Why was the Station of Ibrahim given this name?

Question:
May Allah reward you. Shaykh Salih, this brother the questioner says: Why is the Station of Ibrahim called by this name? And is the station itself the one upon which Ibrahim (peace be upon him) stood?

Answer:
Allah the Exalted said: The Station of Ibrahim is the stone upon which he used to stand when building the Ka'bah, and it would rise with him and descend with him, and it bears the marks of his feet (peace and blessings be upon him). Allah made it one of the markers and commanded prayer near it: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) clarified this when he finished the tawaf; he came to the Station of Ibrahim and recited this verse: He placed it between himself and the Ka'bah, then he prayed two rak'ahs. In the first, he recited al-Fatihah and "Say, O you disbelievers," and in the second, he recited al-Fatihah and "Say, He is Allah, One."
