Location

Al-Mukhallaqah Pillar is the closest pillar to the Prophet's Mihrab, and is now connected to the back of the mihrab from the west[1] and now it is a little ahead of its original place[2] and above it is written in a green circle with golden lines the words "أسطوانه المخلّقه" (al- Mukhallaqa Pillar).[3]

Name

The Arabic word, al-Mukhallaqa (المُخَلَّقه), is derived from khalūq (خَلوق) or khalāq (خَلاق) means a pleasant fragrance. It is a type of perfume whose major part is saffron.[4] This pillar was named al-Mukhallkha (perfumed) because to perfume the mosque, it was anointed with perfume or incense was burned on it.[5]

History

There are several narrations of the first people who tried to perfume the mosque:

  • It is said that the first person who perfumed the Prophet's Mosque was the wife of 'Uthman b. Maz'un, one of the first Muslims, when her husband spat in the mosque, he washed and perfumed the mosque.[6]

Al-'Alam Pillar

After the Qibla was changed in the second year of Hijra/624, the Prophet Muhammad (s) stood for prayer in front of this pillar for some time. Then he prayed in the current mihrab, which is known as the Prophet's mihrab, and that pillar, which was closer to the mihrab than the other pillars, was placed behind the mihrab. It was also called "al-'Alam" (sign), meaning the sign of the Prophet's mihrab and Qibla.[10] Some historians of the Prophet's life consider this pillar to be the same as the Pillar of Repentance;[11] however, al-Waqidi, based on a narration, considers them to be two separate pillars.[12]

Virtue

One of the places where prayers are fulfilled is considered to be next to the al-Mukhallaqa Pillar.[13] According to a report, Salma b. Akuaʿ, a companion and narrator of hadith of the Prophet, tried to perform his prayer near this pillar, and when they asked him the reason for it, he considered this to be the behavior of the Prophet.[14] According to Shia narrations, Imam Reza(a) came to the Prophet's grave during his Umra and prayed six or eight rak'ats near the Mukhallaqa pillar.[15] also It is recommended to bless this pillar.[16]
