2 الحَطِيمُ The حِجْر [q. v.] of Mekkeh, [i. e.] of the Kaa- beh; which is excluded from the Kaabeh; said in the M to be of the part next the spout; and in the T, to be that in [or rather over] which is the spout: so called because it was left broken when the House was raised: or because the Arabs used to throw in it, or upon it, the clothes in which they performed their circuitings, and it remained until it became broken by length of time: or the wall of the حِجْر of the Kaabeh; the wall over which is the spout of the Kaabeh; the wall that [partly] encloses the حِجْر of the Kaabeh, on the western [or rather north-western] side: or the part between the angle [of the Black Stone] and [the well of] Zemzem and the Makám [-Ibrá- heem] and, some add, the حِجْر: or from the Makám to the door: or the part between the black angle and the door and the Makám, where the people crowd together to offer up their supplications, so that they crush, or bruise, or press upon, one another: and there the pagans used to confederate.
