'''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> Samhūdī, ''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>Samhūdī, ''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>Samhūdī, ''Wafāʾ al-wafā'',  p. Vol. 2, P. 47.</ref> and now it is the north side of the prophet's.<ref>Jaʿfariyān, ''Āthār-i islāmī-yi Makka wa Madīna'', p. 219.</ref> If someone stands in the Miḥrāb of Tahjjud, [[‌‌Bāb-i Gibraʾīl]] is on his left.<ref>Samhūdī, ''Wafāʾ al-wafā'', p. Vol. 2, P. 47; 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 the of [[Maqām-i Gibraʾīl]] is on his right.<ref>Jaʿfariyān, ''Āthār-i islāmī-yi Makka wa Madīna'', p. 228-229.</ref>


This house was destroyed and now there is no trace of it. Its current location is inside the [[Prophet's(a) chamber]] and [[prophet's shrine|shrine]]<ref>Jaʿfariyān, ''Āthār-i islāmī-yi Makka wa Madīna'', p. 203,210; Baṣīrī, ''Gulwāzhihāy-i  ḥajj wa ʿumrah'', p. 412.</ref> the sum of these two is called the Holy Chamber and its area is about 240 square meters.<ref>Jaʿfariyān, ''Āthār-i islāmī-yi Makka wa Madīna'', p. 219; Baṣīrī, ''Gulwāzhihāy-i  ḥajj wa ʿumrah'', p. 412.</ref>
Ibn al-Barraj (d. 481 AH) also mentioned this mosque.<ref>Al-Muhadhdhab, Ibn al-Barraj, vol. 1, p. 283.</ref> The mosque was reconstructed in 577 AH.<ref name=":5">Bahjat al-Nufus wa al-Asrar fi Tarikh Dar Hijrat al-Nabi al-Mukhtar, Marjani, vol. 1, p. 570.</ref><ref>[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Al-Madina_al-Munawwara_Tatawwuruhā_al-ʿUmrānī.pdf&page=189 Al-Madīna al-Munawwara: Tatawwuruhā al-ʿUmrānī, p. 189.]</ref> After this reconstruction, [[Ibn Najjar]] described the mosque as being surrounded by numerous palm trees and constructed with stone and plaster.<ref name=":4" /> Some Shia sources from the 7th century AH mention prayers and visits to this mosque.<ref>Al-Mazar, Muhammad ibn Jaʿfar al-Mashhadi, p. 102.</ref><ref>Misbah al-Zaʾir, Sayyid Ibn Tawus, p. 64.</ref>


===The doors of the house===
[[Ibn Jubayr]] (d. 614 AH) described the mosque in his travelogue as being on the way to [[Mount Uhud]].<ref>Rihlat Ibn Jubayr, p. 156.</ref> The mosque is also mentioned in works from the 8th century,<ref>Rihlat Ibn Battuta, vol. 1, p. 363 / Bahjat al-Nufus wa al-Asrar fi Tarikh Dar Hijrat al-Nabi al-Mukhtar, Marjani, vol. 1, p. 570.</ref> 9th century,<ref>Al-Tuhfa al-Latifa fi Tarikh al-Madina al-Sharifa, Sakhavi, vol. 1, p. 40. / Itharat al-Targhib wa al-Tashwiq (with Ziyarat Bayt al-Maqdis by Ibn Taymiyya), Khwarizmi, vol. 2, p. 74.</ref> 10th century,<ref>[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Wafa_al-Wafa_Samhudi_Vol3.pdf&page=189 Wafāʾ al-Wafāʾ, Samhudi, vol. 3, p. 189.]</ref> and 11th century.<ref>Al-Jawahir al-Thamina fi Mahasin al-Madina, p. 135 / Al-Rihla al-ʿAyyashiyya, vol. 1, p. 392.</ref>
Fatima's house had two doors: a door to the east; that is to the alley, and a door to the west; That is, inside the mosque and parallel to the [[pillar of wufūd]] and [[pillar of Ḥirs|Ḥirs]].<ref>Qāʾidān, ''Tārīkh wa āthār-i Islāmi Makka wa Madīna'', p. 203; Najmī, ''Tārīkh-i ḥarām-i aʾimma-yi Baqīʿ'', p. 152.</ref> The door on the west side, which opens to the mosque, was located next to [[Maqām-i Gibraʾīl]] ([[The square pillar of the tomb]]).<ref> Ansārī, Taʿmīr wa tawsiʿa masjid-i sharīf-i nabawī, p. 80,81; Samhūdī, ''Wafāʾ al-wafā'', vol. 2, p. 46,57.</ref>The door that is now known as the door of Fatima's house on the side of [[‌‌Bāb-i Gibraʾīl]] is the same door that opened to the alley.<ref>Qāʾidān, Tārīkh wa āthār-i Islāmi Makka wa Madīna, p. 203.</ref>
==Demolition of Fatima's house and adding it to the mosque==
This house remained until the time of [[Walīd b. ʿAbd al-Malik]], the ʾUmayya caliph (R: 86-96 AH/705-714-5 AD). In the expansion of Masjid al-Nabī in the year 88 AH/706-7 AD by the order of Walīd and by the hand of [[ʿUmar b. ʿAbd al-ʿAziz]], the governor of [[the Two Holy Mosques]] (87-93 AH/705-6 - 711-2 AD), [[Ḥasan al-Muthannā]], the son of [[Imam Ḥasan Mujtabā(a)]], and [[Fatima, the daughter of Imam Ḥusayn(a)]], who lived there were forced out of it and the house was destroyed and then the house joined to the mosque.<ref>Samhūdī, ''Wafāʾ al-wafā'', p. Vol. 2, P. 89-90.</ref>

==Current Status==
{{Main|Prophet's room}}
Today, Salman al-Farsi Mosque remains a site of visitation and prayer for pilgrims.<ref name=":3">Athar Islami Makka wa Madina, Jaʿfariyan, p. 300.</ref> 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.<ref name=":1" /> The mosque is 8.5 meters long and 7 meters wide.<ref name=":6" />

==ّImportance of the house of Fatima==
==Historical Images==
According to a Narrative, Prophet(a) used to come to the door of Fatima's house for forty days and put his hand on the door frame and say: “اَلسَّلامُ عَلَیکُم یا اهلَ الْبَیت; Peace be upon you, Peace be upon you, O Ahl al-Bayt(people of the house)” and then reads [[the verse of Taṭhīr]] (purification), which is about the purity of the [[Ahl al-Bayt]] from impurity.<ref>Samhūdī, ''Wafāʾ al-wafā'', Vol. 2, p. 46. wāʿiẓ khargūshī, ''Sharaf al- Muṣṭafā'', Vol. 2, p. 445.</ref>

The narration of [[Saddū al-Abwāb]] is also considered as one of the signs of importance of the house of Imam ʿAlī and Fātīma(a) and its residents. According to this narration, Prophet Muḥammad ordered to close the doors of houses that opened to the mosque, except the house of ʿAlī and Fātīma(a).<ref>Ḥurr al-ʿĀmilī, ''Wasāʾil al-Shīʿa'', vol. 2, p. 205; Kulaynī, ''Al-Rawḍa min al-kāfī'', vol. 5, p. 340; Samhūdī, ''Wafāʾ al-wafā'', vol. 2, p. 63,67.</ref>

Also, based on a narration from Prophet(a), the house of Fatima is considered the best example of the houses mentioned in verse 36 of Surah al-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. <ref>Ṭabrisī, Majmaʿ al-bayān fī tafsīr al-Qurʾān vol. 7, p. 227; Majlisī, ''Biḥār al-anwār'', vol. 23, p. 325; Majlisī, ''Mirʾāt al-ʿuqūl'', vol. 5; p. 68.</ref>
