Meezab is a golden spout from which rainwater on the roof of the Kaaba falls on the hijr Ismail. It is reported that the Prophet (saw) prayed at the place.
It is commonly referred to as “Meezab-e-Rahmah” (Mercy Drain).
The Quraysh were the first to build a roof on the Kaaba, and therefore the first to attach this drain pipe. Before their construction, there was no roof or drainpipe.
