حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ كِسَاءٍ الْوَاسِطِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْعَلاءُ بْنُ سَالِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ النَّجَّارُ ، حَدَّثَنَا قُرَّةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ : وَافَقْتُ رَبِّي فِي ثَلاثٍ ، قُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، "هَذَا مَقَامُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ لَوِ اتَّخَذْنَاهُ مُصَلًّى ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى : وَاتَّخِذُوا مِنْ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُصَلًّى سورة البقرة آية 125 ، وَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، لَوْ حَجَبْتَ نِسَاءَكَ فَإِنَّهُ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْكَ الْبَرُّ وَالْفَاجِرُ ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ آيَةَ الْحِجَابِ وَإِذَا سَأَلْتُمُوهُنَّ مَتَاعًا فَاسْأَلُوهُنَّ مِنْ وَرَاءِ حِجَابٍ سورة الأحزاب آية 53 ، وَقُلْتُ فِي أُسَارَى بَدْرٍ : اضْرِبْ أَعْنَاقَهُمْ ، فَاسْتَشَارَ أَصْحَابَهُ ، فَأَشَارُوا عَلَيْهِ بِأَخْذِ الْفِدَاءِ ، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ كَانَ لِنَبِيٍّ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ أَسْرَى حَتَّى يُثْخِنَ فِي الأَرْضِ سورة الأنفال آية 67 "، لَمْ يَرْوِهِ عَنْ قُرَّةَ بْنِ خَالِدٍ ، إِلا حَفْصُ بْنُ عُمَرَ النَّجَّارُ الرَّازِيُّ الإِمَامُ ، تَفَرَّدَ بِهِ الْعَلاءُ بْنُ سَالِمٍ
Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I agreed with my Lord in three matters. One, I said: O Messenger of Allah! If only we took the Maqam Ibrahim as a place of prayer, so Allah Almighty revealed this verse: «وَاتَّخِذُوا مِنْ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُصَلًّى» (Al-Baqarah: 125) "Take the Maqam Ibrahim as a place of prayer." The second matter was, I said: If only you (O Messenger of Allah) would have your wives observe veiling, because both good and bad people come to you, so Allah Almighty revealed the verse of veiling: «وَإِذَا سَأَلْتُمُوهُنَّ مَتَاعًا فَاسْأَلُوهُنَّ مِنْ وَرَاءِ حِجَابٍ» (Al-Ahzab: 53) "And when you ask them for anything, ask them from behind a curtain." The third matter was, I said: Execute the prisoners of Badr, but you (O Messenger of Allah) consulted your companions and they advised taking ransom, so Allah Almighty revealed this verse: «مَا كَانَ لِنَبِيٍّ أَنْ يَكُونَ لَهُ أَسْرَىٰ حَتَّى يُثْخِنَ فِي الْأَرْضِ» (Al-Anfal: 67) "It is not for a Prophet to have captives until he has thoroughly slaughtered in the land."

Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊ The Maqam Ibrahim refers to the stone upon which Prophet Ibrahim (alayhis salam) stood while constructing the Ka'bah. This stone bears the footprints of Prophet Ibrahim (alayhis salam).
➋ After performing the circumambulation (tawaf), one should offer two units (rak‘ah) of prayer near the Maqam Ibrahim (alayhis salam). Abdullah ibn Umar (radi Allahu anhuma) said: The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) arrived, performed seven circuits (tawaf) around the House of Allah, offered two units of prayer behind the Maqam Ibrahim (alayhis salam), and performed circuits (sa‘i) between Safa and Marwah. (Sahih al-Bukhari, Kitab al-Salat, Chapter: The Statement of Allah, the Exalted: “And take the Maqam Ibrahim as a place of prayer” (), Hadith: 395)
➌ When offering prayer near the Maqam Ibrahim (alayhis salam), one must face the Ka'bah. Some uninformed people try to face the Maqam Ibrahim itself. If the face is not towards the Ka'bah, this is not correct, because the qiblah is the structure of the Ka'bah itself.
➍ If space is not available near the Maqam Ibrahim, then two units of prayer can be offered anywhere in Masjid al-Haram.
➎ In this, there is a virtue of Umar (radi Allahu anhu): that the very desire which Allah was going to command was inspired in his heart. There are also several other matters in which Umar (radi Allahu anhu) had a desire in his heart before the rulings were revealed, and then rulings were revealed from the heavens in accordance with his desire. (Sahih al-Bukhari, Kitab al-Salat, Chapter: What has come regarding the qiblah... etc., Hadith: 402)
