Prophet Abraham

PROPHET ABRAHAM has commanded me to build a house here.” Abraham then gestured towards a raised spot nearby. Both of them laid the foundation of the house. Ishmael would bring the stones while Abraham would build them. As the walls grew higher, Ishmael brought a specific stone, known as the Black Stone (Hajar al-Aswad), and placed it there. Abraham would stand on that stone while continuing the construction, and Ishmael would pass him the stones. Together, they would pray, “Our Lord, accept this from us, for You are the All-Hearing, All-Knowing.” They proceeded with their construction and performed Tawaf (circumambulation) around the house, repeating their invocation: “O our Lord, accept this from us, for You are the AllHearing, All-Knowing.”” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith No. 3364)
