[[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>
