''' | '''The Prophet's Musalla''' (PBUH) was an open area located west of the [[Prophet's Mosque]], where Muhammad (PBUH) performed Eid prayers. Originally, this site served as a resting place for caravan camels and as a market in Medina, known as [[Manakhah]], before it was later called Musalla Square. | ||
In this area, three mosques were eventually constructed: the [[Mosque of Ghamama]] (also known as Masjid al-Musalla), the Mosque of Ali ibn Abi Talib, and the [[Mosque of Abu Bakr]]. It is reported that the Prophet (PBUH) performed a variety of prayers here, including the Eid prayers (Eid al-Adha and Eid al-Fitr), prayers for rain, and other significant prayers, such as the funeral prayer for the Negus of Abyssinia. | |||
