Fath Mosque is one of the ancient mosques of Medina. The Prophet Muhammad (s) had set up his command tent for the Battle of al-Ahzab on a part of Mount Sala' where this mosque is now located, northwest of al-Masjid al-Nabawi, and he used to pray there. The mosque has existed since the first century AH, and until the second and third centuries, the Prophet's prayer spot in the mosque's courtyard was marked by a pillar.
Location
Fath Mosque is located on a section of the western slope of Mount Sala'[1]. Fath is the name of the area where the complex of Fath Mosques is situated. The most famous of these mosques, located at the highest part of the mountain slope, is Fath Mosque.[2]
Origin and Names
The location of the command tent of Prophet Muhammad (s) during the Battle of al-Aḥzāb was at the site of this mosque[3], and for this reason, this mosque has been named Masjid al-Aḥzāb. It was at this place that the Prophet asked God to defeat the "Ahzab" (confederates).[4][5]</ref> The Prophet prayed for three days, and on Wednesday, after his prayer was answered, signs of joy appeared on his face.[6] The spot where the Prophet prayed was marked by a pillar in the mosque's courtyard during the second and third centuries AH.[7]
It is narrated that the Prophet gave glad tidings of victory to the Muslims at this place, and for this reason, it was called Fath Mosque. Some also attribute the naming of the mosque to Fath (victory) to the revelation of Sura al-Fath at this location.[8] The name al-Aʿlā (the highest) for this mosque refers to its location on a high part of Mount Sala'.[5]
The Prophet's Prayer at Fath Mosque
The Prophet (s) performed the ʿaṣr prayer within the area of Fath Mosque.[9] On one of the nights of the Battle of al-Aḥzāb, the Prophet (s) stood on the high ground where Fath Mosque is located and asked for a volunteer to gather news about the enemy army. Ḥudhayfa set out for this task, and the Prophet waited for Ḥudhayfa to return.[10]
History of Construction
The initial structure of the mosque was built by Umar b. Abd al-Aziz (governor of Medina between 87-93 AH) and had one portico with three pillars.[11] The mosque building was renovated in 575 AH by Husayn b. Abi al-Hayjaʾ (who was one of the viziers of the Fatimid Caliphate of Egypt and had also made expansions in al-Masjid al-Nabi[12]). The current structure of the mosque dates back to the reconstruction of 1270 AH/1853 CE.[13] The mosque was also restored in 1411 AH, and a restoration carried out after 1430 AH/2009 CE resulted in the mosque's current appearance.[14]
Supplication of Fath Mosque
This mosque is considered one of the significant mosques for Muslims in the early Islamic centuries.[9] A supplication has been narrated for visitors to the mosque, which begins with "Lā ilāha illā Allāh al-ʿAẓīm al-Ḥalīm...."[15] In Shiʿi sources, a supplication is also narrated, and it is recommended to recite it in Fath Mosque after the tahiyyat al-masjid prayer:
Supplication of Fath Mosque
| یا صَرِیخَ الْمَکْرُوبِینَ، وَیا مُجِیبَ دَعْوَةِ الْمُضْطَرِّینَ، وَیا مُغِیْثَ الْمَهْمُومِینَ، اِکْشِفْ عَنِّی ضُرِّی وَهَمِّی وَکَرْبِی وَغَمِّی، کَما کَشَفْتَ عَنْ نَبِیِّکَ صَلَّی اللهُ عَلَیْهِ وَآلِهِ هَمَّهُ، وَکَفَیْتَهُ هَوْلَ عَدُوِّهِ، وَاکْفِنِی ما اَهَمَّنِی مِنْ أَمْرِ الدُّنْیا وَالْاَخِرَةِ، یا أَرْحَمَ الرّاحِمِینَ |
| O Helper of the distressed, O Answerer of the prayers of the helpless, O Reliever of the sorrowful, remove from me my harm, my worry, my distress, and my grief, just as You removed the worry from Your Prophet (s) and protected him from the terror of his enemy. And protect me from what concerns me in the affairs of this world and the Hereafter, O Most Merciful of the merciful.
