Hajj of the Prophets is the report of the Islamic narratives of performing hajj of the  Prophets from Adam to Muhammad (pbuh).According to some hadiths, all the prophets have performed Hajj and some of them have been specially clarified to perform Hajj. According to Islamic traditions, prophet Adam first built the Kaaba and performed Hajj with the help of Gabriel, and the other prophets performed Hajj after him. The Kaaba was destroyed by the flood of Noah, but the prophets after Noah used to perform Hajj without knowing the exact location of the Kaaba until Prophet Abraham rebuilt the Kaaba. Moses, Jesus, solomon, David, Khidr, Jonah and Elijah are among the prophets whose presence in Mecca for Hajj is mentioned in Islamic narratives.

==Hajj of all the prophets in hadiths without mentioning their names==
==Notes==
{{Notes}} 


Some hadiths have reported about the Hajj of the Prophets without mentioning their names. According to some reports, all the prophets except Hud and Saleh did not succeed in performing Hajj because they were engaged in preaching. The rest of them performed Hajj.<ref>Ibn Isḥāq, ''Al-Sīyar wa al-maghāzī'', vol. 2, p, 73; Bayhaqī, ''Sunan al-kubrā'', vol. 5, p. 177; Ibn Kathīr, ''Al-Sīra al-nabawīyya'', vol. 1, p. 272.</ref> But this view is considered weak.<ref>Ṣāliḥī Shāmī, Subul al-hudā, vol. 1, p. 210.</ref> In addition, in some hadiths, Hud and Saleh have been explicitly mentioned <ref>Aḥmad bin Ḥanbal, Musnad Aḥmad bin Ḥanbal, vol. 1, p. 232; Ibn Kathīr, ''Al-Bidāya wa l-nihāya'', vol. 1, p. 138; Haythamī, 'Majmaʿ al-zawāʾid, vol. 3, p. 220. .</ref> and it has even been said that They died in Mecca and were buried near the Kaaba.<ref>Al-Arzaqī, ''Akhbār-i Makkih'', vol. 1, p. 68</ref> Therefore, all the prophets performed Hajj. Some narrations quoted from Shia imams also confirm this point of view;<ref>Ṣadūq, ''ʿUyūn akhbār al-Riḍā'', vol. 2, p. 127; Ṣadūq,ʿIlal al-sharāʾiʿ, vol. 1, p. 274.</ref> as Imam Ali (a.s.) has said in a speech that the Kaaba is the place of many prophets from Adam to the end of the world.<ref>Sayyid Raḍī, ''Nahj al-balāgha'', kh. 192.</ref>

Name and Location

Salman al-Farsi Mosque is located south of the Fath Mosque and northwest of the slopes of Mount Sela'.[1] It is said that the mosque was named after Salman al-Farsi, a companion of the Prophet (PBUH), who played a key role in the Battle of the Trench by proposing the idea of digging the trench.[1]

The Prophet's Prayer

Salman al-Farsi Mosque is one of the Fath Mosques. According to narrations, the Prophet (PBUH) prayed at the Fath Mosque and its surrounding mosques.[2] Ibn Shabba reports that during the Battle of the Trench, the Prophet prayed at the base of Mount Sela' and then ascended the mountain to supplicate.[3] Researchers believe this site to be the same as Salman al-Farsi Mosque.[4]

History

Salman al-Farsi Mosque is one of the oldest mosques in Medina. Some scholars suggest that it was likely built during the governorship of Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz over Medina (87–101 AH).[5] The mention of the mosque in the works of Ibn Shabba[3] (who lived between 173–262 AH) indicates that the mosque existed in the 2nd century AH.

Ibn al-Barraj (d. 481 AH) also mentioned this mosque.[6] The mosque was reconstructed in 577 AH.[7][8] After this reconstruction, Ibn Najjar described the mosque as being surrounded by numerous palm trees and constructed with stone and plaster.[2] Some Shia sources from the 7th century AH mention prayers and visits to this mosque.[9][10]

Ibn Jubayr (d. 614 AH) described the mosque in his travelogue as being on the way to Mount Uhud.[11] The mosque is also mentioned in works from the 8th century,[12] 9th century,[13] 10th century,[14] and 11th century.[15]

Current Status

Today, Salman al-Farsi Mosque remains a site of visitation and prayer for pilgrims.[16] The mosque features a covered prayer hall in the southern part (qibla side) and a courtyard in the northern section.
