This mosque was located east of Masjid al-Fadhikh and south of the Prophet’s Mosque and has now disappeared. the Prophet of Islam (PBUH) performed prayer within the area of this mosque during the Battle of Bani Qurayzah. The original structure of the mosque was built in the late first Islamic century and it was rebuilt several times until 1409 AH, and was completely demolished in 1422 AH / 2002 CE.
Name and Location
Bani Qurayzah Mosque was located east of Masjid al-Fadhikh and southeast of Al-Masjid an-Nabawi. This mosque is also known as the Mosque of the Battle of Bani Qurayzah.[1] The mosque’s area is the same place where the Prophet (PBUH) pitched his tent during the siege of Bani Qurayzah.[2]
Prayer of the Prophet (PBUH)
The Prophet (PBUH) prayed within the area of this mosque during the Battle of Bani Qurayzah. It is said that originally this was the house of a woman in which the Prophet (PBUH) prayed, and then the house was incorporated into the mosque’s building.[1] Umar Ibn Shibba, the author of the book Tarikh al-Madina al-Munawwara (d. 263 AH) identified the place of the Prophet’s prayer to be east of the mosque, at the site of the mosque’s ruined minaret.[3]
History of the Building
There is a report indicating that the Bani Qurayzah Mosque was built during the caliphate of Walid ibn Abd al-Malik (86 to 96 AH).[1] Muhammad ibn Najjar, historian of Medina (d. 643 AH / 1245 CE), described the mosque in the 7th century as being 10 meters in length, situated amid gardens and farms, and having a visual similarity to Masjid Quba. At that time, the mosque had no roof and its walls were ruined; it contained 16 columns some of which had collapsed.[4]
According to Matri, a scholar of Medina (d. 741 AH), by the late 7th century, the mosque had fully disappeared, and in 710 AH its walls were rebuilt.[5] A report from 766 AH mentions the existence of a mosque described as a large mosque.[6] Samhudi in the late 9th century reported a reconstruction of the mosque in 893 AH.[7] The mosque is also mentioned in 10th-century sources.[8]
According to some reports, the mosque was rebuilt during the Ottoman period (around 1266 AH / 1850 CE) and maintained Ottoman architectural style until 1400 AH.[9] However, it was completely demolished in 1422 AH / 2002 CE.[10]
Characteristics of the Mosque Before Demolition
On the 14th of Rabi' al-Awwal 1418 AH, this mosque, which was built of black basalt stone, had a corridor (riwāq) and a courtyard (ṣaḥn). The corridor was divided into five empty spaces, each covered with a round dome. The mosque building was square in shape and its area was 484 square meters.[9]
