When he got up from sajda, he said: [[Gabriel]] came to me and said: Whoever from your nation sends blessings upon you, God sends blessings upon him; I performed sajda for gratitude.<ref>Samhudī, ''Wafāʾ al-wafā'', vol. 3, p. 209-210.</ref> | ||

==Names== | |||
This mosque has been called by different names. It is called the al-Sajda or al-Shukr (gratitude) because of the sajda of the Prophet mentioned above. Because it was next to the garden of al-Buhayri, it was called al-Buhayr or al-Buhayri Mosque, and because it was close to the Aswaf palm-grove or on the way to al-Safila Gardens, it was also called al-Aswaf or al-Safila 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 Abu Dharr Mosque, but al-Matari, a [[local historian of Medina]], mentioned it as Abu Dhar Mosque in the 8th/14th century. Samhudī doubted the correctness of this naming, but the name of Abu 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> | |||
