'''Al-Multazam''' (Arabic: الملتزم )  is a part of the eastern wall of the Ka'ba, located between [[the door of the Ka'ba]] and [[the Hajar al-Aswad]]. According to narrations, this place is where sins are confessed, and prayers are fulfilled. [[Prophet Muhammad (s)|The Prophet(s)]] placed his face and hands on this part of the wall and prayed.
" mostajār or "refuge" or "sanctuary"
"Mustajār is a part of the western wall of the Kaaba, approximately 2 meters in length, located between the Yemeni Corner (Rukn Yamani) and the second door of the Kaaba, which was sealed during the time of Hajjaj ibn Yusuf al-Thaqafi. This section is at the back of the Kaaba, directly opposite the current door of the Kaaba.


According to narrations, when [[Adam (Prophet)|Prophet Adam (s)]] [[tawaf|circumambulated]] the Ka'ba, he confessed his sins at the Multazam, and from then on, this place became a site for the acceptance of prayers by God.
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.
"Mustajār and Multazam"
Two places on the wall of the Kaaba are introduced as places for the acceptance of supplications and repentance, and there are narrations about them: Mustajār and Multazam.


==A place for confessing sins==
It is usually said that Mustajār is at the back of the Kaaba on the western side, encompassing the distance from the Yemeni Corner (Rukn Yamani) to the sealed door of the Kaaba, and Multazam is on the eastern side, encompassing the distance from the Black Stone (Hajar al-Aswad) to the current door of the Kaaba.(1) Ṣafāʾī Farūshānī, " Makkah dar Bistar-i Tārīkh", p. 99/101.
A part of the eastern wall of the Ka'ba is called Multazam. This section is located between [[the Hajar al-Aswad]] and [[the door of the Ka'ba]].<ref>Fāsī, " Al-ʿAqd al-Thamīn fī Tārīkh al-Balad al-Amīn", vol. 1, p. 242. , Ṣafīrūshānī, "Makkah dar Bistar Tārīkh", p. 99.
However, the narrations related to Multazam and Mustajār have been mixed together, and sometimes Mustajār and Multazam are considered two names for the same place. It is sometimes said that Shia Muslims consider Multazam and Mustajār to be the same, whereas Sunni Muslims consider them to be different, with Multazam being the area between the Black Stone (Hajar al-Aswad) and the door of the Kaaba.(2) Qāʾidān, " Tārīkh wa āthār-i Islāmī-yi Makka wa Madīna", p. 71.

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)* " Mirāʾat al-ʿUqū"l, vol. 9, p. 106.
It is narrated from [[Prophet Muhammad (s)|The Prophet(s)]] through Ibn Abbas that the Multazam is a place where prayers are fulfilled.<ref>Fāsī ,''Shifāʾ al-gharām bi akhbār al-balad al-ḥarām'', vol. 1, p. 196.</ref>
In Sunni sources, there are also numerous narrations and reports that consider Multazam to be at the back of the Kaaba (the same place as Mustajār)(4) Naʿmatī, "Pazhuheshī dar bāray Multazam" p. 84.
It is narrated that when [[Adam (Prophet)|Prophet Adam (s)]] was [[tawaf|circumambulated]] the Ka'ba, he confessed his sins at this place, and since then, this place has been designated by God as a site for the fulfillment of prayers.<ref>Ḥurr al-ʿĀmilī,''Wasāʾil al-Shīʿa'', vol. 13, p. 346.</ref>
Despite all this, in most geographical sources on Mecca, Multazam and Mustajār are distinguished from each other.(5) Fāsī al-Makkī, ''Shifāʾ al-gharām bi akhbār al-balad al-ḥarām'',vol. 1, p. 196.
There are narrations that the Prophet (s) would place his face and chest against the wall of the Ka'ba at this place.<ref> Fākihī, ''Akhbār Makka fī qadīm al-dahr wa ḥaīthih'', vol. 1, p. 162.</ref>
(6) Mālikī, " Taḥṣīl al-Marām fī Aḵbār al-Bayt al-Ḥarām", vol. 1, p. 200/203.
[[Imam Ali]] also advised to confess your sins at the Multazam.<ref>Ḥurr al-ʿĀmilī,''Wasāʾil al-Shīʿa'', vol. 13, p. 346.</ref>
(7) Sanjārī, "Manāʾih al-Karam", vol. 1, p. 307.
(8) Ibn Zahīra,''Al-Jāmiʿ al-laṭīf fī faḍl-i Makka wa ahluhā wa bināʾ al-Bayt al-Sharīf'', p. 47.


==Etymology==
"Mustajār and the Crack of the Kaaba"


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.<ref>Khalīlī, "Mawṣūʿat al-ʿAtabāt al-Muqaddasa", vol. 2, p. 236.</ref>
Some consider Mustajār to be the part of the wall of the Kaaba 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.(9) Ṭabāṭabāʾī Tabrīzī, "Hidāyat al-Ḥujjāj: Safar-Nāmah-i Makkah", p. 178.
Some have also said that during [[the Age of Ignorance]] (Jahiliyyah), people would come to this part of the wall of the Ka'ba to swear oaths and make pledges, and they were committed and bound to the oaths they took.<ref>ʿAlī, Jawād, "Al-Mufṣal fī Tārīkh al-ʿArab Qabl al-Islām", vol. 6, p. 437-438.</ref>
(10) Jaʿfariyān,''Āthār-i islāmi-yi Makka wa Madīna'', p. 97.


"The Supplication of Mustajār"
In the rituals of circumambulation (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 Kaaba, and say:


==Al-Multazam and Al-Mustajar==
"The Supplication of Mustajār"
There is another place on [[the wall of the Ka'ba]] known as [[Al-Mustajar]], where it is also recommended to pray. Al-Mustajar is located behind the Ka'ba on the western side and includes the area from the [[Yemeni Corner]] to the blocked door of the Ka'ba.
"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:
"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 Black Stone (Hajar al-Aswad), complete their Tawaf, and say:) O Allah, make me content with what You have provided me and bless me in what You have granted me."(11) Khomeinī, "Manāsk Ḥajj Motābaq ba Fatwā-ye Imām Khomeinī ba Ḥawāshī Marājiʿ Taqlīd wa Istiftāʾāt Jadīd", p. 436.


Since sometimes in sources and narrations, Al-Mustajar and Al-Multazam are considered names of the same place,<ref>Fāsī ,''Shifāʾ al-gharām bi akhbār al-balad al-ḥarām'', vol. 1, p. 196.</ref>
