'''Pillars of the Masjid al-Nabi''' are the large number of pillars that some of them, like the pillar of Repentance, Tahajjud, Hars, and Compassion, existed in the original structure of the mosque during the time of the [[Prophet Muhammad (s)]], and for this reason, they are of great significance to Muslims. Although [[Masjid al-Nabī|the Mosque of the Prophet]] has been rebuilt several times, the placement of these pillars has not changed in the mosque's reconstructions. These pillars were last rebuilt and distinguished from the other pillars of the mosque during the reign of Abdulmajid I, the Ottoman Sultan, with a change in color.

==The history of the pillars==
| title = Salman al-Farsi Mosque
Initially, six pillars made from the trunks of date palms supported the roof of [[Al-Masjid al-Nabawi|the Masjid al-Nabi]], which was constructed from palm branches and leaves.<ref>Qarachānlū, ''Ḥaramayn-I sharīfayn'', p. 129; Samhūdī, '' Wafāʾ al-wafā bi akhbār dar al-Muṣṭafā'', vol. 1, p. 267; Yamānī, ''Mawsūʿa makka al-mukarrama wa al-madina al-munawwara'' , vol. 1, p. 246.</ref>
| image =سلمان.jpg
In the second reconstruction, the number of pillars increased, forming two or three rows, with six pillars in each row.<ref>Yamānī, ''Mawsūʿa makka al-mukarrama wa al-madina al-munawwara'' , vol. 2, p. 346.</ref>
| image size =
In the seventh reconstruction, the mosque expanded, and the number of pillars increased. The pillars in each row increased from six to nine.<ref>Anṣārī, '' al-. ʿImārah wa tawsiah al-masjid al-nabawīī al-sharīf ʿabar tārīkh'', p. 54.</ref>
| image link =
In subsequent expansions, the pillars of the mosque continued to increase. In recent developments, the pillars of this mosque have reached 2104 pillars.<ref>Yamānī, ''Mawsūʿa makka al-mukarrama wa al-madina al-munawwara'' , vol. 2, p. 353.</ref>

In the mosque's expansions, the principle was to ensure that the location of the pillars did not change despite changing the material of the pillars.<ref>ʿAṭṭār, ''Al-Taʿrīf bi tārīkh wa maʿālim al-masjid al-nabawīī al-sharīf'' , p. 169. , Qarachānlū, ''Ḥaramayn-I sharīfayn'', p. 131.</ref>
| place = [[Saudi Arabia]] * [[Medina]] * Near the [[Fath Mosque]] and at the edge of Mount Sela'
Since the reign of Malik Zaher, the Mamluk Sultan of Egypt, some of the pillars were placed inside [[the Prophet's Chamber]] or amidst the latticed walls of the Chamber.<ref>Samhūdī, '' Wafāʾ al-wafā bi akhbār dar al-Muṣṭafā'', vol. 1, p. 268.</ref>
| usage = Mosque
The last time these pillars were reconstructed was during the reign of Sultan Abdulmajid I of the Ottoman Empire. Since then, until today, along with other components of the southern section of the mosque, they have remained unchanged.<ref>Anṣārī, '' al-. ʿImārah wa tawsiah al-masjid al-nabawīī al-sharīf  ʿabar tārīkh'', p. 68.</ref>

'''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.   


==The blessed and sacred pillars of Masjid al-Nabi==
==Name and Location==
There are several old pillars whose count varies, and among Muslims, they hold a distinguished position due to an event or memory from the time of the Prophet Muhammad (s). Praying beside each of these pillars is considered highly virtuous.
Salman al-Farsi Mosque is located south of the [[Fath Mosque]] and northwest of the slopes of [[Mount Sela']].<ref name=":0">[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=File:Masajid_al-Athariya.pdf&page=143 Masājid al-Athariya, ʿAbd al-Ghanī, p. 143.]</ref> 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.<ref name=":0" />
===The pillar of Imam Ali (Haras)===
{{main|Haras pillar}}
"This pillar, also known as the 'Haras' or 'Muharras' pillar, is now located within the wall of [[the Prophet's Chamber]]. It originally stood in front of [[Aisha's house]]. It is named 'Haras' because [[Imam Ali (a)]] used to sit beside this pillar and stand guard over the Prophet (s) at night. It is also reported that Imam Ali (a) used to perform his prayers at this location.<ref>Samhūdī, '' Wafāʾ al-wafā bi akhbār dar al-Muṣṭafā'', vol. 2, p. 179; Anṣārī, '' ʿImārah wa tawsiah al-masjid al-nabawīī al-sharīf  ʿabar  tārīkh'', p. 70; ʿAṭṭār, ''Al-Taʿrīf  bi tārīkh wa maʿālim al-masjid al-nabawīī al-sharīf'' , p. 182.</ref>

{{Main|Al-Tawba pillar}}

The fourth pillar from the [[pulpit]] and the second pillar from [[the grave]], the third pillar from the [[qibla]], relates to the incident of Abu Lubabah's repentance during [[the Battle of Banu Qurayzah]]. Hence, it is named the pillar of Repentance or the pillar of Abu Lubabah.<ref>Samhūdī, '' Wafāʾ al-wafā bi akhbār dar al-Muṣṭafā'', vol. 2, p. 179; Anṣārī, ''ʿImārah wa tawsiah al-masjid al-nabawīī al-sharīf  ʿabar  tārīkh'', p. 70.</ref>

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]
