ميزاب الرحمة
The Mizab ar-Rahmah is a prominent golden spout protruding from the northwestern wall of the কাবা শরীফ, directly above the Hijr Ismail (Hateem). It was installed to channel rainwater from the flat roof of the কাবা শরীফ. The current spout is made of gold and was installed during Saudi-era renovations. Historically, the spout has been replaced and renovated by various Islamic rulers. When it rains in মক্কা মুকাররমা — a rare occurrence — হাজীগণ often gather beneath the Mizab to receive the water flowing from the কাবা শরীফ's roof, considering it blessed. The area directly below the Mizab, within the Hijr Ismail, is considered one of the most virtuous places to pray and make dua.
From Arabic ميزاب (mizab, 'water spout/gutter/drain') and الرحمة (ar-rahmah, 'mercy/compassion'). The term mizab comes from the root ز-ي-ب relating to flowing water.
