Abdullah ibn Abbas narrates that the Messenger of God said that Hajar herself desired people to inhabit this place. They settled in this place and called their family members, who joined them and stayed there. As more houses were constructed in Makkah, Ishmael grew up and learned the Arabic language from the people of Jurhum. The people of Jurhum developed an affection for Ishmael, leading him to marry one of their girls. Hajar passed away. When Ishmael got married, Abraham came to visit his son but could not find him. He inquired about Ishmael from his wife, who informed him that Ishmael had gone out in search of sustenance for them. Abraham asked about their circumstances, to which she replied that they were experiencing hardship and living in difficult conditions. She expressed her concerns to Abraham. In response, Abraham advised her that when her husband returned, she should convey his greetings and ask him to change the doorstep of their house.
