	The Mosque of Ubayy ibn Ka'b, also known as the Mosque of Bani Judayla or Bani Hudayla, was historically situated within the sacred grounds of [[al-Baqi]], to the west of the revered graves of the Mothers of the Believers and the grave of Aqil. <ref>Kaʿkī, ''Maʿālim al-Madīna al-munawwara bayn al-ʿimāra wa l-tārīkh'', part. 4, vol. 2, p. 633.</ref>		The Mosque of Ubayy ibn Ka'b, also known as the Mosque of Bani Judayla or Bani Hudayla, was historically situated within the sacred grounds of [[al-Baqi]], to the west of the revered graves of the Mothers of the Believers and the grave of Aqil.<ref>Kaʿkī, ''Maʿālim al-Madīna al-munawwara bayn al-ʿimāra wa l-tārīkh'', part. 4, vol. 2, p. 633.</ref>
	According to ancient sources, the mosque was positioned to the right of the entrance to al-Baqi.

This older entrance was located to the north of the current one, near the graves of the aunts of the Messenger of Allah (S). The precise historical positioning of the mosque underscores its significant connection to the early Islamic community and its sacred traditions.<ref>Kaʿkī, ''Maʿālim al-Madīna al-Munawwara bayn al-ʿimāra wa l-tārīkh'', part. 4, vol. 2, p. 637.</ref>		According to ancient sources, the mosque was positioned to the right of the entrance to al-Baqi.

'''Mosque of Ubay B. Ka'b''', also known as the Mosque of Bani Judayla (Bani Hudayla) or the [[Mosque of Al-Baqi']], was one of the ancient mosques in the city of [[Medina]]. It was constructed at the location of the Prophet's prayer area but is no longer present today. This mosque was situated inside the [[Baqi' Cemetery]], west of the graves of the [[Mothers of the Believers]] and the [[grave of Aqil]].

According to reports, this mosque was built during the time of [[Umar b. 'Abdulaziz]], the governor of Medina. However, it had been destroyed in the 8th and 9th of hijra. During the Ottoman rule, the mosque was reconstructed, but it was again ruined, and nowadays, there is no trace of it inside the Baqi' Cemetery.

==Location==

This mosque was situated in the west of the graves of the Mothers of the Believers and the [[grave of Aqil]] in [[Baqi']].<ref>Kaʿkī, ''Maʿālim al-Madīna al-munawwara bayn al-ʿimāra wa l-tārīkh'', part. 4, vol. 2, p. 633.</ref>
In ancient sources, the location of the mosque was described as on the right side at the entrance of Baqi'. However, the current meaning of "entrance," constructed during the Saudi era, does not refer to the northern side of the present Baqi'. Instead, it is a reference to a place that was previously situated north, in close proximity to the graves of the Prophet's relatives.<ref>Kaʿkī, ''Maʿālim al-Madīna al-munawwara bayn al-ʿimāra wa l-tārīkh'', part. 4, vol. 2, p. 637.</ref>

==House of Ubay B. Ka'b==

Originally, this mosque was the residence of [[Ubay B. Ka'b]], which later transformed into a mosque. Subsequently, it became part of the Baqi' Cemetery. According to a narration, the Prophet had a preference for praying in this location and offered prayers there multiple times.<ref>Numayrī, ''Tārīkh al-madīna al-munawwara'', vol. 1, p. 64.</ref>
This mosque was located in the neighborhood of Bani Hudayla or Bani Judayla.<ref>Numayrī, ''Tārīkh al-madīna al-munawwara'', vol. 1, p. 64.</ref>And this mosque has been referred to by these names as well.

==Building History==

The name of the mosque is mentioned in ancient historical records of [[Medina]]. However, reports from the 8th and 9th centuries indicate that the mosque had been demolished. Samhudi (d. 911/1505-6) listed the name of this mosque among those whose general location is known, but no trace of it remains. He quotes Matri (741 AH/1340-1), stating that even during his time, the mosque remained in the same condition.<ref>Samhūdī, ''Wafāʾ al-wafā bi akhbār dar al-Muṣṭafā'', vol. 3, p. 211.</ref>
According to Samhudi, the Mosque of Ubay B. Ka'b was situated in the west of the [[tombs of Aqil]] and [[the Mothers of the Believers]] (امهات المومنین ). During his time, only one column of the mosque remained, and according to Samhudi, the remaining ruins indicated that this mosque was built during the time of Umar b. Abdulaziz.<ref>Samhūdī, ''Wafāʾ al-wafā bi akhbār dar al-Muṣṭafā'', vol. 3, p. 211.</ref>

===14th/19th Century===

Some historians from later periods have mentioned the existence of this mosque. According to Ibrahim Rafat Pasha in "Miraat al-Haramayn," the mosque was reconstructed during the Ottoman rule. The Ottomans had built a sturdy structure with a mihrab for the mosque.<ref>Rafʿat Pāshā, ''Mirʾāt al-ḥaramayn'', vol. 1, p. 420.</ref>
His book is the result of his pilgrimage journeys between the years 1318 to 1325 Hijri/1900-1908.<ref>Rafʿat Pāshā, ''Mirʾāt al-ḥaramayn'', vol. 1, p. 3.</ref>
Yasin Ahmad Khayyari (d. 1380 AH / 1960-1 AD) has also quoted the same expression from the book "Miraat al-Haramayn."<ref>Khiyārī,''Tārīkh maʿālimal-madīna al-munawwara qadīman wa ḥadīthan'', p. 203.</ref>

Ayyashi, in the late 14th century/19 AD, also witnessed this mosque and reported on it. He explicitly mentions that the Turkish government had constructed a mosque inside Baqi', on the right side, near the northern gate of the western wall. During his time, this mosque was in a state of ruin.<ref>ʿAyyāshī, ''Al-Madīna al-munawwara bayn al-māḍī wa al-ḥāḍir'', p. 169.</ref>

Today, this mosque no longer exists, and its location is an empty piece of land.

	The Mosque of Ubayy ibn Ka'b is prominently mentioned in ancient historical records of Medina. However, by the 8th and 9th centuries, reports indicate that this mosque had largely fallen into disrepair. Al-Samhudi (d. 911 AH) includes this mosque in his enumeration of notable mosques, noting that although its general location was known, the structure itself was no longer intact. He references Al-Mutri (d. 741 AH), who similarly observed that the mosque remained in a state of neglect during his time.<ref>Samhūdī, ''Wafāʾ al-wafā bi akhbār dar al-Muṣṭafā'', vol. 3, p. 211.</ref>		The Mosque of [[Ubayy ibn Ka'b]] is prominently mentioned in ancient historical records of Medina.

	According to Al-Samhudi, the Mosque of Ubayy ibn Ka'b was situated to the west of the tombs of Aqil and the Mothers of the Believers in the al-Baqi cemetery. In his account, only one pillar of the mosque remained standing. He posits that the remnants of the structure suggested its construction during the era of [[Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz]]. This historical context highlights the enduring significance of the mosque, reflecting its connection to the early Islamic period and its association with prominent figures of that era.<ref>Samhūdī, ''Wafāʾ al-wafā bi akhbār dar al-Muṣṭafā'', vol. 3, p. 211.</ref>		According to [[Al-Samhudi]], the Mosque of [[Ubayy ibn Ka'b]] was situated to the west of the tombs of Aqil and the Mothers of the Believers in the al-Baqi cemetery.
