What are the rulings regarding passing by Maqam Ibrahim?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What do we say when we pass by Maqam Ibrahim? Do we greet it?

Answer:
No, Allah did not prescribe anything at the Station of Ibrahim except prayer, two rak'ahs after the tawaf. This is what Allah prescribed, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) clarified this when he finished the tawaf: he touched the Black Stone, then came and placed the Station between himself and the Ka'bah, then he recited the words of Allah the Exalted:
And take, [O believers], from the standing place of Abraham a place of prayer.وَاتَّخِذُوا مِن مَّقَامِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ مُصَلًّى
[Al-Baqarah 2:125]
then he prayed two rak'ahs behind the Station. This is the Sunnah of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
