location of Al-Qurʿa Pillar

This pillar is one of the pillars of Rawza al-Nabi, which is the third pillar from the side of the prophet’s pulpit and the grave of the prophet[1] and is located next to the current mihrab. In other words, this pillar is located in the middle of the main pillars and there are two pillars between it and the prophet’s pulpit, and two pillars between it and the grave of the prophet, and two pillars between the Qibla and the current mihrab, and it is considered the third pillar on each side. It is located next to the pillar of Al-Tawba and Al-Sarīr.[2]

Al-Qurʿa Pillar, a place to overtake in prayer

The reason for this name is that Aisha narrated from the Prophet: In my mosque, near this pillar, there is a place where if people know the reward and virtue of praying there, they will draw lots to pray there.[3]

Aisha’s Pillar

It is known that because Aisha reported a narration from the Prophet about the virtue of praying next to it, it was called by this name.[4] Perhaps it is because Aisha informed about it and determined its place.[5] Some believe that this name was taken after Aisha.[6]Now above it, the word “This is the pillar of Aisha” is written.[7]

pillar of immigrants

This pillar is also known as “Immigrant pillar”; Because the Meccan immigrants used to sit next to it to talk. Hence, it was also called “Majlis of muhājirān”.[8]

pillar of Mukhalliqa

Some have mentioned it as “Mukhalliqa pillar”; Because this pillar is also perfumed with aromatic substances like the Mukhalliqa pillar.[9]

Virtue of Al-Qurʿa Pillar

According to narrations, supplication is fulfilled near this pillar.[10] It is said that some companions prayed near it.[11] Some caliphs, as well as Ibn Zubayr and his son ʿāmir, also prayed next to it.[12]
