkh al-qawīm li Makka wa bayt Allāh al-karīm, vol. 4, p. 167- 169.
