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.
