1009. It was narrated that Anas bin Mâlik told that 'Umar said: "I said: 'O Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, why do you not take the Maqâm of Ibrâhim as a place of prayer?' Then the following was revealed: 'And take you (people) the Maqâm of Ibrâhim as a place of prayer.''"[1] (Sahih)
1009 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ قَالَ: 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} [البقرة: 125]

The Maqâm of Ibrâhim (the Station of Ibrâhim) is the stone used as a platform by Ibrâhim ﷺ during the construction of the Sacred House. The stone still bears the footmarks of Ibrâhim ﷺ After finishing the Tawâf (ritual circling the Holy House), we should perform two Rak'ah near the Maqâm of Ibrâhim ﷺ. If it is not possible to perform the prayer near the spot, we could perform prayer wherever convenient inside the Sacred Mosque. It proves the superiority of 'Umar ﷺ, that he longed exactly for what Allâh was to reveal shortly.
