Authentic narrations confirm that Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, was the one who moved the Maqam (Station) from its original place. This was narrated by Abd al-Razzaq in his Musannaf and transmitted by Ibn Kathir in his Tafsir (exegesis) regarding Allah's statement: (And take, [O believers], from the standing place of Abraham a place of prayer). It is not known precisely in which year this occurred, and there is no legal benefit in knowing its date.
