Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ حُمَيْدٍ الطَّوِيلِ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ قَالَ عُمَرُ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَوِ اتَّخَذْتَ مِنْ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُصَلًّى فَنَزَلَتْ {وَاتَّخِذُوا مِنْ مَقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُصَلًّى} .
Translation
Muhammad ibn al-Sabbah narrated to us: Hushaym narrated to us, from Humayd al-Tawil, from Anas ibn Malik, who said: Umar said: I said, Messenger of Allah, if only you took the Station of Ibrahim as a place of prayer. Then the verse was revealed: “Take the Station of Ibrahim as a place of prayer.”
