Wufūd pillar(Arabic: وُفُود) is the meeting place of Prophet Muhammad(a) with the representatives of the Arab tribes in Masjid al-Nabi. Wufud were representatives sent by the tribes to the grandees. The Prophet (a) also sat next to this pillar and met with the officials of the tribes, i.e. wufud. Therefore, this pillar became known as the wufud pillar. pillar of Qallāda, or Majlis Qallāda is also another name for this pillar, which means that the Companions gathered around this pllar like a Qallāda (necklace). This pillar is one of the pillars of Masjid al-Nabi, half of which is inside the Prophet's shrine.
locaton
This pillar is located parallel to the Mahras and Sarir pillars and is connected to the holy shrine of the Prophet.[1] Some have introduced it behind the Mahras pillar from the north side and the third pillar from the Qibla side.[2]
reason for naming
The Arabic word "Wafd" means a representative, and a person who is sent by an individual or a group to a great authority is called "wāfid".[3] The delegation sent by the tribes was called wafūd (plural form of wafd) and hence the mentioned pillar was called by this name.[4] After the conquest of Mecca in the 8 AH/630, delegations from far and near tribes of the Arabian Peninsula were sent to medina to announce their conversion to Islam or to sign an agreement with the Islamic State of Medina. For this reason, in the sources of biography and history, the 9AH/630-1 was known as "ʿĀm al-Wufūd".[5] Prophet Muhammad(a) used to meet these new converts next to this pillar and sit down to talk with them.[6] The names of many delegations are available in sources of biography.[7]
