It is said that during the [[Battle of the Trench]], the companions of [[Muhammad|the Prophet (PBUH)]] would take them to the Cave of Banu Haram at night to protect them for fear of a suprise attack, and they would descend from the cave in the morning. This mosque, which is in the form of a cave, is located approximately eight hundred meters northwest of [[Al-Masjid al-Nabawi|Al-Masjid an-Nabawi]]. A large rock serves as a roof for the cave, and a small arch is situated beside it.
