==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>
