في بكة ما هي؟ ومكة ما هي؟Which place is Bakkah and which is Makkah?
Hadith 14697
١٤٦٩٧ - حدثنا أبو بكر (١) قال: حدثنا جعفر بن عون عن مسعر عن (عتبة) (٢) ابن قيس عن ابن عمر قال: (بكة) (٣)؛ بكت (بكاء) (٤) الذكر فيها كالأنثى (٥).
Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said that Makkah has been filled with crowds; in this name, both masculine and feminine are used (that is, this name can be used both as masculine and as feminine).
