EPISODE 4️5️ – MUSSALLAH JIBREEL
The location of the brown marble pieces on the Shadharawan of the Ka’bah is what is known as ‘Musallah Jibreel.
They mark the spot where the angel Jibreel (عليه السلام) taught the Prophet (ﷺ) how to pray salah following the miraculous night journey to Masjid al-Aqsa.
It was narrated on the authority of Ibn Abbas (رضي الله عنه) that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Jibreel (عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ) led me in Salah twice near Bayt Allaah. The first time, we offered the Salah of Zuhr when the shadow was like the thong of a shoe. Then, we offered Asr when the shadow of everything was equal to it, and maghrib after sunset when the fasting man takes iftar (breaks his fast), and Isha when the twilight disappeared, and fajr when one who fasts is forbidden food and drink. The second time, we offerred Zuhr when the shadow of everything was like it in length at the time of Asr on the previous day. Then we offered the Asr when the shadow of everything was twice as long. We prayed Maghrib at the same time as the previous day; we prayed Isha when one-third of the night was over and Fajr when the earth was well-lit. Then Jibreel turned to me and said; “O Muhammad! This was the time observed by Prophets before you, and the time (of five Salah) is between these two times.”
[Sunan at-Tirmidhi 149; Ahmed 3081; Abu Dawud 393]
The musallah is made up of eight pieces of marble.
The stone that forms the marbles are known as ‘Mariam Stone’, one of the rarest types in the world. They were gifted by Caliph Abu Jafar al-Mansur.
The marbles range in different sizes with the largest being 33cm long and 21cm wide.
