2960. It was narrated that Jâbir said: "When Allâh's Messenger ﷺ finished circumambulating the House, he came to Maqâm Ibrâhim. 'Umar said: 'O Messenger of Allâh, this is the Maqâm of our father Ibrâhim, about which Allâh says, "And take you (people) the Maqâm (place) of Ibrâhim as a place of prayer.'"[1] (Sahih)
(One of the narrators) Walid said: "I said to Mâlik: 'This is how he recited it: "And take you"?' He said: 'Yes.'"[2]

Commentary
a. Maqâm Ibrâhim is the stone Ibrâhim ﷺ stood on while constructing the Ka'bah.
b. Walid bin Muslim asked Imâm Mâlik ﷺ about the recital of this Verse, since the Verse is recited in a different dialect. According to this dialect the verb is used as past tense instead of imperative one. In this case the translation becomes "And they made the standing place of Ibrâhim a place of prayer." (Al-Baqarah 2:125). It means that the ruling was same even in the previous Shari'ah.
