سَأَلْتُهُ عَنِ الرَّجُلِ يُصَلِّي بِمَكَّةَ يَجْعَلُ الْمَقَامَ خَلْفَ ظَهْرِهِ وَ هُوَ مُسْتَقْبِلُ الْقِبْلَةِ فَقَالَ لَا بَأْسَ يُصَلِّي حَيْثُ شَاءَ مِنَ الْمَسْجِدِ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ الْمَقَامِ أَوْ خَلْفَهُ وَ أَفْضَلُهُ الْحَطِيمُ وَ الْحِجْرُ وَ عِنْدَ الْمَقَامِ وَ الْحَطِيمُ حِذَاءَ الْبَابِ .
Translation
A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Al Husayn Bin Saeed, from Fazalat Bin Ayoub, from Aban, from Zurara who said, ‘I asked him<sup>asws</sup> about the man who Prayed <span class="iTxt">Salaat</span> in Makkah, ‘Can he make the Standing Place (of Ibrahim<sup>as</sup>) to be behind his back, and he is facing the Qiblah?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘There is no problem. He can Pray <span class="iTxt">Salaat</span> wherever he so desires to, from the Masjid, be it in front of the Standing Place (of Ibrahim<sup>as</sup>) or behind it; and the most superior of it is Al-Hateem, and the (Black) Stone, and by the Standing Place (of Ibrahim<sup>as</sup>); and Al-Hateem is parallel to the Door (of the Kabah)’.
