'''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.

==History== 
Salman al-Farsi Mosque is one of the oldest mosques in [[Medina]].

### Construction of the Mosque 
File:غغب.jpg|alt=
According to narrations, during the early days of Islam, some members of the Banī Ḥarām and [[Banī Salama]] tribes complained to [[Prophet Muhammad (s)]] about their living conditions. The Prophet (s) guided them to settle in the western part of [[Mount Silaʿ]], and they did so.<ref>[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=%D9%BE%D8%B1%D9%88%D9%86%D8%AF%D9%87%3A%D8%AA%D8%A7%D8%B1%DB%8C%D8%AE_%D9%85%D8%AF%DB%8C%D9%86%D9%87_%D8%A7%D8%A8%D9%86_%D8%B4%D8%A8%D9%87.pdf&page=78 Tārīkh al-Madīna al-Munawwara, Ibn Shabba, p. 78.]</ref> After relocating, the Banī Ḥarām tribe built this mosque, which was later restored by [[ʿUmar ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz]].<ref name=":3">Maʿālim al-Madīna al-Munawwara bayn al-Miʿmāra wa al-Tārīkh, part 4, vol. 4, pp. 232–234.</ref><ref name=":0" /> It is reported that the Prophet (s) prayed in this mosque.<ref name=":1">[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=%D9%BE%D8%B1%D9%88%D9%86%D8%AF%D9%87%3A%D9%88%D9%81%D8%A7%D8%A1_%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%88%D9%81%D8%A7%D8%A1_%D8%B3%D9%85%D9%87%D9%88%D8%AF%DB%8C_%D8%AC%DB%B3.pdf&page=214][https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=%D9%BE%D8%B1%D9%88%D9%86%D8%AF%D9%87%3A%D9%88%D9%81%D8%A7%D8%A1_%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%88%D9%81%D8%A7%D8%A1_%D8%B3%D9%85%D9%87%D9%88%D8%AF%DB%8C_%D8%AC%DB%B3.pdf&page=191 Wafāʾ al-Wafā, vol. 3, p. 191.]</ref><ref>[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=%D9%BE%D8%B1%D9%88%D9%86%D8%AF%D9%87%3A%D8%A7%D8%AE%D8%A8%D8%A7%D8%B1_%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%AF%DB%8C%D9%86%D9%87_%D8%A7%D8%A8%D9%86_%D8%B2%D8%A8%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%87.pdf&page=146 Akhbār al-Madīna, Ibn Zabāla, p. 146.]</ref> However, some believe the relocation of this tribe and the construction of the mosque occurred during the caliphate of [[ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb]].<ref>[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=%D9%BE%D8%B1%D9%88%D9%86%D8%AF%D9%87%3A%D9%88%D9%81%D8%A7%D8%A1_%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%88%D9%81%D8%A7%D8%A1_%D8%B3%D9%85%D9%87%D9%88%D8%AF%DB%8C_%D8%AC%DB%B3.pdf&page=191 Wafāʾ al-Wafā, vol. 3, p. 191.]</ref>

### History of the Structure  
The mosque was in ruins by the 9th century AH, and according to [[ʿAlī ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Samhūdī]], a historian of Medina, only its foundations and some columns remained.<ref>[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=%D9%BE%D8%B1%D9%88%D9%86%D8%AF%D9%87%3A%D9%88%D9%81%D8%A7%D8%A1_%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%88%D9%81%D8%A7%D8%A1_%D8%B3%D9%85%D9%87%D9%88%D8%AF%DB%8C_%D8%AC%DB%B3.pdf&page=191 Wafāʾ al-Wafā, vol. 3, p. 191.]</ref> However, Shams al-Dīn al-Sakhāwī (d. 906 AH), another historian of Medina, reported its restoration during the same century.<ref>[https://noorlib.ir/book/view/10094/%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%AA%D8%AD%D9%81%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%84%D8%B7%D9%8A%D9%81%D8%A9-%D9%81%D9%8A-%D8%AA%D8%A7%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%AE-%D8%A7%D9%84%D9%85%D8%AF%D9%8A%D9%86%D8%A9-%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B4%D8%B1%D9%8A%D9%81%D8%A9?pageNumber=39&viewType=pdf Al-Tuḥfa al-Laṭīfa fī Tārīkh al-Madīna al-Sharīfa, vol. 1, p. 39.]</ref> Abū Sālim al-ʿAyyāshī, in his travelogue from 1073 AH, mentioned the mosque but described it as ruined.<ref>Travelogue of al-ʿAyyāshī.</ref>
 
According to Ibrāhīm al-ʿAyyāshī (d. 1388 AH), a philanthropist from Medina restored the mosque, which had been in ruins until then, under his guidance.<ref>[https://wikihaj.com/index.php?title=%D9%BE%D8%B1%D9%88%D9%86%D8%AF%D9%87%3A%D9%85%D8%B3%D8%A7%D8%AC%D8%AF_%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%A7%D8%AB%D8%B1%DB%8C%D9%87.pdf&page=48 Al-Masājid al-Athariyya, p. 48.]</ref> In 1400 AH (1979 CE), it was restored again by the Saudi government.<ref>Maʿālim al-Madīna al-Munawwara bayn al-Miʿmāra wa al-Tārīkh, part 4, vol. 4, pp. 235–239.</ref> In 1410 AH (1990 CE), the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Endowments completely rebuilt the mosque after demolishing the old structure. During this restoration, the mosque was given a minaret and a dome,<ref name=":3" /> which, based on available images, was sometimes painted green.<ref>[https://www.google.com/maps/place/%D9%85%D8%B3%D8%AC%D8%AF+%D8%A8%D9%86%DB%8C+%D8%AD%D8%B1%D8%A7%D9%85%E2%80%AD/@24.4732044,39.5972429,3a,75y,90t/data=!3m8!1e2!3m6!1sAF1QipMDMYF4oEhu3qJXrVQHSeZItsteVOfFO1SzGLGy!2e10!3e12!6shttps:%2F%2Flh5.googleusercontent.com%2Fp%2FAF1QipMDMYF4oEhu3qJXrVQHSeZItsteVOfFO1SzGLGy%3Dw203-h152-k-no!7i4032!8i3024!4m12!1m2!2m1!1z2YXYs9is2K8g2YLYqNmE2KrbjNmG!3m8!1s0x15bdbf1c5a0ffe81:0x924f98d4755089c8!8m2!3d24.4732044!4d39.5972429!10e5!14m1!1BCgIgAQ!16s%2Fg%2F12mb3c8px?hl=fa&entry=ttu&g_ep=EgoyMDI0MDkxMS4wIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D Google Maps, Exclusive Images of Masjid Banī Ḥarām].</ref>

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]
