'''Salman al-Farsi Mosque''' is one of the historical mosques in Medina, located south of the [[Fath Mosque (Medina)|Fath Mosque]] and northwest of [[Mount Sela']]. The Prophet (PBUH) prayed at this site during the [[Battle of the Trench]]. The mosque is named after [[Salman al-Farsi]], one of the companions of [[Prophet Muhammad(s)], who suggested digging the trench to defend against the Quraysh army. The mosque features a courtyard and a rectangular prayer hall.


In the historical sources, another house is also mentioned in [[Medina]] next to the [[Baqīʿ cemetery]] for [[Imām ʿAlī(a)]]. There is a different opinion about whether the events after the death of the Prophet took place in the house of Fatima or in [[the second house of Imām ʿAlī(a)]].

==History==
The house of [[Fatima(a)]], which is also known as the house of Imām ʿAlī(a), was located behind the house of the Prophet(a) (the house of ʿĀʾisha).<ref>Qāʾidān, ''Tārīkh wa āthār-i Islāmi Makka wa Madīna'', p. 203; Ibn Diyāʾ al-Makkī, ''Tārīkh Makka al-musharrafa wa al-Masjid al-ḥarām'', p. 270. </ref>
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).<ref name=":6">[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Al-Madina_al-Munawwara_Tatawwuruhā_al-ʿUmrānī.pdf&page=188 Al-Madīna al-Munawwara: Tatawwuruhā al-ʿUmrānī, p. 188.]</ref> The mention of the mosque in the works of Ibn Shabba<ref name=":2" /> (who lived between 173–262 AH) indicates that the mosque existed in the 2nd century AH.   
Behind this house from the north direction, there was the [[Tahajjud pillar]]<ref> Samhudī, ''Wafāʾ al-wafā'',  p. Vol. 2, P. 47,58; Ansārī, ''Taʿmīr wa tawsiʿa masjid-i sharīf-i Nabawī'', p. 81;  Ibn Diyāʾ al-Makkī, ''Tārīkh Makka al-musharrafa wa al-Masjid al-ḥarām'', p. 270.</ref> and next to that column there was the [[Tahajjud Miḥrāb]],<ref>Samhudī, ''Wafāʾ al-wafā'',  p. Vol. 2, P. 47.</ref>   where [[Prophet Muḥammad (a)]] used to spend the night in that place and pray at night, <ref>Samhudī, ''Wafāʾ al-wafā'',  p. Vol. 2, P. 47.</ref> and now it is the north side of the prophet's.<ref>Jaʿfariyān, ''Āthār-i islāmi-yi Makka wa Madīna'', p. 219.</ref> If someone stands in the Miḥrāb of Tahjjud, [[‌‌Bāb-i Gibraʾīl]] is on his left.<ref>Samhudī, ''Wafāʾ al-wafā'', p.

This house was destroyed and now there is no trace of it. Its current location is inside the chamber and shrine of the Prophet (PBUH)[8. Jaʿfariyān, Rasūl. ‘’Āthār-i islāmi-yi Makka wa Madīna.p.203,210.Baṣīrī, ʿAlī Riḍā.

Gulwāzhihāy-i  ḥajj wa ʿumrah.p412 ]

The doors of the house
Fatima’s house had two doors: a door to the east; It means an alley and a door to the west; That is, inside the mosque and parallel to the columns of delegations and guards. [10. Qāʾidān, Aṣghar. ‘’Tārīkh wa āthār-i Islāmi Makka wa Madīna’’p203.Najmī, Muḥammad Ṣādiq. ‘’Tārīkh-i ḥarām-i aʾimma-yi Baqīʿp.152  ] The door on the west side, which opens to the mosque, was located next to Gabriel’s place (the square column of the tomb).[11. Ansārī, Nājī Muḥammad Ḥasan ʿabdu l-qādir al-. Taʿmīr wa tawsiʿa masjid-i sharīf-i nabawī.p.80,81. Samhudī, ʿAlī b. ʿAbd Allāh. ‘’Wafāʾ al-wafā  vol.2.p46,57]The door that is now known as the door of Fatima’s house on the side of Bab Gabriel is the same door that opened to the alley.[12. Qāʾidān, Aṣghar. ‘’Tārīkh wa āthār-i Islāmi Makka wa Madīna’’p.203]
Demolition of Fatima’s house and adding it to the mosque
This house was in place until the time of Walid bin Abdul Malik, the Umayyad caliph (reign: 86-96 AH). In the expansion of the mosque in the year 88 lunar year by the order of Walid and by the hand of Omar bin Abdul Aziz, the governor of the Two Holy Mosques (87-93 AH), Hassan Mushani, the son of Imam Hassan Mojtabi (a.s.), and Fatimah, the daughter of Imam Hussein (a.s.), who lived there. They were forced out of it and the house was destroyed and joined to the mosque.[13.Samhudī, ʿAlī b. ʿAbd Allāh. ‘’Wafāʾ al-wafā vol 2.p89,90]
Prophet’s cell
The Prophet’s (pbuh) room, which is also known as the honorable room, is the house where the Prophet and Aisha lived. This cell was next to the Prophet’s Mosque and next to Fatima’s house. The Prophet (PBUH) was buried in this house.
The dignity of the house of Fatima
According to a tradition, the Prophet (PBUH) used to come to the door of Fatimah’s house for forty days and put his hand on the door frame and say: “Peace be upon you, O people of the house; Peace be upon you, O Ahl al-Bayt” and then reads the verse of purification, which is about the purity of the Ahl al-Bayt from impurity. [14. Samhudī, ʿAlī b. ʿAbd Allāh. ‘’Wafāʾ al-wafā. Vol.2 p46. wāʾiẓ khargūshī, ʿAbdu  l- Malik. Sharaf al- Muṣṭafā. Vol 2.p445]
The narration of Sadwa al-Abab is also considered as one of the signs of the dignity of the house of Ali and Fatima (a.s.) and its residents. According to this narration, the Prophet (PBUH) ordered to close the doors of the houses that opened to the mosque, except the house of Ali (PBUH) and Fatima (PBUH).[15.Ḥurr al-ʿĀmilī, Muḥammad b. al-Ḥasan al-. ‘’Wasāʾil al-Shīʿa’vol 2.p205.’ Kulaynī, Muḥammad b. Yaʿqūb al-. ‘’Al-Rawḍa min al-kāfī’’vol 5p.340. Samhudī, ʿAlī b. ʿAbd Allāh. ‘’Wafāʾ al-wafā  vol 2.p63,67]
Also, based on a narration from the Prophet (PBUH), the house of Fatima is considered the best example of the houses mentioned in verse 36 of Surah Noor; There are houses in which God’s name is mentioned and the glorification of God is said in the morning and in the evening.[16.*Ṭabrisī, Faḍl b. al-Ḥasan al-. ‘’Majmaʿ al-bayān fī tafsīr al-Qurʾān’’vol7.p227 .Majlisī, Muḥammad Bāqir al-. ‘’Biḥār al-anwār’’.vol23.p325.Majlisī, Muḥammad Bāqir al-. ‘’Mir’āt al-‘uqūl’’vol5.p68]
This house is one of the places where it is believed that Hazrat Fatimah (PBUH) was buried.[17.Ṣadūq, Muḥammad b. ʿAlī al-. ‘’Man lā yaḥḍuruh al-faqīh’’vol 2.p572 .Ṭūsī, Muḥammad b. al-Ḥasan al-. ‘’Tahdhīb al-aḥkāmvol.6.p.9’’Qāʾidān, Aṣghar. ‘’Tārīkh wa āthār-i Islāmi Makka wa Madīna p.208’’]

Salman al-Farsi Mosque is one of the historical mosques in Medina, located south of the Fath Mosque and northwest of Mount Sela'. The Prophet (PBUH) prayed at this site during the Battle of the Trench. The mosque is named after Salman al-Farsi, one of the companions of [[Prophet Muhammad(s)], who suggested digging the trench to defend against the Quraysh army. The mosque features a courtyard and a rectangular prayer hall.

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. The prayer hall is rectangular with an arched roof.[4] The mosque is 8.5 meters long and 7 meters wide.[5]
