When he got up from prostration, he said: Gabriel came to me and said: Whoever from your nation sends blessings upon you, God sends blessings upon him; I prostrated for gratitude.[2]
Mosque names
This mosque has been called by different names. Because of the prostration of the Prophet, which was mentioned above, it is called the Mosque of Sajda or the Mosque of shukr(gratitude). Because it was next to garden of Al-Buḥayrī, it was called Al-Buḥayr or Al-Buḥayrī Mosque, and because it was close to the ʾAswāf palm-grove or on the way to Al-Sāfila Gardens, it was also called the ʾAswāf or Sāfila Mosque.[3] It is not exactly clear why and when this mosque became known as Abu Dhar Mosque, but Maṭarī, a local historian of Medina, mentioned it, as Abu Dhar Mosque in the 8th/14th century.

[6] Another report from the year 1303/1885-6 AD describes the Abu Dhar Ghifārī mosque as a small mosque without a roof near the Ṣadaqa spring.[7] ʿAbdu-l Quddus Anṣārī, also spoke about this mosque in his book. He described Al-Buḥayr Mosque as a very small square mosque with a length and width of 4 meters and according to his report, the walls of this mosque were one meter high.[8] Sayyid Aḥmad Yāsīn al-Khayārī, In his book, which was first published in 1410/1989-90, spoke about the reconstruction of the mosque in a beautiful way and that this mosque was under the supervision of the endowment department of Saudi Arabia.
