Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

It is narrated from Hazrat Jabir in a marfu’ form that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to the House of Allah, touched the Corner, then performed ramal in three circuits of the tawaf and walked at his normal pace in the remaining four circuits. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) proceeded towards Maqam Ibrahim and recited this verse of the Qur’an: { وَ اتَّخِذُوْا مِنْ مَّقَامِ اِبْرٰھٖمَ مُصَلًّی }. Then he placed Maqam Ibrahim between himself and the House of Allah.

Hazrat Alqamah recited the Holy Qur’an at night, then performed seven circuits of Tawaf, then came to Maqam Ibrahim and offered prayer.

Ibrahim says that there is no concession or permission for not offering prayer at Maqam Ibrahim. If, due to crowding, you are unable to pray near it, then persist until you find a place, or else find a place adjacent to it. There is no harm if you are facing it and there are several people praying between you and it.

Hasan liked to perform two rak'ahs at Maqam Ibrahim after Tawaf, and he did not consider it objectionable if someone did not perform them.

Hazrat Umar said that whoever comes for Hajj should perform seven circuits of Tawaf and then offer two rak‘ahs at Maqam Ibrahim.

Hazrat Salih bin Hayan narrates that I performed the first Tawaf with Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him). When he finished the Tawaf, he offered two rak'ahs at Maqam Ibrahim.

When Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) finished the circumambulation (tawaf), he would come to the Station of Ibrahim and perform two units of prayer.

Hazrat Dhahhak says that one should perform two rak‘ahs at Maqam Ibrahim, or as many as Allah wills.

Hazrat Abdullah performed Tawaf, then came to Maqam Ibrahim and offered two rak'ahs.

Hazrat Ata says that if you wish, you may perform the two rak'ahs of Tawaf inside the Ka'bah.
