Ismail and the House
إسماعيل والبيت
Ismail was a forbearing boy, a prophet, and an ancestor of the Arabs of the House. His mother ran between Safa and Marwah. Zamzam sprang. The Prophet kept that run as sa'y. Ibn Abbas told the long report in Bukhari: the well, the bird, Jurhum, and how Makkah was settled.
Ismail helped his father raise the Kaaba. The adhan of Ibrahim is still answered every Hajj: here I am, O Allah.
