Masjid ʿUtbān b. Mālik (The Mosque of ʿUtban b. Malik) Masjid ʿUtban b. Malik is located in Medina, to the north of Masjid al-Jumuʿa (the Friday Mosque), in an open area facing it. ʿUtban b. Malik was one of the Ansar (Helpers) and companions of Prophet Muhammad (s), and he participated in the Battle of Badr. The Prophet (s) prayed in a corner of his house, and for this reason, ʿUtbān designated that area as his place of prayer.

During the development and urban renewal project in 2015 (1393 SH), the walls of Masjid ʿUtban were demolished, and the remains of the structure were preserved as a historical and tourist site.

ʿUtban b. Malik

    • ʿUtban b. Malik was one of the Ansar of the Prophet (s) from the Banī Sālim tribe of the Khazraj tribe. He was a companionTemplate:ENote of the Messenger of God (s) and participated in the Battle of Badr. He passed away in the year 50 AH.[1]

The Prophet’s Prayer in ʿUtbān’s House

Due to his inability to attend congregational prayers, ʿUtbān asked Prophet Muhammad (s) to pray in a corner of his house so that he could designate it as his prayer place, and the Prophet (s) agreed.[2]

Structure of the Mosque

Masjid ʿUtbān ibn Mālik is located to the north of Masjid al-Jumuʿa in an open area facing it.[3] Since around the 8th century AH, the location of this mosque has been identified within the fortress of Muzdalifa.[4] Muzdalifa, during the time of al-Samhūdī (d. 911 AH), was a ruined fortress to the north of Masjid al-Jumuʿa,[5] and al-ʿAbbāsī, a historian of the 10th century AH, confirms this information.[6] Al-ʿAyyāshī, in his travelogue (1073 AH/1662 CE), also found the mosque in a ruined fortress to the north of Masjid al-Jumuʿa, describing it as a small, roofless mosque.[7]

Reconstruction of the Structure

Muhammad b. Ahmad al-Mutri (d. 741 AH), a historian of Medina in the 8th century AH, described the structure as having walls that did not exceed half the height of a person.[4] According to al-Samhūdī (d. 911 AH), the structure mentioned by al-Muṭrī had disappeared by his time, and a group of non-Arabs had rebuilt and revived it in a new form. The roof of the new structure was repaired by Muḥammad ibn Qāwān after its collapse.[8] He was born in 820 AH and passed away in 889 AH, a scholar of ḥadīth and history who lived in Cairo and performed the Hajj multiple times.[9]

Aḥmad al-ʿAbbāsī, a researcher and historian of Medina, claimed that in the year 1036 AH, he discovered this mosque, which was unknown at the time, and carried out minor renovations.[10] Al-ʿAyyāshī, in his travelogue (1073 AH/1662 CE), also found the mosque as a small, roofless structure.[11]

Current Condition of the Mosque

According to Ilyās ʿAbd al-Ghanī, a researcher of Medina’s geography, Masjid ʿUtbān in the year 1417 AH (1996 CE) was an empty plot of land surrounded by a white wall.[12]

Other reports indicate that in 1393 SH (2015 CE/1435 AH), the Saudi government demolished the walls of Masjid ʿUtbān as part of a development and urban renewal project;[13] however, the underlying remains of the structure were preserved as a historical and tourist site.[14]
