Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، عَنْ مَالِكِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَمَّا فَرَغَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ مِنْ طَوَافِ الْبَيْتِ أَتَى مَقَامَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا مَقَامُ أَبِينَا إِبْرَاهِيمَ الَّذِي قَالَ اللَّهُ سُبْحَانَهُ ‏‏{وَاتَّخِذُوا مِنْ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُصَلًّى}‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ الْوَلِيدُ فَقُلْتُ لِمَالِكٍ هَكَذَا قَرَأَهَا ‏‏{وَاتَّخِذُوا مِنْ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُصَلًّى}‏ قَالَ نَعَمْ ‏.‏

Translation

Al-ʿAbbās ibn ʿUthmān al-Dimashqī narrated to us: al-Walīd ibn Muslim narrated to us, from Mālik ibn Anas, from Jaʿfar ibn Muḥammad, from his father, from Jābir, who said: When the Messenger of God (peace and blessings be upon him) had finished circumambulating the House, he came to the Station of Abraham. ʿUmar said, “Messenger of God, this is the Station of our father Abraham, about which God, exalted is He, said: «Take the Station of Abraham as a place of prayer.»” Al-Walīd said: I asked Mālik, “Did he recite it this way: «Take the Station of Abraham as a place of prayer»?” He said, “Yes.”
