The mosque structure is an open, roofless square, measuring approximately eleven meters in length and width, with stone walls that stand at a height of one meter. It has been reported that the Prophet (s) prayed within the boundaries of this mosque.


			==The Prophet's Prayer==
			[[Prophet Muhammad (S)]] offered prayers in the vicinity of this mosque, in the region of al-'Usba, near the [[al-Hujaym well]].<ref>''Al-Taʿrīf bi-mā ansat al-hijra'', p. 217.</ref>

	==Location and Name==		==Location and Name==
			The al-'Usba Mosque takes its name from its location in the village of al-'Usba. Al-'Usba village is situated to the west of Quba Mosque,<ref>''Al-Masājid al-atharīyya'', p. 123.</ref> in a region characterized by its lush fields and abundant water wells.<ref>''Al-Taʿrīf bi-mā ansat al-hijra'', p. 217.</ref> This area is also referred to as al-'Usba Castle and Fence.<ref>''Al-Maghānim al-muṭāba fī maʿālīm Ṭāba'', p. 265.</ref> This is the place where a group of the Emigrants (Muhajirin) stopped before the arrival of the Prophet (s) to Medina.<ref>''Al-Masājid al-atharīyya'', p. 124; ''Al-Maʿālim al-Madīna al-munawwara bayn al-ʿimāra wa l-tārīkh'', Part Four, Volume Three, p. 229-230.</ref>

			The name of the al-'Usba Mosque is not mentioned in the geographical sources of Medina, but the al-Tawba Mosque in al-'Usba, near the Hujaym Well, is mentioned.<ref>''Al-Taʿrīf bi-mā ansat al-hijra'', p. 217; ''Wafāʾ al-wafāʾ'', Samhūdī, vol. 3, p. 248.</ref> 'Ali b. 'Abd Allah al-Samhudi, a historian of Medina in the eighth/fourteenth century, explicitly stated that he did not know the reason for the name of the al-Tawba Mosque.<ref>''Wafāʾ al-wafāʾ'', Samhūdī, vol. 3, p. 248.</ref> This area was the residence of Banu Jahjaba, and therefore some have also named this mosque the Banu Jahjaba Mosque.<ref>Al-Maʿālim al-Madīnah al-Munawwara</ref>

	~~The~~ al-~~Usba~~ Mosque ~~takes its name from its location in the village~~ of ~~al-Usba. Al-Usba village is situated to~~ the ~~west of~~ Quba ~~Mosque,~~<ref>~~Masājid~~ al-~~Āthariyya, ʿAbd~~ al-~~Ghanī~~, p. ~~123.~~</ref> in ~~a region characterized by its lush fields and abundant water wells.<ref>Al-Taʿrīf bimā Anasat al-Hijrah~~, ~~Maṭarī, p. 217~~.</ref> ~~This area is also referred to as~~ Al-Usba Castle and Fence.<ref>Al-Maghānim al-Muṭāba fī Maʿālim Ṭābah, Fīrūzābādī, p. 265.</ref> This is the place where a group of the Emigrants (Muhajirin) stopped before the arrival of the Prophet (s) to Medina.<ref>Masājid al-~~Āthariyya, ʿAbdu al-Ghanī~~, p. 124~~; Maʿālim al-Madīnah al-Munawwara Bayna al-Miʿmāra wa al-Tārīkh, Part Four, Volume Three, p. 229-230.~~</ref>		Some researchers of Medina's history have identified this mosque with al-Nur Mosque (which was one of the mosques near Quba').<ref>''Al-Madīna bayn al-Māḍī wa al-Ḥāẓir'', p. 302</ref> However, in old sources, these mosques have not been considered the same.<ref>''Al-Masājid al-atharīyya'', p. 124</ref>

	~~Additionally, it is recognized by several other names, including Al-Tawba Mosque, Al-Noor Mosque, and Al-Mu'assab Mosque.<ref>Masājid~~ al-~~Āthariyya~~, ~~ʿAbd~~ al-~~Ghanī, p. 123~~.</ref> ~~However, the reasons behind these alternative names are not well documented. [[~~Al-~~Samhudi]], a renowned historian of Medina from the 8th century AH, noted that the origin of the name "Al~~-~~Tawba Mosque" remains unknown, leaving the historical significance of the title somewhat unclear.<ref>Wafā’~~ al-~~Wafā’, Samhūdī, vol. 3~~, p. ~~248.~~</ref>		Reports available from the 15th/20th century place the location of this mosque in the garden of Ibrahim al-Turki, which was called Bustan al-'Usba.<ref>''Al-Madīna bayn al-Māḍī wa al-Ḥāẓir'', p. 302</ref>

	~~The Structure~~ of the ~~Mosque~~		==History==
	~~The~~ mosque ~~is designed as an open square~~, ~~measuring approximately 11 meters~~ in ~~both length~~ and ~~width~~. ~~Its stone walls rise to a height~~ of ~~one meter, with visible traces of whitewashing~~.<ref>Al-~~Madīnah Bayna al~~-~~Māḍhī wa~~ al-~~Ḥāḍhir~~, p. ~~302~~; ~~Masājid~~ al-~~Āthariyya~~, ~~ʿAbdu al-Ghanī~~, p. ~~124; Maʿālim~~ al-~~Madīnah~~ al-~~Munawwara Bayna~~ al-~~Miʿmāra wa~~ al-~~Tārīkh, Part Four, Volume Three~~, p. ~~229-230.~~</ref>		There is no precise information available about the time of the mosque's construction. Some speculate that this mosque may have been among the mosques built during the reign of [['Umar b. 'Abd al-'Aziz]] over Medina.<ref>''Maʿālim al-Madīna al-munawwara'', part 4, vol. 3, p. 228</ref> There was no trace of this mosque in the eighth/fourteenth and ninth/fifteenth centuries, as Muhammad b. Ahmad al-Matari (d. 741 AH) and al-Samhudi (d. 911 AH) mentioned it in the section of mosques that are not known.<ref>''Al-Taʿrīf bi-mā ansat al-hijra'', p. 217; ''Wafāʾ al-wafāʾ'', vol. 3, p. 248</ref> Muhammad Kibrit al-Madani (1012-1070 AH) also states in the eleventh/seventeenth century that there is no trace of this mosque.<ref>''Al-Jawāhir al-thamīna'', p. 157</ref> Ahmad al-Abbasi (d. eleventh century AH) spoke of the existence of the mosque's remains near the Hujaym Well.<ref>''ʿUmdat al-akhbār'', p. 175</ref>

	==~~The Prophet's Prayer~~==		==Structure==
	~~[[Prophet Muhammad (S)]] offered prayers in~~ the ~~vicinity~~ of ~~this mosque~~, ~~in the region~~ of ~~al-Usba, near the [[al-Hujaym well]]~~.<ref>''Al-Ta'~~rif bi~~-~~Ma Anista~~ al-~~Hijrah~~'', p. ~~217~~.</ref>		Today, the mosque's structure consists of a roofless square with a length and width of approximately 11 meters, and with stone walls one meter high that show traces of whitewashing.<ref>''Al-Masājid al-atharīyya'', p. 124; ''Al-Maʿālim al-Madīna al-munawwara bayn al-ʿimāra wa l-tārīkh'', Part Four, Volume Three, p. 229-230.</ref>

Names
The Al-Usbah Mosque takes its name from its location in the village of Usbah.

Al-Samhudi, a renowned historian of Medina from the 8th century AH, noted that the origin of the name "Al-Tawba Mosque" remains unknown, leaving the historical significance of the title somewhat unclear. <ref>Wafā’ al-Wafā’, Samhūdī, vol. 3, p. 248.</ref>
