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>
