==Name==
The reason for naming it the "al-Qur'a Pillar" is a narration from [[Aisha]], who reported that the Prophet (s) said: "In my mosque, near this pillar, there is a place where, if people knew the reward and virtue of praying there, they would draw lots to pray there."<ref>Samhūdī, ''Wafāʾ al-wafā'', vol. 2, p. 176; Yamānī, ''Mawsūʿa makka al-mukarrama'', vol. 2, p. 443.</ref>


==Reason for naming==
The reason for this name is that [[Aisha]] narrated from the Prophet: In my mosque, near this pillar, there is a place where if people know the reward and virtue of praying there, they will draw lots to pray there.<ref>Samhūdī, ''Wafāʾ al-wafā'', vol. 2, p. 176; Yamānī, ''Mawsūʿa makka al-mukarrama'', vol. 2, p. 443.</ref>
===Aisha's Pillar===
===Aisha's Pillar===
It is known that because Aisha reported a narration from the Prophet about the virtue of praying next to it, it was called by this name.<ref>Haythamī, ''Majmaʿ al-zawāʾid'', vol. 4, p. 9; Ṭabarānī, ''Al-Muʿjam al-awsaṭ'', vol. 1, p. 264.</ref> Perhaps it is because Aisha informed about it and determined its place.<ref>Ibn Zabāla, ''Akhbār al-madīna'', p. 101; Maṭarī, ''Al-Taʿrīf bimā ʾansat al-hijra'', p. 91; Najjār, ''Al-Durra al-thamīna'', p. 296.</ref> Some believe that this name was taken after Aisha.<ref>Yamānī, ''Mawsūʿa makka al-mukarrama'', vol. 2, p. 443.</ref>Now above it, the word “This is the pillar of Aisha” is written.<ref>Yamānī, ''Mawsūʿa makka al-mukarrama'', vol. 2, p. 443.</ref>
It is well-known that Aisha narrated a hadith about the virtue of praying near this pillar, and thus it was named after her.<ref>Haythamī, ''Majmaʿ al-zawāʾid'', vol. 4, p. 9; Ṭabarānī, ''Al-Muʿjam al-awsaṭ'', vol. 1, p. 264.</ref> Perhaps it is also because Aisha reported it and specified its location.<ref>Ibn Zabāla, ''Akhbār al-madīna'', p. 101; Maṭarī, ''Al-Taʿrīf bimā ʾansat al-hijra'', p. 91; Najjār, ''Al-Durra al-thamīna'', p. 296.</ref> Some believe that the pillar was later named after Aisha.<ref>Yamānī, ''Mawsūʿa makka al-mukarrama'', vol. 2, p. 443.</ref> Now, the phrase "This is Aisha's pillar" is written on top of it.<ref>Yamānī, ''Mawsūʿa makka al-mukarrama'', vol. 2, p. 443.</ref>
===pillar of immigrants===
 
This pillar is also known as “Immigrant pillar”; Because the Meccan immigrants used to sit next to it to talk. Hence, it was also called “Majlis of muhājirān”.<ref>Samhūdī, ''Wafāʾ al-wafā'', vol. 2, p. 176; Yamānī, ''Mawsūʿa makka al-mukarrama'', vol. 2, p. 443.</ref>
===Pillar of the Emmigrants===
