Tammam al-Razi said in the book Fadl Maghārat al-Dam: Abu Ya'qub Ishaq ibn Ibrahim al-Adhra'i narrated to us, one whom I trust narrated to me, Muhammad ibn Ahmad ibn Ibrahim narrated to us, from al-Walid ibn Muslim, from Ibn Jurayj, from 'Urwah ibn Ruwaym, from his father, who said: I heard 'Ali ibn Abi Talib and Mu'awiyah saying: We heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and a man asked him about al-Atharat in Damascus, and he said: "There is a mountain there called 'Qasyun', in which the son of Adam killed his brother, and at its base, in the striking place, Ibrahim was born, and in it Allah the Exalted sheltered 'Isa ibn Maryam and his mother from the Jews. No servant comes to the spot of the Spirit of Allah, performs ghusl, prays and supplicates, except that Allah does not return him disappointed." A man said: 'O Messenger of Allah! Describe it to us.' He said: "It is in al-Ghuta, in a city called 'Damascus'. Shall I add more? It is a mountain that Allah spoke to, in which my father Ibrahim was born. Whoever comes to this place, let him not fall short in supplication." A man said: 'O Messenger of Allah! Was it a refuge for Yahya?' He said: "Yes, Yahya sought refuge in it from this, and a man of the people of 'Ad in the cave beneath the blood of the son of Adam who was killed, and in it Ilyas sought refuge from the king of his people, and in it Ibrahim, Lut, Musa, 'Isa and Ayyub prayed. So do not fall short in supplication there, for Allah has revealed to me: {Call upon Me; I will respond to you} (40:60)." A man said: 'O Messenger of Allah! Does our Lord hear supplication, or how is that?' So He revealed to me: {And when My servants ask you concerning Me, indeed I am near. I respond to the invocation of the caller when he calls upon Me} (2:186)."
