== | ==Location== | ||
The Arabic word " | This pillar is located parallel to the [[al-Mahras]] and [[al-Sarir]] pillars and is connected to the [[the Prophet's holy shrine]].<ref>Shurrāb, ''al-Maʿālim al-athīra'', p. 43.</ref> Some historical accounts suggest that the al-Wufud Pillar is located behind the al-Mahras Pillar on the north side and is the third pillar when viewed from the Qibla direction.<ref>Samhūdī, ''Wafāʾ al-wafā'', vol. 2, p. 185.</ref> | ||
==Name== | |||
The Arabic word "wafd" means a representative, and a person who is sent by an individual or a group to an authority is called "wafid".<ref>Ṭurayḥī, ''Majmaʿ al-baḥrayn'', vol. 4, p. 525, word: "وفد"</ref> The delegations sent by the tribes was called wafud (plural form of wafd) and hence the mentioned pillar was called by this name.<ref>Shurrāb, ''al-Maʿālim al-athīra'', p. 43.</ref> | |||
Following the [[Conquest of Mecca]] in 8/630, delegations from various Arab tribes, both near and far, journeyed to [[Medina]] to declare their conversion to [[Islam]] or to establish agreements with the newly formed Islamic State. This influx of delegations during 630-631 CE led to this period being historically recognized as the "Year of Delegations" (ʿĀm al-Wufūd).<ref>Ibn Hishām, ''al-Sīra al-Nabawīyya'', vol. 4, p. 985.</ref> | |||
Prophet Muhammad (s) would often meet with these newly converted tribespeople near the al-Wufud Pillar, engaging in discussions and welcoming them into the Islamic fold.<ref>Najjār, ''al-Durra al-thamīna'', p. 298; Maṭarī, ''al-Taʿrīf bi-mā ānasat al-hijra'', p. 31. </ref> Historical records provide detailed accounts of numerous delegations that visited Medina during this significant period.<ref>Ibn Hishām, ''al-Sīra al-Nabawīyya'', vol. 3, p. 591; vol. 4, p. 925, 964; Ibn Saʿd, ''al-Ṭabaqāt al-kubrā'', vol. 1, p. 22, 116, 164.</ref> | |||
