The Mosque of Fash (Arabic: Masjid al-Fasḥ) is one of the ancient mosques in Medina. It is located in the southern part of Mount Uḥud, connected to the mountain, and to the north of the Cemetery of the Martyrs of Uḥud and to the south of the Cave of Uḥud, where people believe Prophet Muhammad (s) entered. The Prophet’s (s) prayer during the Battle of Uḥud is mentioned in various early sources, and contemporary researchers believe the location of the prayer corresponds to the area of this mosque. In some sources, this mosque is referred to as "Masjid Uḥud." The structure of the mosque has been partially ruined in recent centuries.

Name

Masjid Fash also known as "Fasīḥ," is referred to as "Masjid Uḥud" in some sources due to its proximity to Mount Uḥud.[1] It is also called "Masjid al-Shiʿb" (the Mosque of the Valley).[2]

ʿAli b. ʿAbd Allah al-Samhudi, a historian of the 9th century AH, reports that the name "Fasḥ" is believed to have been given because of the revelation of the "Fasḥ verse" (verse 11 of Surah al-Mujādila)Template:Note in this location, but he found no evidence to confirm this.[3]

Location

Masjid Fasḥ is located in the southern part of Mount Uḥud, connected to the mountain.[4] It is situated to the north of the Cemetery of the Martyrs of Uḥud and to the south of the Cave of Uḥud, where people believe Prophet Muhammad (s) entered.[5]

The Prophet’s Prayer

The historical background of Masjid Fasḥ dates back to the early years of Islam. The prayer of Prophet Muhammad (s) during the Battle of Uḥud is mentioned in early sources.[6] According to a report in the history of Medina by Ibn Shabba, the location of the Prophet’s prayer was a small mosque in the Uḥud region, to the right of the "Valley of Jarrār," adjacent to the mountain.[7] Some
