Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا الْعَبَّاسُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ 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 ‏‏{وَاتَّخِذُوا مِنْ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُصَلًّى }‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ الْوَلِيدُ فَقُلْتُ لِمَالِكٍ أَهَكَذَا قَرَأَ ‏{وَاتَّخِذُوا}‏ قَالَ نَعَمْ ‏.‏

Translation

Al-Abbas ibn Uthman al-Dimashqi narrated to us: Al-Walid ibn Muslim narrated to us: Malik ibn Anas narrated to us, from Jafar ibn Muhammad, from his father, from Jabir, who said: When the Messenger of Allah had finished circumambulating the House, he went to the Station of Ibrahim. Umar said, Messenger of Allah, this is the station of our father Ibrahim, about which Allah said, Take the Station of Ibrahim as a place of prayer. Al-Walid said: I asked Malik whether he had recited the verse that way, and he replied that he had.
