He (the Imam) said, ‘If he is in town he must perform the two Rak‘at near Maqam (station) of Ibrahim ‘Alayhi al-Salam, because Allah, most Majestic, most Glorious, says “Take Maqam (station) of Ibrahim ‘Alayhi al-Salam, as the place for Salat (prayer),” but if he has left the town then I do not command him to return.”’
