Multazam "committed" or "dedicated or "obliged" Multazam is a part of the eastern wall of the Kaaba, located between the door of the Kaaba and the Black Stone (Hajar al-Aswad). According to narrations, this place is where sins are confessed, and prayers are answered. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) placed his face and hands on this part of the wall and prayed.

According to narrations, when Prophet Adam (AS) circumambulated the Kaaba, he confessed his sins at the Multazam, and from then on, this place became a site for the acceptance of prayers by God.

"A place for confessing sins" A part of the eastern wall of the Kaaba is called Multazam. This section is located between the Black Stone (Hajar al-Aswad) and the door of the Kaaba.(1) Fāsī, " Al-ʿAqd al-Thamīn fī Tārīkh al-Balad al-Amīn", vol. 1, p. 242. , Ṣafīrūshānī, "Makkah dar Bistar Tārīkh", p. 99.

It is narrated from the Prophet (PBUH) through Ibn Abbas that the Multazam is a place where prayers are answered.(2) Fāsī ,Shifāʾ al-gharām bi akhbār al-balad al-ḥarām, vol. 1, p. 196. It is narrated that when Prophet Adam (AS) was circumambulating the Kaaba, he confessed his sins at this place, and since then, this place has been designated by God as a site for the acceptance of prayers.(3) Ḥurr al-ʿĀmilī,Wasāʾil al-Shīʿa, vol. 13, p. 346. There are narrations that the Prophet (PBUH) would place his face and chest against the wall of the Kaaba at this place.(4) Fākihī, Akhbār Makka fī qadīm al-dahr wa ḥaīthih, vol. 1, p. 162. Imam Ali also advised to confess your sins at the Multazam.(5) Ḥurr al-ʿĀmilī,Wasāʾil al-Shīʿa, vol. 13, p. 346.

"Etymology"

Regarding the name "Multazam," some have said that it is named so because pilgrims cling to this part when they pray and become attached to it.(6) Khalīlī, "Mawṣūʿat al-ʿAtabāt al-Muqaddasa", vol. 2, p. 236. Some have also said that during the Age of Ignorance (Jahiliyyah), people would come to this part of the wall of the Kaaba to swear oaths and make pledges, and they were committed and bound to the oaths they took.(7) ʿAlī, Jawād, "Al-Mufṣal fī Tārīkh al-ʿArab Qabl al-Islām", vol. 6, p. 437-438.

Multazam and Mustajar There is another place on the wall of the Kaaba known as **Mustajar**, where it is also recommended to pray. Mustajar is located behind the Kaaba on the western side and includes the area from the Yemeni Corner to the blocked door of the Kaaba.

Since sometimes in sources and narrations, Mustajar and Multazam are considered names of the same place,(8) ) Fāsī ,Shifāʾ al-gharām bi akhbār al-balad al-ḥarām, vol. 1, p. 196. It is said that Multazam is also situated on the wall behind the Kaaba.(9)* Some believe that Multazam is also the same as Mustajar and is located at the Yemeni Corner.10) Azraqī,Akhbār Makka wa mā jāʾa fīhā min al-āthār, vol. 1, p. 44.
