"On the authority of Habib ibn Abi al-Ashras, who said: The flood of Umm Nahshal occurred before 'Umar built the dam at the upper part of Makkah, and it carried the Maqam away from its place, and its location was not known. When 'Umar ibn al-Khattab arrived, he asked: Who knows its place? Al-Muttalib ibn Abi Wada'ah said: I do, O Commander of the Believers. I had measured it and paced it with a cord, and I was apprehensive about it from al-Hijr to it, and from the corner to it, and from the front of the Ka'bah. He said: Bring it. He brought it and placed it in this place. 'Umar then built the dam at that time. Sufyan said: That is what Hisham ibn 'Urwah narrated to us from his father, that the Maqam was at the base of the House. As for its place, which is its place, it is its place now. As for what people say, that its place was there, no."
