'''Masjid al-Bay'ah''' (Bay'ah Mosque) is an ancient mosque in the city of [[Mecca]], dating back to the 2nd century AH. This mosque is located near [[Jamaras|Jamarat al-Aqaba]] and outside the legal boundary of [[Mina]]. It is the place where the people of [[Yathrib]] pledged allegiance to the Prophet (s).
Multazam "committed" or "dedicated or "obliged"
Multazam  is a part of the eastern wall of the Kaaba, located between the door of the Kaaba and the Black Stone (Hajar al-Aswad). According to narrations, this place is where sins are confessed, and prayers are answered. The Holy Prophet (PBUH) placed his face and hands on this part of the wall and prayed.


According to an inscription on the western wall of Masjid al-Bay'ah, the mosque was built in 144 AH/761-2 by the order of [[Mansur Abbasi]] and was later renovated several times.
According to narrations, when Prophet Adam (AS) circumambulated the Kaaba, he confessed his sins at the Multazam, and from then on, this place became a site for the acceptance of prayers by God.


==Naming==
"A place for confessing sins"
When the people of Yathrib ([[Medina]]) became acquainted with Islam, during the days of Hajj, at the [[Jamaras|Jamarat al-Aqabah]], they pledged allegiance to [[Prophet Muhammad (s)|the prophet(s)]] for the first time. After that, Islam spread in Medina. At the site of this event, which is known as [[the First Pledge of Aqabah]], a mosque was built that became famous as "Masjid al-Bay'ah" (Mosque of the Pledge).<ref>Jaʿfariyān, ''Āthār-i islāmi-yi Makka wa Madīna'', p. 169.</ref>
A part of the eastern wall of the Kaaba is called Multazam. This section is located between the Black Stone (Hajar al-Aswad) and the door of the Kaaba.(1) Fāsī, " Al-ʿAqd al-Thamīn fī Tārīkh al-Balad al-Amīn", vol. 1, p. 242. , Ṣafīrūshānī, "Makkah dar Bistar Tārīkh", p. 99.
In sources, other mosques are also referred to by the name Masjid al-Bay'ah:
*[[Masjid al-Ghanam]], a mosque in Mecca, which was the place where the people of Mecca pledged allegiance to the Prophet (s).<ref> Azraqī,''Akhbār Makka wa mā jāʾa fīhā min al-āthār'', vol. 2, p. 201-271; Qāʾidān, '' Tārīkh wa āthār-i Islāmī-yi Makka wa Madīna'', p. 106.</ref>
*[[Masjid al-Jinn]], a mosque in Mecca, which is the place where the jinn pledged allegiance to the Prophet (s).<ref> Azraqī,''Akhbār Makka wa mā jāʾa fīhā min al-āthār'', vol. 2, p. 201;  Ibn Ḍiyāʾ Ḥanafī , ''Tārīkh Makkah al-Mukarrama wa al-Masjid al-Ḥarām wa al-Madīna al-Sharīfa wa al-Qabr al-Sharīf'', p. 181.</ref>
==Location==
Masjid al-Bay'ah is in [[Mecca]], near the Jamarat al-Aqabah [outside the legal boundary of Mina from the Mecca side], on the southern slope of [[Mount Thubayr]]. This area is known as [[Sha'b al-Ansar]] and [[Sha'b al-Bay'ah]].<ref>Azraqī,''Akhbār Makka wa mā jāʾa fīhā min al-āthār'', vol. 1, p. 303; Ḥārithī , ''Al-Muʿjam al-Āthārī li-Manṭiqat Makkah al-Mukarrama'', p. 177; Bakr, ''Ashhar al-Masājid fī al-Islām'', p. 168.</ref> and it is on the left side of someone who is traveling from Mecca towards [[Mina]]. The distance from Masjid al-Bay'ah to [[Jamaras|Jamarat al-Aqabah]] is more than three hundred meters.<ref>Ibn Ḍiyāʾ Ḥanafī , ''Tārīkh Makkah al-Mukarrama wa al-Masjid al-Ḥarām wa al-Madīna al-Sharīfa wa al-Qabr al-Sharīf'', p. 181; Ibn Fahd, '' Ithāf al-Warā bi-ʾAkhbār Umm al-Qurā'', vol. 2, p. 180.</ref>
Nowadays, with the development of Mina, the area around Masjid al-Bay'ah, which was previously within the valley and enclosed by mountains, has been cleared. Currently, the mosque is located at the end of the exit path of the second level of the Jamarat towards Mecca, and an iron fence has been placed around the mosque.<ref>Bakr, ''Ashhar al-Masājid fī al-Islām'', p. 169-171; Jaʿfariyān, ''Āthār-i islāmi-yi Makka wa Madīna'', p. 169.</ref>
The area of Masjid al-Bay'ah is 500 square meters. The mosque is rectangular in shape, with a length of 27.90 meters and a width of 17 meters. It is constructed of stone and brick and has no roof.<ref>Barakātī, '' Dirāsah Tārīkhiyya li-Masājid al-Mashāʿir al-Muqaddasah: Masjid al-Khayf - Masjid al-Bayʿah bi-Minā'', p. 232.</ref>
==History of the Construction==
According to an inscription from the year 144 AH, which is still preserved and installed on the western wall of the mosque, the construction of this mosque was commissioned by Abu Ja'far al-Mansur Abbasid (R: 136-158 AH/753-775).<ref>Al-Ḥārithī ,'' Al-ʾĀthār al-Islāmiyya Makkah al-Mukarrama'', p. 217-218.</ref>
Additionally, an inscription from the year 629 AH/1231-2 is also installed on the southern wall of the mosque, which reports the restoration of the mosque during the time of al-Mustansir Abbasid (R: 623-640 AH/1226-1243).<ref>Kurdī, '' Al-Tārīkh al-Qawīm li-Makkah wa Bayt Allāh al- Karīm'', vol. 6, p. 28.</ref>
Other sources also mention Masjid al-Bay'ah throughout various centuries; for instance, [[Ibn Jubayr]] referred to it during his journey to Mecca in the year 578 AH/1182-3.<ref>Ibn Jubayr, ''  Al-Tadhkira bi-l-ʾAkhbār ʿan Ittifāqāt al-Asfār'', p. 123.</ref>
[[Ibn Taymiyyah]] (d. 728 AH/1327-8) also mentioned the existence of the mosque.<ref>Ibn Taymiyya, '' Iqtiḍāʾ al-Ṣirāṭ al-Mustaqīm li-Mukhālafat Aṣḥāb al-Jaḥīm '', p. 426.</ref>
[[Al-Fasi]] (d. 832 AH/1428-9), the historian of Mecca, described the mosque. According to him, the mosque had two porticoes, each with three domes resting on four archways. Behind these porticoes, there was also an open area.<ref>Fāsī al-Makkī, ''Shifāʾ al-gharām bi akhbār al-balad al-ḥarām'',vol. 1, p. 348.</ref>
The mosque was also destroyed at various times throughout history; for instance, a report from the 11th century mentions the destruction of the mosque.<ref>Jaʿfariyān, ''Jawāhir al-tārīkh al-makkī'', p. 263.</ref>
However, during the Ottoman era, the mosque was rebuilt during the reign of Sultan Abdul Hamid II (1876-1909 CE).<ref>Gāzī,'' Ifādat al-anām'',vol. 2, p. 49.</ref>
There is also a report of repairs to parts of the mosque during the reign of King Fahd of Saudi Arabia.<ref>Barakātī, '' Dirāsah Tārīkhiyya li-Masājid al-Mashāʿir al-Muqaddasah: Masjid al-Khayf - Masjid al-Bayʿah bi-Minā'', p. 232.</ref>
