According to the famous report, after the [[Banu Qurayza]] Jews broke the agreement in the [[Ahzab Ghazwa]] and their action against the Prophet, their castles were surrounded. The Jews asked the Prophet to send his ally, Abu lubaba, to them for consultation. When Abu lubaba reached the Jews, in response to their submission to the Prophet, he pointed to his throat with his hand and told them that they would be killed if they surrendered.According to what Abu lubaba himself said, he had not yet taken a step when the feeling of betraying God and the Prophet took hold of him and to get rid of the torment of his conscience, he went to [[Masjid al-Nabi]] and tied himself to a pillar with a rope and swore that he would not allow anyone but the Prophet to remove him from that pillar.<ref>Wāqidī, ''Al-Maghāzī'', vol. 2, p. 509; Ibn Hishām, ''Al-Sīra al-nabawīyya'', vol. 4, p. 196-197; Ibn Saʿd, ''Al-Ṭabaqāt al-kubrā'', vol. 4, p. 376; Ansārī, ''ʿImārah wa tawsiah al-masjid al-nabawīī'', p. 70.</ref>

Al-Tawba pillar (Arabic: أسطوانة التوبة, pillar of repentance) known also as the Pillar of Abu Lubaba, is a significant marker within the Prophet's Mosque. It holds historical importance as the place where Abu Lubabah, a companion of the Prophet Muhammad (s), sought repentance after his transgression during the Battle of Banu Qurayzah. Abu Lubabah bound himself to this pillar until his repentance was accepted. It is recommended to offer prayers in its vicinity.

Location

The Pillar of Tawba is situated within the Rawdat al-Nabi section of the Prophet's Mosque.[1] It's positioned two pillars away from the Prophet's grave.[2] When considering the mosque's layout, the pillar is the fourth one from the Prophet's pulpit and the third from the Qibla wall.[3] Adjacent to it is the al-Qur'a Pillar, and notably, the door to the Prophet's house, often referred to as the "Door of Repentance" (Bab al-Tawbah), aligns with the level of the al-Tawba Pillar.[4]

Abu Lubaba's repentance

Main article: Abu Lubaba al-Ansari

Following the Battle of the Trench, where the Banu Qurayza broke their alliance with the Muslims and sided with the enemy, their fortress was besieged. In a desperate attempt to influence the outcome, the Banu Qurayza requested that Abu Lubabah, a trusted companion of the Prophet Muhammad, be allowed to consult with them.

Upon reaching the Banu Qurayza, Abu Lubabah in response to their intent of submission to the Prophet (s), he pointed to his throat and showed them that they would be killed if they surrender. According to Abu Lubaba before taking a step he was overwhelmed by guilt and remorse, he immediately sought forgiveness by binding himself to a pillar within the Prophet's Mosque and swore that he would not allow anyone but the Prophet to remove him from that pillar.[5]

After six,[6] seven[7] or 20 nights[8] a verse of Quran was revealed,[Explanatory Notes 1] and his repentance was accepted.[9]

Virtues

Tradition holds that the Prophet Muhammad (s) primarily offered his nafila prayers near the Pillar of Repentance.[10] Following morning prayers, he would often sit by this pillar, engaging in conversation with the poor and weak until sunrise. During these gatherings, he would share newly revealed Quranic verses.[11] Historical accounts also indicate that the Prophet occasionally performed i'tikaf near this pillar[12] and placed his bed behind it.[13]

According to hadiths, it is recommended for pilgrims of Medina to stay in this city from Wednesday to Friday and fast and perform their prayers near Al-Tawba pillar on Wednesday.[14] It is also recommended to say prayers,[15] pray[16] and seek blessings from this pillar.[17]
