Sarīr pillar is one of the pillars of Masjid al-Nabi, which was the place of Prophet's Iʿtikāf . This pillar was used as the pillars of the Prophet's shrine during the reconstruction of Masjid al-Nabi by Baybars Mamluki, and since then it has been removed from the reach of pilgrims to seek blessings. According to traditions, it is recommended to seek blessing this pillar.

Location

The Sarir pillar is located in Masjid al-Nabi, in the area of Rawdat al-Nabi, on the east side of the pillar of repentance and the first pillar from the Qibla direction and connected to the western wall of the Prophet's shrine.

Reason for naming

The Sarir pillar is called by this name because during the days of I'tikaf, the Prophet used to place his bed which was made of palm leaves and wood or mat, and would perform I'tikaf and calm down on it when the time of resting.

Is Sarir pillar the same as Al-Tawba pillar?!

The local historians of Madina, such as Ibn Zabala, Ibn Najjar and Matari, did not introduce the Sarir pillar. They have only mentioned that during the I'tikaf days of the month of Ramadan, the bed of the prophet was placed between the pillar of repentance and the lamp near the prophet's grave or near the pillar of repentance or behind it from the east. Therefore, Some have considered the pillar of Sarir as the pillar of repentance.

But it is true that the bed of the prophet was sometimes next to the pillar of repentance and sometimes next to the pillar of sarir. Ayub Sabri Pasha and Ahmad bin Abdul Hamid believe that before the development of Masjid al-Nabi, which was carried out after the Battle of Khaybar, the Prophet's I'tikaf was next to The pillar of repentance and then it was moved to the side of the pillar of Sarir.

Status

After half of the Sarir pillar was placed inside the prophet's shrine during the reconstruction of Masjid al-Nabi during the reign of Malik Zahir Baibaras (R: 825-842 AH/ 1422- 1438-9) of the Mamluks of Egypt, it is not possible for pilgrims to bless it.

Virtu

On the sarir pillar, the phrase " «هذه اسطوانة السریر» This is the pillar of sarir" is written and based on some hadiths, it is recommended to bless it.
