'''Al-Tawba pillar'''(Means: pillar of repentance) or the '''pillar of Abū lubāba''' is one of the [[pillars of Masjid al-Nabi]] and the place of repentance of Abul Baba Ansari, a companion of the Prophet (PBUH), in the Battle of Bani Qurayzah. Feeling guilty for collaborating with the Jews of Bani Qurayzah, Abul Baba went to Masjid al-Nabi and tied himself to this pillar until his repentance was accepted. It is recommended to pray next to this pillar.
'''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.
==Location==
The Pillar of Tawba is located in [[Masjid al-Nabi]] and in the area of [[Rawza al-Nabi]],<ref>Yamānī,''Mawsūʿa makka al-mukarrama'', vol. 2, p. 423.</ref> and the distance from it to the [[Prophet's grave]] is two pillars.<ref>Ibn Zabāla, ''Akhbār al-madīna'', p. 102.</ref> This pillar is the fourth pillar from the side of the Prophet's pulpit and the third pillar from the Qiblah side.<ref>Ansārī, ''ʿImārah wa tawsiah al-masjid al-nabawīī'', p. 70.</ref> The [[Al-Qurʿa Pillar]] is located on its west side, and the door of the [[Prophet's house]], which opens into the mosque, is on the level of this pillar. For this reason, it is called Bab al-Tawbah.<ref>Qāʾidān, ''Tārīkh wa āthār-i Islāmi Makka wa Madīna'', p. 203-206.</ref>
==Abu lubaba's repentance==
{{main|Abu Lubaba al-Ansari}}
According to the famous report, after the [[Banu Qurayza]] Jews broke the agreement in the [[Ahzab Ghazwa]] and their action against the Prophet, their castles were surrounded. The Jews asked the Prophet to send his ally, Abu lubaba, to them for consultation. When Abu lubaba reached the Jews, in response to their submission to the Prophet, he pointed to his throat with his hand and told them that they would be killed if they surrendered.According to what Abu lubaba himself said, he had not yet taken a step when the feeling of betraying God and the Prophet took hold of him and to get rid of the torment of his conscience, he went to [[Masjid al-Nabi]] and tied himself to a pillar with a rope and swore that he would not allow anyone but the Prophet to remove him from that pillar.<ref>Wāqidī, ''Al-Maghāzī'', vol. 2, p. 509; Ibn Hishām, ''Al-Sīra al-nabawīyya'', vol. 4, p. 196-197; Ibn Saʿd, ''Al-Ṭabaqāt al-kubrā'', vol. 4, p. 376; Ansārī, ''ʿImārah wa tawsiah al-masjid al-nabawīī'', p. 70.</ref>

==Virtues==
According to a tradition, the Prophet prayed most of his Nafila prayers next to Al-Tawba pillar.<ref>Samhūdī, ''Wafāʾ al-wafā'', vol. 2, p. 180.</ref> It is mentioned that the Prophet sat next to this pillar after the morning prayer, and the poor and weak people sat around him, and he talked with them until sunrise and he recited for them the verses which had been revealed to him that night.<ref>Ḥalabī, ''Al-Sīra al-ḥalabiyya'', vol 2, p. 664.</ref> It is also mentioned in the sources that the Prophet would sometimes do [[I'tikaf]] next to this pillar<ref>Ḥillī, ''Kitāb al-sarāʾir'', vol.1, p. 652.</ref> and would place his bed behind the pillar of repentance.<ref>Ibn Zabāla, ''Akhbār al-madīna'', p. 102.</ref>


According to hadiths, it is recommended for pilgrims of [[Medina]] to stay in this city from Wednesday to Friday and fast and perform their prayers near Al-Tawba pillar on Wednesday.<ref>Kulaynī, ''Al-Kāfī'', vol. 4, p. 558; Ḥillī, ''Kitāb al-sarāʾir'', vol. 1, p. 652.</ref> It is also recommended to pray,<ref>Ibn al-Mashhadī, ''Al-Mazār'', p. 65.</ref> recite a supplication<ref>Ṣadūq, ''Man lā yaḥḍuruh al-faqīh'', vol. 2, p. 572.</ref> and seek blessings from this pillar.<ref>Amīnī, ''Al-Ghadīr'', vol. 5, p. 124; Subḥānī, ''Al-Zīyāra fī al-kitāb wa al-sunna'', p. 40.</ref>
