Multazam

The area between the Hajar al-Aswad and the
Door of the Ka’bah is called the Multazam. It is
approximately two metres wide and is a place
where du’as (supplications) are accepted.
The Multazam is an area where du’as are
accepted. It is sunnah to hold on to the wall of
the Ka’bah in such a manner that a cheek,
chest and hands are against the wall. It is
reported that Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be
pleased with him) once completed the Tawaf,
performed the salah and then kissed the Hajar
al-Aswad. Thereafter, he stood between the
Hajar al-Aswad and the door of the Ka’bah in
such a manner that the cheek, chest and hands
were against the wall. He then said, “This is
what I saw Rasulullah (peace and blessings of
Allah be on him) do.”
Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with
him) says, “The signs of acceptance for any
du’a made between the Hajar al-Aswad and
the door of the Ka’bah will certainly be seen.”
Mujaahid (may Allah be pleased with him)
says, “The area between the Hajar al-Aswad
and the door is called the Multazam. Allah will
grant a person whatever he asks for there and
save him from whatever he seeks refuge from
there.”
