The reason why this pillar is named Tahajjud is because when the mosque was empty of worshipers, the Prophet would spread a mat next to this pillar, which was located after the door of the house of Imam Ali, and would stand on it to perform prayer.<ref>Shurrāb, ''Al- maʿālim al-ʾathīra'', p. 43.</ref> [[Imam Ali]](a) also prays the night prayer here.<ref> Najjār, ''Al-Durra al-thamīna'', p. 125; Yamānī, ''Mawsūʿa makka al-mukarrama'', vol. 2, p. 420.</ref> | The reason why this pillar is named Tahajjud is because when the mosque was empty of worshipers, the Prophet would spread a mat next to this pillar, which was located after the door of the house of Imam Ali, and would stand on it to perform prayer.<ref>Shurrāb, ''Al- maʿālim al-ʾathīra'', p. 43.</ref> [[Imam Ali]](a) also prays the night prayer here.<ref> Najjār, ''Al-Durra al-thamīna'', p. 125; Yamānī, ''Mawsūʿa makka al-mukarrama'', vol. 2, p. 420.</ref> | ||
Following the imitation of some Muslims from the prophet, he removed the mat and in response to those who asked the reason for this, he said: I was afraid that the night prayer would become obligatory on you and you would not be able to do it.<ref>Samhūdī, ''Wafāʾ al-wafā'', vol. 2, p. 187.</ref> Ibn Najjar and Matari from This place has been referred to as “مصلّی النّبی صلّی الله علیه و آله باللّیل: the night prayer place of the Prophet”. In the following centuries, an altar was built in that place.<ref>Samhūdī, ''Wafāʾ al-wafā'', vol. 2, p. 189; Shurrāb, ''Al- maʿālim al-ʾathīra'', p. 43.</ref> | Following the imitation of some Muslims from the prophet, he removed the mat and in response to those who asked the reason for this, he said: I was afraid that the night prayer would become obligatory on you and you would not be able to do it.<ref>Samhūdī, ''Wafāʾ al-wafā'', vol. 2, p. 187.</ref> Ibn Najjar and Matari from This place has been referred to as “مصلّی النّبی صلّی الله علیه و آله باللّیل: the night prayer place of the Prophet”.
