The named stone of Abraham’s footprint kept at Mecca. Not the Black Stone, not the Stone of Scone, and not a generic stone under a shrine name.

Also known as Station of Abraham

Islam

  • Maqam Ibrahim appears in Islam.

    The Qur’an names Maqam Ibrahim at the Sacred Mosque as a station of prayer. A named standing-place in that revelation, not the Black Stone, not the Kaaba dump, and not qibla restated.

    from M.A.S. Abdel Haleem (translation) · The Qur’an, 2004 (this translation); Arabic text 7th century CE
