'''The Bani Unayf Mosque''' is one of the historical mosques in the city of [[Medina]], built at the location where Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) used to pray. This mosque is situated near the [[Quba Mosque]]. The Bani Unayf Mosque is also known as the Masjid Musabbih or Morning Mosque. Although it had been in ruins throughout history, it was reconstructed in the year 1442 Hijri (2021 CE).

Fakh, or Wādī Zāhir (Zahir Valley),<ref>Fāsī, '' Shifāʾ al-Gharām '', vol. 1, p. 472.
==Names==
</ref>
The reason for naming this mosque Bani Unayf is because its construction is located in the settlement area of the Bani Unayf tribe. Bani Unayf was a branch of the Bani Qilah tribe and, according to some accounts, were remnants of the 'Amaleeq. Additionally, the mosque is renowned as Masjid al-Musabbih or al-Subh(morning) Mosque due to the Prophet (PBUH) performing the Fajr (dawn) prayer there.
It is the name of an area in the north of [[Mecca]], near [[Tan'im Mosque]].
==Story ==
This place is located 4 kilometers from al-Masjid al-Ḥarām (the Sacred Mosque).
There are three narrations regarding the prayer of the prophet in this mosque:
Today, this place is referred to as “Ḥayyu al-Shuhadā’” (the Neighborhood of the Martyrs).
===first narration===
The Prophet (PBUH) performed the Fajr (dawn) prayer in the location of this mosque upon his migration to the city of [[Medina]].
===second narration===
When Imam Ali (AS) migrated from [[Mecca]] to Medina after the Prophet, the Prophet (PBUH) performed the Fajr (dawn) prayer at the location of this mosque to welcome him.
===third narration===
Prophet (PBUH), when visiting Talhah ibn Bara' [6], performed a prayer near the fortresses of the Bani Unayf tribe. The Bani Unayf tribe sprinkled water on that place so that its location would not be forgotten. After some time, they built a mosque at that location, which is the same as the Bani Unayf Mosque.
==History==
===Old Reports===
Historical records narrate the existence of this mosque in earlier centuries. Matari (673 AH) [9], Firoozabadi (729 AH) [10], Abu al-Baqa' al-Maki (854 AH) [11], Samhudi (911 AH) [12], and Abbasi [13] have spoken about this mosque. In the early 14th century, Ali ibn Musa describes this mosque as follows:


On the Harrah, near a garden known as 'Qawim,' there is a small mosque without a roof known as Musabbih. When the Prophet (PBUH) migrated to Medina, this mosque was along his route."
The Cemetery of the Martyrs of Fakh
===Reports from the 14th and 15th centuries===
In the Fakh area, there is a mountain at the foot of which lies a cemetery known as the Cemetery of the Martyrs of Fakh.(2) Jaʿfarīān, ''Āthār Islāmiyya Makkah wa Madīnah'' , p. 199-200.
Khayyari (1380 AH) states about this mosque: 'This mosque is located next to the Ghassan Warehouses, southwest of Quba. To its west, there are the forts of Musabbih and Thaniyat al-Wada', where the Prophet (PBUH) was welcomed by the people of Mecca.' [15]
The martyrs of Fakh were a group of Sādāt Ḥasanī (descendants of Imam Hasan) who were martyred in the battle against the Abbasids in the year 169 AH at this pl According to the latest contemporary sources, this cemetery is relatively spacious but has been divided into three sections due to the road. ace.(3) Ibn Khaldūn, ''Tārīkh Ibn Khaldūn'' vol. 5,p. 148.
According to the latest contemporary sources, this cemetery is relatively spacious but has been divided into three sections due to the road. Part of it is about two meters above street level, and the main section is enclosed by a courtyard wall with a gate that is always closed. It is said that the grave of Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī (the martyr of Fakh) is located within this walled enclosure.(2) Jaʿfarīān, ''Āthār Islāmiyya Makkah wa Madīnah'' , p. 199-200.


Ibrahim Ayyashi says: 'From the remnants of this mosque, I found only a mosque located on the elevation of Harrah (rock), to the south of a well that was nearby. Today, this place is known as Musabbih because the Prophet (PBUH) prayed here in the morning.' [16]
According to some reports from the year 1391 SH (2012-2013 CE), the Cemetery of the Martyrs of Fakh was destroyed and turned into a garbage dump.(4) ISNA, news code: 91090602351.


Sabagh (1420 AH) also, after quoting the location of the mosque as southwest of the Quba Mosque according to Wafa' al-Wafa, says: 'The mosque has a structure with a height of two meters and a roofless body, and inside it, there is a very small mihrab.' After explaining the reason for naming the mosque Musabbih and quoting the narration of Asim ibn Suyyad, he considers the location of the mosque as 'next to the Ghassan Warehouses on the path of the lands of Sheikh Abdulhamid Abbas (known as Abbasieh) that were famous as Qaem in the past.
The Martyr of Fakh
===Report by Engineer Kakaei in the Contemporary Era===
Ḥusayn ibn ʿAlī ibn Ḥasan al-Muthallath ibn Ḥasan al-Muthannā, son of Imam Hasan al-Mujtaba (peace be upon him), known as Ṣāḥib al-Fakh(5) Abū al-Faraj Isfahānī, '' Maqātil al-Ṭālibiyyīn '',p. 364.
In the early 15th century, this mosque faced several instances of destruction, but with the efforts of benefactors, it was reconstructed. The latest reconstruction of the Bani Unayf Mosque took place in the year 1427 Hijri (2006 CE). In this reconstruction, to preserve the mosque's location, its walls were raised to a height of one meter and 80 centimeters. Engineer Kakaei visited this mosque in the years 1413 and 1429 Hijri, taking photographs of it."
He was the leader of a revolt against the Abbasid government, which is referred to as the Incident of Fakh or the Uprising of Fakh(6) Abū al-Faraj Isfahānī, '' Maqātil al-Ṭālibiyyīn '',p. 366-367.

Also, Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣādiq (peace be upon him), while passing through this place, foretold the martyrdom of one of his Ahl al-Bayt at this location.(16) ) Abū al-Faraj Isfahānī, '' Maqātil al-Ṭālibiyyīn '',p. 367. , Muḥaddith Qumī, ''Muntahā al-Āmāl'', vol. 1, p. 261.
 
 
Sheikh Tusi, in his book Rijāl, considered Ṣāḥib al-Fakh to be among the companions of Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣādiq (peace be upon him(17) Ṭūsī, '' Rijāl al-Ṭūsī'', p. 489.
 
It is narrated that Imam Musa al-Kāẓim (peace be upon him) honored the Martyr of Fakh(18) Abū al-Faraj Isfahānī, '' Maqātil al-Ṭālibiyyīn '',p. 380.
 
Miqāt for Children
 
According to Shia jurists, based on narrations, Fakh is considered the miqāt (designated station for entering ihrām) for children.(19) Rūḥānī, '' al-Murtaqā ilā al-Fiqh al-Arqā '', vol. 2, p. 28.
In a narration, Imam Ja‘far al-Ṣādiq (peace be upon him), in response to the question of where the sewn garments of children could be removed [and where they could be made to enter ihrām], said: “My father, Imam Muhammad al-Bāqir (peace be upon him), would remove the children’s garments at Fakh and make them enter ihrām.”(20) Kulaynī, ''  al-Kāfī'', vol. 4, p. 303. , Shaykh Ṣadūq, '' Man Lā Yaḥḍuruhu al-Faqīh''  , vol. 2, p. 433.
Some jurists believe that the guardian of a child can make the child enter ihrām at one of the five designated miqāts on their behalf—by intending on their behalf and reciting the Talbiyah—but the act of removing the child’s garments and putting on the ihrām can be delayed until reaching Fakh.(21) Anṣārī, '' Maʿālim al-Dīn fī Fiqh Āl Yāsīn ''  ,vol. 1, p. 230. , Rūḥānī, '' al-Murtaqā ilā al-Fiqh al-Arqā '', vol. 2, p. 28.
 
Most Shia jurists believe that the actual ihrām for children can be performed from Fakh, serving as their designated miqāt.(22) Anṣārī, '' Mawsūʿat Aḥkām al-Aṭfāl wa Adillatuhā'' , vol. 5, p. 282.
Of course, this applies to cases other than Ḥajj al-Tamattu
 
Some contemporary jurists, such as Muhammad-Taqi Bahjat, hold that the guardian of a child can make the child enter ihrām at one of the well-known miqāts and may delay the removal of the sewn garments and putting on the ihrām until reaching Fakh.(23) Iftikhārī Golpāygānī, ''  Ārāʾ al-Marājiʿ fī al-Ḥajj ʿalā Ḍawʾ Fatāwā al-Imām al-Khomeynī. '', vol. 1, p. 34.
Sunni jurists are either opposed to this or remain silent on the matter. However, some of them say that there is no problem in delaying the ihrām of a child until reaching the Ḥaram (the Sacred Mosque) or near it(24) Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr al-Qurṭubī, '' al-Kāfī fī Fiqh Ahl al-Madīnah '',vol. 1, p. 411.
