'''Pillars of the Masjid al-Nabi''' are the large number of pillars that some of them, like the pillar of Repentance, Tahajjud, Hars, and Compassion, existed in the original structure of the mosque during the time of the [[Prophet Muhammad (s)]], and for this reason, they are of great significance to Muslims. Although [[Masjid al-Nabī|the Mosque of the Prophet]] has been rebuilt several times, the placement of these pillars has not changed in the mosque's reconstructions. These pillars were last rebuilt and distinguished from the other pillars of the mosque during the reign of Abdulmajid I, the Ottoman Sultan, with a change in color.
==The history of the pillars==
Initially, six pillars made from the trunks of date palms supported the roof of [[Al-Masjid al-Nabawi|the Masjid al-Nabi]], which was constructed from palm branches and leaves.<ref>Qarachānlū, ''Ḥaramayn-I sharīfayn'', p. 129; Samhūdī, '' Wafāʾ al-wafā bi akhbār dar al-Muṣṭafā'', vol. 1, p. 267; Yamānī, ''Mawsūʿa makka al-mukarrama wa al-madina al-munawwara'' , vol. 1, p. 246.</ref>
In the second reconstruction, the number of pillars increased, forming two or three rows, with six columns in each row.<ref>Yamānī, ''Mawsūʿa makka al-mukarrama wa al-madina al-munawwara'' , vol. 2, p. 346.</ref>
In the seventh reconstruction, the mosque expanded, and the number of pillars increased. The pillars in each row increased from six to nine.<ref>Anṣārī, '' al-. ʿImārah wa tawsiah al-masjid al-nabawīī al-sharīf  ʿabar  tārīkh'', p. 54.</ref>
In subsequent expansions, the pillars of the mosque continued to increase. In recent developments, the columns of this mosque have reached 2104 pillars.<ref>Yamānī, ''Mawsūʿa makka al-mukarrama wa al-madina al-munawwara'' , vol. 2, p. 353.</ref>
===The reconstruction of the columns===
In the mosque's expansions, the principle was to ensure that the location of the pillars did not change despite changing the material of the pillars.<ref>ʿAṭṭār, ''Al-Taʿrīf  bi tārīkh wa maʿālim al-masjid al-nabawīī al-sharīf'' , p. 169. , Qarachānlū, ''Ḥaramayn-I sharīfayn'', p. 131.</ref>
Since the reign of Malik Zaher, the Mamluk Sultan of Egypt, some of the pillars were placed inside [[the Prophet's Chamber]] or amidst the latticed walls of the Chamber.<ref>Samhūdī, '' Wafāʾ al-wafā bi akhbār dar al-Muṣṭafā'', vol. 1, p. 268.</ref>
The last time these pillars were reconstructed was during the reign of Sultan Abdulmajid I of the Ottoman Empire. Since then, until today, along with other components of the southern section of the mosque, they have remained unchanged.<ref>Anṣārī, '' al-. ʿImārah wa tawsiah al-masjid al-nabawīī al-sharīf  ʿabar  tārīkh'', p. 68.</ref>


==The blessed and sacred pillars of Masjid al-Nabi==
'''Al_Mustajār''' (Arabic: المستجار) is a part of the western wall of the Ka'ba, approximately 2 meters in length, located between [[the Rukn al-Yamani]] and the second door of the [[Ka'ba]], which was sealed during the time of [[Hajjaj b. Yusuf al-Thaqafi]]. This section is at the back of the Ka'ba, directly opposite the current door of the Ka'ba.
There are several old pillars whose count varies, and among Muslims, they hold a distinguished position due to an event or memory from the time of the Prophet Muhammad (s). Praying beside each of these columns is considered highly virtuous.
===The pillar of Imam Ali (Haras)===
{{main|Haras pillar}}
"This pillar, also known as the 'Haras' or 'Muharras' pillar, is now located within the wall of [[the Prophet's Chamber]]. It originally stood in front of Aisha's house. It is named 'Haras' because [[Imam Ali (a)]] used to sit beside this column and stand guard over the Prophet (s) at night. It is also reported that Imam Ali (a) used to perform his prayers at this location.<ref>Samhūdī, '' Wafāʾ al-wafā bi akhbār dar al-Muṣṭafā'', vol. 2, p. 179; Anṣārī, '' ʿImārah wa tawsiah al-masjid al-nabawīī al-sharīf  ʿabar  tārīkh'', p. 70; ʿAṭṭār, ''Al-Taʿrīf  bi tārīkh wa maʿālim al-masjid al-nabawīī al-sharīf'' , p. 182.</ref>


===The pillar of Repentance===
The meaning of the word Mustajār is 'refuge' or 'sanctuary.' This place is known for the acceptance of repentance and is recommended for supplication and prayer.
{{Main|Al-Tawba pillar}}
==Al- Mustajar and Al-Multazam==
The fourth pillar from the [[pulpit]] and the second pillar from [[the grave]], the third pillar from the [[qibla]], relates to the incident of Abu Lubabah's repentance during [[the Battle of Banu Qurayzah]]. Hence, it is named the pillar of Repentance or the pillar of Abu Lubabah.<ref>Samhūdī, '' Wafāʾ al-wafā bi akhbār dar al-Muṣṭafā'', vol. 2, p. 179; Anṣārī, ''ʿImārah wa tawsiah al-masjid al-nabawīī al-sharīf  ʿabar  tārīkh'', p. 70.</ref>
Two places on the wall of the Ka'ba are introduced as places for the acceptance of supplications and repentance, and there are narrations about them:Al_Mustajar and [[Al_Multazam]].


According to a narration, the Prophet used to perform most of his [[nafila prayers]] beside this column.<ref>Samhūdī, '' Wafāʾ al-wafā bi akhbār dar al-Muṣṭafā'', vol. 2, p. 180.</ref>
It is usually said that Mustajār is at the back of the [[Ka'ba]] on the western side, encompassing the distance from the [[the Rukn al-Yamani]] to the sealed door of the Kaaba, and Multazam is on the eastern side, encompassing the distance from [[the Hajar al-Aswad]] to the current door of the Ka'ba.<ref>Ṣafāʾī Farūshānī, " Makkah dar Bistar-i Tārīkh", p. 99_101.</ref>  
It is recommended for a pilgrim to observe fasting from Thursday to Friday in [[Medina]], and on Thursday, to perform their prayers beside the pillar of Repentance.<ref>Ḥillī, ''Al-Sarāʾir'', vol. 1, p. 652.</ref>
However, the narrations related to Multazam and Mustajar have been mixed together, and sometimes Mustajar and Multazam are considered two names for the same place. It is sometimes said that Shia Muslims consider [[al-Multazam]] and al-Mustajar to be the same, whereas Sunni Muslims consider them to be different, with Multazam being the area between [[the Hajar al-Aswad]] and the door of the Ka'ba.<ref>Qāʾidān, " Tārīkh wa āthār-i Islāmī-yi Makka wa Madīna", p. 71.</ref>  
Also, prayers<ref>Shahīd al-Awwal, ''Al-Mazār'', p. 65.</ref>(15)
Some Shia scholars, based on the collections of narrations from [[the Ahl al-Bayt]] regarding the acts performed at Multazam and Mustajār, have concluded that these two are names for the same place, which is Mustajār.<ref>majlisī, ''Mirāʾat al-ʿUqūl'', vol. 9, p. 106.</ref>
Worship and supplication<ref>Ṣadūq, ''Man lā yaḥḍuruh al-faqīh'', vol. 2, p. 572.</ref>
In Sunni sources, there are also numerous narrations and reports that consider Multazam to be at the back of the Ka'ba (the same place as Mustajar).<ref>Naʿmatī, "Pazhuheshī dar bāray Multazam" p. 84.</ref>
And seeking blessings beside this pillar is recommended.<ref>Amīnī, '' Al-Ghadīr fī al-kitāb wa al-sunna wa al-ʾadab'', vol. 5, p. 124.</ref>
Despite all this, in most geographical sources on Mecca, Multazam and Mustajar are distinguished from each other.<ref>Fāsī al-Makkī, ''Shifāʾ al-gharām bi akhbār al-balad al-ḥarām'',vol. 1, p. 196; Mālikī, " Taḥṣīl al-Marām fī Aḵbār al-Bayt al-Ḥarām", vol. 1, p. 200_203; Sanjārī, "Manāʾih al-Karam", vol. 1, p. 307; Ibn Zahīra,''Al-Jāmiʿ al-laṭīf fī faḍl-i Makka wa ahluhā wa bināʾ al-Bayt al-Sharīf'', p. 47. </ref>
===Wufud pillar===
{{Main|Wufud pillar}}
==Al_Mustajār and the Crack of the Ka'ba==
This pillar was located behind the Haras pillar, from the northern side.<ref>Anṣārī, ''ʿImārah wa tawsiah al-masjid al-nabawīī al-sharīf  ʿabar  tārīkh'', p. 72; Samhūdī, '' Wafāʾ al-wafā bi akhbār dar al-Muṣṭafā'', vol. 2, p. 185.</ref>
It was the place where the prophet(s) used to meet with the representatives of tribes.<ref>Samhūdī, '' Wafāʾ al-wafā bi akhbār dar al-Muṣṭafā'', vol. 2, p. 185.</ref>
===Al-Sarir pillar===
{{Main|Al-Sarir pillar}}
The Al-Sarir pillar is located in the wall of [[the Prophet's Chamber]], positioned east of the pillar of Repentance, and connected to the window overlooking [[Rawda al-Nabi]].<ref>Anṣārī, '' ʿImārah wa tawsiah al-masjid al-nabawīī al-sharīf  ʿabar  tārīkh'', p. 71; Samhūdī, '' Wafāʾ al-wafā bi akhbār dar al-Muṣṭafā'', vol. 2, p. 188.</ref>

===Al-Qurʿa Pillar (Aisha, the Emigrants)===
{{Main|Al-Qurʿa Pillar}}
Al-Qurʿa Pillar is the third pillar from [[the pulpit]], the third pillar from [[the grave]], and also the third pillar from the qibla.<ref>Samhūdī, '' Wafāʾ al-wafā bi akhbār dar al-Muṣṭafā'', vol. 2, p. 176; Anṣārī, '' ʿImārah wa tawsiah al-masjid al-nabawīī al-sharīf  ʿabar  tārīkh'', p. 69.</ref> And it is located in the middle of the Rawda al-Nabi.<ref>ʿAṭṭār, ''Al-Taʿrīf  bi tārīkh wa maʿālim al-masjid al-nabawīī al-sharīf'' , p. 173.</ref>
A narration from the Prophet through [[Aisha]] has been reported, indicating the virtue of the location of this pillar.<ref>Samhūdī, '' Wafāʾ al-wafā bi akhbār dar al-Muṣṭafā'', vol. 2, p. 176; Anṣārī, '' ʿImārah wa tawsiah al-masjid al-nabawīī al-sharīf  ʿabar  tārīkh'', p. 70.</ref>

===The column of Hananah===
*أللَّهُمَّ الْبَيْتُ بَيْتُكَ وَالْعَبْدُ عَبْدُكَ وَهذا مَكانُ الْعائِذِ بِكَ مِنَ النَّار. "O Allah, this house is Your house, and this servant is Your servant, and this is the place of one who seeks refuge with You from the Fire."

Al_Mustajār (Arabic: المستجار) is a part of the western wall of the Ka'ba, approximately 2 meters in length, located between the Rukn al-Yamani and the second door of the Ka'ba, which was sealed during the time of Hajjaj b. Yusuf al-Thaqafi. This section is at the back of the Ka'ba, directly opposite the current door of the Ka'ba.

The meaning of the word Mustajār is 'refuge' or 'sanctuary.' This place is known for the acceptance of repentance and is recommended for supplication and prayer.

Al- Mustajar and Al-Multazam

Two places on the wall of the Ka'ba are introduced as places for the acceptance of supplications and repentance, and there are narrations about them:Al_Mustajar and Al_Multazam.

It is usually said that Mustajār is at the back of the Ka'ba on the western side, encompassing the distance from the the Rukn al-Yamani to the sealed door of the Kaaba, and Multazam is on the eastern side, encompassing the distance from the Hajar al-Aswad to the current door of the Ka'ba.[1] However, the narrations related to Multazam and Mustajar have been mixed together, and sometimes Mustajar and Multazam are considered two names for the same place. It is sometimes said that Shia Muslims consider al-Multazam and al-Mustajar to be the same, whereas Sunni Muslims consider them to be different, with Multazam being the area between the Hajar al-Aswad and the door of the Ka'ba.[2] Some Shia scholars, based on the collections of narrations from the Ahl al-Bayt regarding the acts performed at Multazam and Mustajār, have concluded that these two are names for the same place, which is Mustajār.[3] In Sunni sources, there are also numerous narrations and reports that consider Multazam to be at the back of the Ka'ba (the same place as Mustajar).[4] Despite all this, in most geographical sources on Mecca, Multazam and Mustajar are distinguished from each other.[5]

Al_Mustajār and the Crack of the Ka'ba

Some consider Al_Mustajār to be the part of the wall of the Ka'ba that was split open to allow Fatimah bint Asad, the mother of Imam Ali (peace be upon him), to enter the Kaaba for the birth of her son.[6]

The Supplication of Mustajār

In the rituals of Tawaf, it is mentioned that: It is recommended for the pilgrim, in the last round of their Tawaf, to place their face and hands on the wall, press their stomach and front against the wall of the Ka'ba, and say:

  • أللَّهُمَّ الْبَيْتُ بَيْتُكَ وَالْعَبْدُ عَبْدُكَ وَهذا مَكانُ الْعائِذِ بِكَ مِنَ النَّار. "O Allah, this house is Your house, and this servant is Your servant, and this is the place of one who seeks refuge with You from the Fire."

Then, they should confess their sins and seek forgiveness, and afterwards say:

  • أللَّهُمَّ مِنْ قِبَلِكَ الرَّوْحُ وَالْفَرَجُ وَالْعافِيَةُ. أللَّهُمَّ إنَّ عَمَلِي ضَعيْفٌ فَضاعِفْهُ لِي وَاغْفِرْ لي مَا اطَّلَعْتَ عَلَيْهِ مِنِّي وَخَفِيَ عَلى‏ خَلْقِكَ أسْتَجِيرُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ النَّار."O Allah, from You comes the spirit, relief, and well-being. O Allah, my deeds are weak, so multiply them for me and forgive me for what You have seen of me that is hidden from Your creation. I seek refuge with Allah from the Fire.

Then, after that, the person should make any supplications they wish, touch the Yemeni Corner (Rukn Yamani), come to the Hajar al-Aswad, complete their Tawaf, and say:

  • أللَّهُمَّ قَنِّعْنِي بِما رَزَقْتَني وَبارِكْ لِي فِيما آتَيْتَني‏ "O Allah, make me content with what You have provided me and bless me in what You have granted me.[7]
