Tafsir
And mention when We settled when We pointed out for Abraham the site of the House that he may build it — for it the House had been raised to heaven at the time of the Flood — and We commanded him saying ‘Do not ascribe any partner to Me and purify My House of graven images for those who circumambulate it and those who are resident staying therein and those who bow and prostrate al-rukka‘ and al-sujūd are the plural forms of rāki‘ and sājid respectively those praying.

Ibn Abbas Commentary
(And (remember) when We prepared for Abraham) when We explained to Abraham (the place of the (holy) House) by means of a cloud which had stopped close to him, and so he built the House by the side whereby the cloud stopped. And We inspired him (saying: Ascribe thou no thing) no idols (as partner unto Me, and purify My House) purify My Mosque from idols (for those who make the round (thereof) and those who stand) and those who live there (and those who bow and make prostration) the people who pray from all countries and from wherever they happen to come.
