عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ قَالَ عُمَرُ وَافَقْتُ رَبِّي عَزَّ وَجَلَّ فِي ثَلَاثٍ أَوْ وَافَقَنِي رَبِّي فِي ثَلَاثٍ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوِ اتَّخَذْتَ الْمَقَامَ مُصَلًّى قَالَ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ {وَاتَّخِذُوا مِنْ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُصَلًّى} [البقرة: 125] وَقُلْتُ لَوْ حَجَبْتَ عَنْ أُمَّهَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَإِنَّهُ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْكَ الْبَرُّ وَالْفَاجِرُ فَأُنْزِلَتْ آيَةُ الْحِجَابِ قَالَ وَبَلَغَنِي عَنْ أُمَّهَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ شَيْءٌ فَاسْتَقْرَأْتُهُنَّ أَقُولُ لَهُنَّ لَتَكُفُّنَّ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَوْ لَيُبْدِلَنَّهُ اللَّهُ بِكُنَّ أَزْوَاجًا خَيْرًا مِنْكُنَّ مُسْلِمَاتٍ حَتَّى أَتَيْتُ عَلَى إِحْدَى أُمَّهَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَقَالَتْ يَا عُمَرُ أَمَا فِي رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا يَعِظُ نِسَاءَهُ حَتَّى تَعِظَهُنَّ فَكَفَفْتُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ {عَسَى رَبُّهُ إِنْ طَلَّقَكُنَّ أَنْ يُبْدِلَهُ أَزْوَاجًا خَيْرًا مِنْكُنَّ مُسْلِمَاتٍ مُؤْمِنَاتٍ قَانِتَاتٍ} [التحريم: 5] الْآيَةَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: In three matters, my Lord agreed with my opinion, or my Lord made my opinion conform to His decision in three matters. I said: O Messenger of Allah! If you were to take the Maqam Ibrahim as a place of prayer? So Allah Almighty revealed this verse: {وَاتَّخِذُوا مِنْ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاہِیمَ مُصَلًّی} … Take the Maqam Ibrahim as a place of prayer. I said: O Messenger of Allah! Both righteous and wicked people come to your service, so if you were to have the Mothers of the Believers observe veiling, it would be better. After that, the verses regarding veiling were revealed. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I received some news regarding the Mothers of the Believers, so I went to each one and said: Stop making such demands from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), otherwise Allah Almighty will replace you with better Muslim women. When I made this request to one of the Mothers of the Believers, she said: Umar! Are the admonitions of the Messenger of Allah to his wives not sufficient that you have also started to admonish them in this matter? Then Allah Almighty revealed this verse: {عَسٰی رَبُّہٓ اِنْ طَلَّقَکُنَّ اَنْ یُّبْدِلَہٓ اَزْوَاجًا خَیْرًا مِّنْکُنَّ مُسْلِمٰتٍ مُّؤْمِنٰتٍ قٰنِتٰتٍ تٰئِبٰتٍ عٰبِدٰتٍ سٰئِحٰتٍ ثَیِّبٰتٍ وَّاَبْکَارًا} … It may be, if he divorces you, that his Lord will give him in your place wives better than you—submissive, believing, devout, penitent, worshipping, fasting—previously married and virgins.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … The Maqam Ibrahim refers to the stone upon which Ibrahim (alayhis salam) stood while constructing the House of Allah (Baytullah). The footprints of Ibrahim (alayhis salam) are also present on this stone. This is a wondrous, remarkable, and memorable distinction of Ibrahim (alayhis salam). Now, this stone has been preserved within a glass enclosure. After completing the circumambulation (tawaf), it is commanded to perform two units (rak‘ah) of prayer in such a manner that the Maqam Ibrahim comes between the worshipper and the Baytullah. The explanation of the remaining verses will be given at their respective places.
