According to some hadiths, a segment of Hijr Isma'il was a part of the Ka'ba; therefore, according to Shia jurists and most Sunni jurists, during tawaf, one should go round Hijr Isma'il. | |||
==Introduction== | ==Introduction== | ||
Hijr Isma'il is the semicircular area on the northwest side of [[Ka'ba]], in front of the gold gutter.<ref>Kurdi, ''Al-Tarikh al-qawim'', vol. 2, p. 569.</ref> | |||

Hijr Isma'il is marked by a wall with a height of 1.32 meters and a width of 1.52 meters. The distance of this wall from the [[gold gutter]] is nearly 6.80 meters and it covers an area of 8.44 square meters between the [[al-Rukn al-'Iraqi]] and the al-Rukn al-Shami.<ref>Raf'at Pasha. ''Mirʾat al-ḥaramayn'', vol. 1, p. 266; Kurdi, ''Al-Tarikh al-qawim'', vol. 2, p. 576.</ref> | |||
==History== | ==History== | ||
Based on religious traditions, Hijr Isma'il dates back to the time of the construction of the [[Ka'ba]] by [[Ibrahim(a)]]. There are different and sometimes conflicting reports about the reason for the Hijr's construction. Some reports show that [[Isma'il(s)]] took shelter from the scorching sun in this part.<ref>Qaʾidan, ''Tarikh wa athar-i Islami Makka wa Madina'', p. 117.</ref> and probably Hijr is introduced as his house.<ref>Kulayni, ''Al-Kafi'', vol. 4, p. 210.</ref> Other narrations have attributed the construction of the first Hijr to Prophet Abraham(s), to protect the Isma'il's sheep.<ref>Azraqi, ''Akhbar Makka'', Vol. 1, pp. 64-65; Hurr al-'Āmili, ''Wasaʾil al-Shi'a'', vol. 13, p. 355.</ref> | |||
===Burial Place of Prophets === | |||
Islamic narrations have reported that some prophets are buried in Hijr Isma'il without mentioning their names. According to these reports, Isma'il, his mother [[Hajar]], and some of his daughters were buried there.<ref>Kulayni, ''Al-Kafi'', vol. 4, p. 210; Ibn Hisham,''Al-Sira al-nabawiyya'', vol. 1, p. 5.</ref> | |||

Marwan]] (R: 65-86 AH/ 65/684-5 - 86/705 CE) in 74 AH/ 693-4 CE.
