Al-Suqya Mosque (Arabic: مسجد السقیا) is one of the mosques in Medina, which is located in the southeast part of Medina railway station, in al-'Anbariyya neighborhood. This mosque is called al-Suqya; because it is located in the al-Suqya region near al-Suqya well. On the way to Battle of Badr, the Prophet saw his army in Suqya, did his prayer, prayed for the people of Medina, and drank water from the well of al-Suqya.

Location

Al-Suqya Mosque is located inside the fence of al-'Anbariyya railway station and in its southeast. The well of al-Suqya is located in the south of that mosque, and Tariq Makka Street separates the two (the well and the mosque).[1] Currently, al-Suqya Mosque is inside the railway station.[2]

Name

This mosque is called al-Suqya; because it is located in the al-Suqya region and near al-Suqya well.[3]

Qubbat al-Ru'us

From the 11th/16th century onwards, this mosque was also known as the Qubbat al-Ru'us.[4] According to 'Ali Hafiz, it was called Qubbat al-Ru'us because Ottoman Turks used to cut off the heads of desert bandits and put them there.[5] Al-'Ayyashi, the historian of Medina, believes that this name has a bad effect and is not worthy of this mosque.[6]

The Prophet(a) in al-Suqya

On the way from Medina to the Battle of Badr, the Prophet Muhammad(a) stopped in al-Suqya and did prayer and prayed: just as God blessed the people of Mecca after the prayer of the Prophet Abraham(a), may He also bless the people of Medina.[7] It is said that the Prophet saw his army in this place.[8] It is reported that the Prophet(a) drank water from the al-Suqya well on his way to Badr.[9]

History

Ibn Shabba considers this mosque one of the mosques where the Prophet(a) has prayed.[10] According to al-Samhudi's report, 'Umar b. 'Abd al-'Aziz built this mosque at the place of the Prophet's prayer. According to the words of al-Samhudi, quoting Abu 'Abd Allah al-Asadi, one of the historians of the first centuries, this mosque was famous as one of the historical mosques of Medina.[11]

Al-Samhudi's Report

At the time of al-Samhudi, this mosque was destroyed. He went to the place of the mosque and saw a big building stone, he ordered to dig there. After the exploration, the mihrab and the four corners of the al-Suqya Mosque appeared. Based on the decorations and carvings of the stones that were discovered, al-Samhoudi believed that this building was built during the time of 'Umar b. 'Abd al-'Aziz.[12] According to al-Samhudi's report, al-Suqya Mosque in his time, was rebuilt on its original foundations, which is a square with an area of about seven cubits by seven cubits.[13] Ahmad al-'Abbasi's report in the 11th/17th century also confirms the area of this mosque.[14] According to a report from 1073/1662-3 this mosque is located on the left side of the road leading to Medina from 'Aqiq route, in the western harra.[15]

Yasin al-Khayari's opinion

Scholars of the first and middle centuries agree that the al-Suqya Mosque is a historical mosque inside the railway station today. Yasin Al-Khayari a contemporary historian of Medina, said that the ruined building that was located next to the al-Suqya well in his time and was destroyed for the development of the road, is the al-Suqya Mosque.[16] This dilapidated building is visible in the picture he gave in his book. Muhammad 'Ilyas Abd al-Ghani, has proved the famous opinion and rejected the opinion of al-Khayari providing several reasons.[17]

Description

Al-Shanqiti describes the al-Suqya Mosque as follows, inside the buildings of the railway station, from the south, the al-Suqya Mosque can be seen, which has triple domes. The middle dome is bigger.[18]

Its mihrab is on the Qibla wall. In half of the north, east, and west walls of the building, arched and crescent-shaped windows are installed. The walls are covered with white plaster.[19]
