SHADAHRWAN
(shazarwan)
A slope of
marble which is made in three
sides in the bottom of the kabas' walls is called
shadharwan or shazarwan. At the time of Qureshs' construction the width
of the walls were kept little bit thinner than the original wall size
made by Syedna Ibrahim allihisam. Because of this reason few
inches of inner side of holy kaba had come outside which is present
even today.
Slope is shadharwan. iron rings
are fixed and ropes of drapery (ghalaf) fastened
If this slope
had not been made,pilgrims might have stepped in inner portion of
the kabba during tawaf beside kabba walls. To avoid such mistake
the shadharwan (slope)is made so that pilgrims might keep
themselves completely outside from the original foundations of
holy kabba during tawaf which is basic requirement of a valid
tawaf. As all of us know hateem is also an inner portion of kabba
but there is no roof over it even today and tawaf is done outside
hateem to fulfill the Basie requirement of tawaf.
shadharwans'
height is 34 to 35 c.m
where as its' width is 45c.m.

(multazim and kabba door come in
between
so slope is not made
with half of this wall )
From

Rukn-e-shami
=
Nil stone
( in between of
these wall
hateem lies which its
self is inner partof kaba ,so
no shadharwan slopy
stone has been fixed
here. only a

bricks are fixed here in
the bottom of kaba which
is called in
arabic hajar-e-salwan which would be
described in next chapter inshaallah)
