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.
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_Mustajār and [[Al-MultazamAl_Multazam]].


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 Ka'ba.<ref>Ṣafāʾī Farūshānī, " Makkah dar Bistar-i Tārīkh", p. 99_101.</ref>  
It is usually said that Mustajār is at the back of the [[Ka'ba]] 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 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 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.

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.

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.

"Mustajār and the Crack of the Kaaba"
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.(9) Ṭabāṭabāʾī Tabrīzī, "Hidāyat al-Ḥujjāj: Safar-Nāmah-i Makkah", p. 178.
