When the mosque was empty of worshipers, the Prophet pray at night next to this pillar Therefore, that pillar is called Tahajjud (literaly means night life). | | '''Murabba'at al-Qabr Pillar''' is one of the pillars of [[Al-Masjid al-Nabawi|Masjid al-Nabi]], which is located next to the Prophet's grave and at the door of Hazrat Fatima's house. Some people believe that because this column is located next to the square grave of the Prophet, it is called the square column of the grave. Placing this column inside the shrine is another aspect of this naming. It has also been called the pillar of Gabriel's rank; Because Gabriel descended on the Prophet in this place. This column is also called Maars column. It is recommended to pray in this place. |

| ==The location of the Tahajjud pillar==
| |
| This pillar was located behind [[Fatima's house|Fatima’s house]] and on its north side. Now there is a small mihrab<ref>Shurrāb, ''Al- maʿālim al-ʾathīra'', p. 42.</ref>which when someone stands in front of it, the pillar is placed on his left, facing the [[Bab Jibraʾīl]](the gate of Gabriel) .<ref>Najjār, ''Al-Durra al-thamīna fī akhbār al-madina'', p. 257; Yamānī, ''Mawsūʿa makka al-mukarrama wa al-madina al-munawwara'', vol. 2, p. 420.</ref> This pillar was next to the main place of Bab Jibrīl before the development of [[Masjid al-Nabī|Masjid al-Nabi]], which is now a little behind the first place. is located.<ref>Qāʾidān, ''Tārīkh wa āthār-i Islāmi Makka wa Madīna'', p.195.</ref>
| |
| Currently, it is located inside the Prophet’s shrine and on the marble stone they have placed there, they have written: “هذا متهجد النبی: This is the place where the Prophet spent the night(means keeping vigil at night for performing night prayer).”
| |
| ==The place of the Prophet’s night prayer==
| |
| 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>
