'''Sajda Mosque''' is one of the old mosques in [[Medina]], which was built in the prayer place of the [[Prophet Muḥammad(a)]]. This mosque is located in the north of [[Masjid al-Nabī]] and the intersection of Abū Dhar Street and Al-Maṭār Street. This mosque is also known as Al-Buḥayr Mosque, Abū Dhar Mosque and ʾAswāf Mosque.
Altar of the Prophet
The Prophet’s Altar is the place where the Prophet (PBUH) prays, which is located in the Prophet’s Mosque between the Prophet’s pulpit and his grave. During the period of the Prophet, there was nothing in the form of a mihrab, until during the development of the Prophet’s Mosque during the period of Walid bin Abdul Malik, a mihrab was built in the place of his prayer. Qaytbay, the king of Egypt (9th century AD) rebuilt the hollow altar by renewing the mosque. Ibn Mihrab was decorated during the era of Ottoman rule and is still located in Masjid al-Nabi.
History
During the time of the Prophet (PBUH), in the place of Masjid al-Nabi where he prayed, there was no mihrab in the form of a hollow inside the wall[1. Ṣāliḥī Lumaʿī,  Muṣṭafā .  Al-madīna al-munawwara. P59] and the place of prayer of the Prophet had no sign except that it was next to the Makhalkah pillar. [2. Sayyid Ḍīyāʾ b. Muḥammad b. Maqbūl ʿAṭṭār.Al-Taʿrīf  bi tārīkh wa maʿālim al-masjid al-nabawīī al-sharīf.p162] This was the first time in the development of Masjid al-Nabi. During the period of Walid bin Abd al-Malik (reign 86-96 AH), a mihrab was built at the place of the Prophet’s prayer.[3. Sayyid al-Wakīl,Al-masjid al-nabawīī ʿabar  tārīkh.p128.  Jaʿfariyān, Rasūl.  ’Āthār-i islāmi-yi Makka wa Madīna’’p260]
During the Mamluk period
Although historical sources do not have any reports about the reconstruction of the mihrab during the period of Baybars Bundogdari (reigned 658-676 AH), the fourth Mamluk sultan, some researchers, by examining historical evidence, believe that the first hollow-shaped mihrab (carved into the wall) in the reconstructions of the Baybars period in the place The prayer of the Prophet (PBUH) was made; Because the reports of the sources before this date did not mention the existence of a hollow altar in the place of the Prophet’s shrine. [4 Hazzaʿ al-Shahrī, Muḥammad .ʿImārah al-masjid al-nabawīī. P227]
In the restoration of Masjid-ul-Nabi during the period of Qaytbai, the Sultan of Egypt, in 888 after the fire in Masjid-ul-Nabi, the mihrab was rebuilt in the place of the Prophet’s prayer, and in the same period, it was decorated with marble and verses from the Qur’an were engraved on it [5. Hazzaʿ al-Shahrī, Muḥammad .ʿImārah al-masjid al-nabawīī. P342]. ]
In the Ottoman period
In the restoration of Masjid al-Nabi during the reign of Sultan Abdul Majid I, the Prophet’s altar, which was left over from the time of Qaytbay, was gilded. Also, during this time, Abdullah Zahdi, a Turkish calligrapher, engraved verses of the Quran, texts and poems on the mihrab.[6. Ṣāliḥī Lumaʿī,  Muṣṭafā .  Al-madīna al-munawwara p.96] In the Saudi period, the same mihrab of the Qaytbay period remained.[7. ʿImārah wa tawsiah al-masjid al-nabawīī p170]
Place
The Prophet’s altar was built in the place of the Prophet’s Mosque where the Messenger of God (pbuh) prayed. [3] This altar is located next to the Mukhallaqah pillar [8. Sayyid al-Wakīl.Al-masjid al-nabawīī ʿabar  tārīkhp163 ] and in the distance between the pulpit of the Prophet (pbuh) and his grave (Rawzah Sharifah). [9.Sayyid al-Wakīl.Al-masjid al-nabawīī ʿabar  tārīkh p163 ] Researchers are of the opinion that this place is the place where the Prophet (PBUH) prayed. [3.Sayyid al-Wakīl,Al-masjid al-nabawīī ʿabar  tārīkh.p128.  Jaʿfariyān, Rasūl.  ’Āthār-i islāmi-yi Makka wa Madīna’’p260 ]
The mihrab is placed in such a way that the one who prostrates on it places his forehead on the Prophet’s sitting place, not his prostration place. [8.  Sayyid al-Wakīl.Al-masjid al-nabawīī ʿabar  tārīkhp163] The Prophet’s prostration place is placed under the mihrab.[10.Sayyid Ḍīyāʾ b. Muḥammad b. Maqbūl ʿAṭṭār.Al-Taʿrīf  bi tārīkh wa maʿālim al-masjid al-nabawīī al-sharīf p164 ]


==location==
This mosque is located 900 meters north of [[Masjid al-Nabī]] at the intersection of Abū Dhar Street and Al-Maṭār Street.<ref>ʿAbdu-l Ghanī, ''Al-Masājid al-ʾAtharīyya'', P. 93.</ref>


==story of the mosque==
==Notes==
[[Prophet Muḥammad(a)]] prayed two rakʿats in this mosque. The prostration of the Prophet(a) in the second [[rakʿat]] 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.<ref>Samhūdī, ''Wafāʾ al-wafā'', vol. 3, p. 209-210.</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 Sajda or the Mosque of shukr(gratitude). Because it was next to garden of Al-Buḥayrī, it was called Al-Buḥayr or Al-Buḥayrī Mosque, and because it was close to the ʾAswāf palm-grove or on the way to Al-Sāfila Gardens, it was also called the ʾAswāf or Sāfila Mosque.<ref>ʿAbdu-l Ghanī, ''Al-Masājid al-Atharīyya'', p. 92-93.</ref>
It is not exactly clear why and when this mosque became known as Abū Dhar Mosque, but Maṭarī, a [[local historian of Medina]], mentioned it, as Abū Dhar Mosque in the 8th/14th century. Samhudī doubted the correctness of this naming, but the name of Abū Dhar Mosque has been widely used up to now.<ref>Najafī, ''Madīna shināsī'', p. 206-207; ʿAbdu-l Ghanī, ''Al-Masājid al-Atharīyya'', P. 93.</ref>
 
==History of the mosque==
Maṭarī(d.741 AH/1340-1) writes in the book of [[Al-Taʿrīf  bimā ʾansat al-hijra]] that on Sāfila Road, which is the eastern road to [[Ḥamza Sayyid al-Shuhda's grave]], there is a very small mosque, which is called Abī Dhar Mosque.<ref>Maṭarī, ''Al-Taʿrīf  bimā ʾansat al-hijra'', P. 147-148.</ref> At the end of the 9th/15th century, Samhudī(d. 911 AH/1505-6)  described the mosque as a small building with dimensions of 8 cubits by 8 cubits and believes that this mosque was located near a palm-grove called Al-Buḥayr. <ref>Samhudī, ''Wafāʾ al-wafā'', Vol. 3, p. 209.</ref>
Another report from the year 1303/1885-6 AD describes the [[Abū Dhar Ghifārī]] mosque as a small mosque without a roof near the Ṣadaqa spring.<ref>ʿAbdu-l Ghanī, ''Al-Masājid al-Atharīyya'', p. 95.</ref> ʿAbdu-l Quddūs Anṣārī, also spoke about this mosque in his book. He described Al-Buḥayr 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.<ref>Anṣārī, ''Āthār al-madīna al-munawwara'', p. 139-140.</ref>
Sayyid Aḥmad Yāsīn al-Khayārī, In his book, which was first published in 1410/1989-90, 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. <ref>Khayārī, ''Tārīkh maʿālim al-madīna al-munawwara qadīman wa ḥadīthan'', p. 180.</ref> In his book, ʾIlyās ʿAbdu-l Ghanī also considered the reconstructed mosque to be 18 meters long and 10.13 meters wide.<ref>ʿAbdu-l Ghanī, ''Al-Masājid al-Atharīyya'', P. 94.</ref>
