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.
