| '''Suqyā Mosque'''(Arabic: مسجد السقیا) is one of the mosques in [[Medina]], which is located in the southeast part of Medina railway station, in ʿAnbarīyya neighborhood. This mosque is called Suqyā; Because it is located in the Suqyā region and near the Suqyā well. On the way to [[Badr]], the Prophet saw his army in Suqyā, did his prayer, prayed for the people of [[Medina]] and drank water from the well of Suqyā.
| | Prostrate mosque |
| | | The Sajdah Mosque is one of the old mosques in the city of Medina, which was built in the prayer place of the Prophet (PBUH). This mosque is located in the north of Masjid al-Nabi and the intersection of Abu Dhar Street and Al Matar Street. This mosque is also known as Al-Buhair Mosque, Abu Dhar Mosque and Aswaf Mosque. |
| ==Location==
| | Place |
| Suqyā Mosque is located inside the fence of ʿAnbarīyya railway station and in its southeast. The well of Suqyā is located in the south of that mosque, and Tariq Makka Street separates the two(the well and the mosque).<ref>Anṣārī, ''Āthār al-madīna al-munawwara'', p. 136.</ref> Currently, the Suqyā Mosque is located inside the railway station.<ref>Jaʿfariyān, ''Āthār-i islāmi-yi Makka wa Madīna'', p. 367.</ref>
| | This mosque is located 900 meters north of Masjid al-Nabi at the intersection of Abu Dhar Street and Al Matar Street.[1. ʿAbdu-l Ghanī, Muḥammad ʾIlyās. Al-Masājid al-Atharīyya. P 93] |
| | | The story of the mosque |
| ==Reason for the naming==
| | The Prophet (pbuh) prayed two rakats in this mosque. The prostration of the Prophet (PBUH) in the second rak’at was so long that the companions thought that he had passed away. When he got up from prostration, he said: Gabriel came to me and said: Whoever from your nation sends blessings upon you, God sends blessings upon him. I prostrated for gratitude. [2. Samhudī, ʿAlī b. ʿAbd Allāh. ‘’Wafāʾ al-wafāvol.3p209.210] |
| This mosque is called Suqyā; Because it is located in the Suqyā region and near the Suqyā well.<ref>Abdu-l Ghanī, ''Al-Masājid al-Atharīyya fī al- madīna al-munawwara'', p. 102.</ref> | | Mosque names |
| | | This mosque has been called by different names. Because of the prostration of the Prophet, which was mentioned above, it is called the Mosque of Sajdah or the Mosque of Sugar. Because it was next to Bostan Al-Buhairi, it was called Al-Bahir Mosque or Al-Bahiri, and because it was close to the Aswaf grove or on the way to Al-Safalah Gardens, it was also called the Aswaf Mosque or Salafa Mosque.[3. ʿAbdu-l Ghanī, Muḥammad ʾIlyās.Al-Masājid al-Atharīyya. p92,93] |
| ===Qubba al-ruʾūs===
| | It is not exactly clear why and since when this mosque became known as Abu Dhar Mosque, but Matri, a local historian of Medina, mentioned it as Abu Dhar Mosque in the 8th century. Samhoudi doubted the correctness of this naming, but the name of Abu Dhar Mosque has been widely used until today.[4. Najafī, Sayyid Muḥammad Bāqir. Madīna shināsī p.206,207 ʿAbdu-l Ghanī, Muḥammad ʾIlyās. Al-Masājid al-Atharīyya. P.93] |
| From the 11th/16thAD century onwards, this mosque was also known as the Qubba al-ruʾūs.<ref>Anṣārī, ''Āthār al-madīna al-munawwara'', p. 136.</ref> According to ʿAlī Ḥāfiẓ, it was called Qubba al-ruʾūs because the ʿUttoman Turks used to cut off the heads of desert bandits and put them there.<ref>Anṣārī, ''Āthār al-madīna al-munawwara'', P. 136; Numīrī, ''Tārīkh al-madīna al-munawwara'', p. 146.</ref>According to ʿAyyāshī, the historian of [[Medina]], Making this mosque known as Qubba al-ruʾūs has a bad effect and this name is not worthy of this mosque.<ref>ʿAyyāshī, ''Al-Madīna al-munawwara bayn al-māḍī wa al-ḥāḍir'', p. 192.</ref>
| | History of the mosque |
| | | Mutari (1741 AH) writes in the book of Al-Tarief Bama Ansat al-Hijrah that on Saflah Road, which is the eastern road to Hamza Seyyed al-Shahda’s grave, there is a very small mosque, which is called Abi Dhar Mosque. [5Maṭarī, Muḥammad b. Aḥmad al-, Al-Taʿrīf bimā ʾansat al-hija. P.147,148] Samhoudi (911 AH) at the end of the century. He described the ninth mosque as a small building with dimensions of 8 cubits by 8 cubits and believes that this mosque was located near a grove called Al-Bahir.[6.Samhudī, ʿAlī b. ʿAbd Allāh. ‘’Wafāʾ al-wafā. Vol.3p209] |
| ==Prophet(a) in Suqyā==
| | Another report from the year 1303/1885 AD describes the Abu Dhar Ghafari mosque as a small mosque without a roof near the alms fountain. [7.ʿAbdu-l Ghanī, Muḥammad ʾIlyās. Al-Masājid al-Atharīyya.p95 ] Abdul Qudous Ansari also spoke about this mosque in his book. He described Al-Bahir Mosque as a very small square mosque with a length and width of 4 meters, and according to his report, the walls of this mosque were one meter high.[8Anṣārī, ʿAbdu-l quddūs al-. Athār madīna al-munawwaravol.139,140. ] |
| On the way from Medina to Badr (in the [[Battle of Badr]]), [[Prophet Muhammad(a)]] stopped in Suqyā and did prayer and prayed: Just as God blessed the people of [[Mecca]] after the prayer of [[Prophet Abraham]] (a), may He also bless the people of [[Medina]].<ref>Tirmidhī, ''Al-Jāmiʿ al-ṣaḥīḥ'', vol. 5, p. 528.</ref> It is said that the Prophet saw his army in this place.<ref>Numīrī, ''Tārīkh al-madīna al-munawwara'', vol 1., p. 72.</ref> It is reported that the Prophet(a) drank water from the Suqyā well on his way to Badr.<ref>Ibn Saʿd, ''Al-Ṭabaqāt al-kubrā'', vol.1, p. 504.</ref>
| | In his book, which was first published in 1410, Seyyed Ahmed Yassin Khayari spoke about the reconstruction of the mosque in a beautiful way and that this mosque was under the supervision of the endowment department of Saudi Arabia[9. Khiyārī, Sayyid Aḥmad Yāsīn.Tārīkh maʿālimal-madīna al-munawwara qadīman wa ḥadīthanp.180]. It is 18 meters long and 13.10 meters wide. [10. ʿAbdu-l Ghanī, Muḥammad ʾIlyās. Al-Masājid al-Atharīyya. P94] |

| Ibn Shabbah considers this mosque as one of the mosques where the Prophet(a) prayed.<ref>Numīrī, ''Tārīkh al-madīna al-munawwara'', vol. 1, p. 72.</ref> According to Samhūdī's report, [[ʿUmar b. ʿAbd al-ʿazīz]] built this mosque at the place of the Prophet's prayer. According to the words of Samhūdī, quoted by Abū ʿAbdallah Asadī, one of the historians of the first centuries, this mosque was famous as one of the historical mosques of [[Medina]].<ref>Samhūdī, ''Wafāʾ al-wafā'', vol. 3, p. 198.</ref>

| ===Samhūdī's report about Suqyā Mosque===
| |
| 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 miḥrāb and the four corners of the Suqyā 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]].<ref>Samhudī, ''Wafāʾ al-wafā'', vol. 3, p. 200.</ref> According to Samhudī's report, Suqyā Mosque in his time, was rebuilt on its original foundations, which is a square with an area of about seven cubits by seven cubits.<ref>Samhudī, ''Wafāʾ al-wafā'', vol. 3, p. 200.</ref>Aḥmad ʿAbbāsī's report in the 11th/17th century also confirms the area of this mosque.<ref>ʿAbbāsī, ''ʿUmdat al-akhbār'', p. 189.</ref>
| |
| According to a report from 1073AH/1662-3AD this mosque is located on the left side of the road leading to [[Medina]] from [[ʿAqīq]] route, in the western [[Ḥarra]].<ref>ʿAyyāshī, ''Al-Riḥla al-ʿAyyāshiyya'', vol. 1, p. 395.</ref>
| |
| | |
| ===Yāsīn Khayārī's opinion===
| |
| Scholars of the first and middle centuries are of the same opinion that the Suqyā Mosque is a historical mosque that is located inside the railway station today. Yāsīn Al-Khayārī a contemporary historian of [[Medina]], said: the ruined building that was located next to the Suqyā well in his time and was destroyed for the development of the road, is the Suqyā Mosque.<ref>Khayārī, ''Tārīkh maʿālimal-madīna al-munawwara qadīman wa ḥadīthan'', p. 149.</ref>This dilapidated building is clearly visible in the picture he gave in his book. Muḥammad ʾIlyās Abdu-l Ghanī, with several reasons, has proved the famous opinion and rejected the opinion of Khayārī.<ref>Abdu-l Ghanī, ''Al-Masājid al-Atharīyya fī al- madīna al-munawwara'', p. 102-106.</ref>
| |
| | |
| ==Description of the mosque==
| |
| Shanqīṭī describes the Suqyā Mosque as follows: Inside the buildings of the railway station, from the south, the Suqyā Mosque can be seen, which has triple domes. The middle dome is bigger.<ref>Shanqīṭī, ''Al-Durr al-thamīna fī maʿālim dār al-rasūl'', p. 237.</ref>
| |
| The mosque building has vertical and horizontal sections and consists of three empty spaces or gaps covered by three domes. The middle dome is the biggest of all the domes. Its miḥrāb is in the [[Qibla]] wall. In half of the north, east and west walls of its building, an arched and crescent-shaped valve with a circular arch is installed. The walls are plastered with white plaster.<ref>Ṣāliḥī Lumaʿī, ''Al-madīna al-munawwara wa taṭawwurihā al-ʿumrānī wa turāthiha al-miʿmārī'' P. 209-210.</ref>
