The story of the mosque
| image link =
The Prophet (pbuh) prayed two rakats in this mosque. The prostration of the Prophet (PBUH) in the second rak’at was so long that the companions thought that he had passed away. When he got up from prostration, he said: Gabriel came to me and said: Whoever from your nation sends blessings upon you, God sends blessings upon him. I prostrated for gratitude. [2. Samhudī, ʿAlī b. ʿAbd Allāh. ‘’Wafāʾ al-wafāvol.3p209.210]

This mosque has been called by different names. Because of the prostration of the Prophet, which was mentioned above, it is called the Mosque of Sajdah or the Mosque of Sugar. Because it was next to Bostan Al-Buhairi, it was called Al-Bahir Mosque or Al-Bahiri, and because it was close to the Aswaf grove or on the way to Al-Safalah Gardens, it was also called the Aswaf Mosque or Salafa Mosque.[3. ʿAbdu-l Ghanī, Muḥammad ʾIlyās.Al-Masājid al-Atharīyya. p92,93]
