The Commander of the Faithful, Sayyiduna Umar bin Al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I agreed with my Lord in three matters. I said: O Messenger of Allah! If only you would take the Station of Ibrahim as a place of prayer, then Allah the Exalted revealed this noble verse: «وَاتَّخِذُوامِنْمَقَامِإِبْرَاهِيمَمُصَلًّى»[بقرة 125/2] meaning, "Take the Station of Ibrahim as a place of prayer."
