At the time of Samhūdī, this mosque was destroyed. He went to the place of the mosque and seeing a big building stone, he ordered to dig there. After the exploration, the mihrab and the four corners of the Saqqah Mosque appeared. Based on the decorations and carvings of the stones that were discovered, Samhoudi believed that this building was built during the time of [[ʿUmar b. ʿAbd al-ʿazīz]]. [12. amhudī, ʿAlī b. ʿAbd Allāh. ‘’Wafāʾ al-wafā vol3.p200.] According to Samhoudi’s report, the Saqqia Mosque in his time, on its original foundations, which is a square with an area of about seven cubits by seven It was a cubit, it was rebuilt.[13. amhudī, ʿAlī b. ʿAbd Allāh. ‘’Wafāʾ al-wafā vol3.p200] Ahmad Abbasi’s report in the 11th century also confirms the area of this mosque.[14 Abbāsī, Aḥmad b. ʿAbd al-Ḥamīd.ʿUmdat al-akhbārp.189. ]
