Murabba'at al-Qabr Pillar is one of the pillars of Masjid al-Nabi, which is located next to the Prophet's grave and at the door of Fatima's house. Some people believe that because this pillar is located next to the square grave of the Prophet, it is called Murabba'at al-Qabr Pillar of the grave. Placing this pillar inside the shrine is another reason of this naming. It has also been called the pillar of Maqam Jibra'il; Because Gabriel descended on the Prophet in this place. This pillar is also called Ma'ras pillar. It is recommended to pray in this place.
The place of Murabba'at al-Qabr Pillar
This pillar is located next to the entrance door of Fatima's house and in the row of Wufud and Mahras pillars[1] and now it is located inside the shrine and at the end of the northern side of the house of the prophet and is not visible to pilgrims.[2] According to sources, this pillar was outside the shrine and accessible to pilgrims until the mosque was developed by Qaytbay (d. 887 AH/ 1482-3). But in this period, despite the protest of the scholars, it was placed inside the shrine. [3]
