The Mosque of Fash (Arabic: Masjid al-Fasḥ) is one of the ancient mosques in [[Medina]]. It is located in the southern part of [[Mount Uhud]], connected to the mountain, and to the north of the [[Cemetery of the Martyrs of Uḥud]] and to the south of the [[Cave of Uhud]], where people believe [[Prophet Muhammad (s)]] entered. The Prophet’s (s) prayer during the [[Battle of Uhud]] is mentioned in various early sources, and contemporary researchers believe the location of the prayer corresponds to the area of this mosque. In some sources, this mosque is referred to as "Masjid Uḥud." The structure of the mosque has been partially ruined in recent centuries. | |||
