Verse 125

وَإِذْ And when جَعَلْنَا We made ٱلْبَيْتَ the House مَثَابَةًۭ a place of return لِّلنَّاسِ for mankind وَأَمْنًۭا and (a place of) security وَٱتَّخِذُوا۟ and (said), "Take مِن [from] مَّقَامِ (the) standing place إِبْرَٰهِـۧمَ (of) Ibrahim مُصَلًّۭى ۖ (as) a place of prayer وَعَهِدْنَآ And We made a covenant إِلَىٰٓ with إِبْرَٰهِـۧمَ Ibrahim وَإِسْمَـٰعِيلَ and Ishmael أَن [that] طَهِّرَا [You both] purify بَيْتِىَ My House لِلطَّآئِفِينَ for those who circumambulate وَٱلْعَـٰكِفِينَ and those who seclude themselves for devotion and prayer وَٱلرُّكَّعِ and those who bow down ٱلسُّجُودِ and those who prostrate ١٢٥

And [mention] when We made the House [i.e., the Kaʿbah] a place of return for the people and [a place of] security. And take, [O believers], from the standing place of Abraham a place of prayer. And We charged Abraham and Ishmael, [saying], "Purify My House for those who perform ṭawāf and those who are staying [there] for worship and those who bow and prostrate [in prayer]."
