Al-Tawba pillar or the pillar of Abu lubaba is one of the pillars of Masjid al-Nabi and the place of repentance of Abul Baba Ansari, a companion of the Prophet (PBUH), in the Battle of Bani Qurayzah. Feeling guilty for collaborating with the Jews of Bani Qurayzah, Abul Baba went to Masjid al-Nabi and tied himself to this pillar until his repentance was accepted. It is recommended to pray next to this pillar.
Location
The Pillar of Tawba is located in Masjid al-Nabi and in the area of Rawza al-Nabi, and the distance from it to the Prophet's grave is two pillars. This pillar is the fourth pillar from the side of the Prophet's pulpit and the third pillar from the Qiblah side. The Al-Qurʿa Pillar is located on its west side, and the door of the Prophet's house, which opens into the mosque, is on the level of this pillar. For this reason, it is called Bab al-Tawbah.
