===Yasin Khayari's opinion===
===Yasin al-Khayari's opinion===
Scholars of the first and middle centuries are of the same opinion that the Suqya Mosque is a historical mosque that is located inside the railway station today. Yasin Al-Khayari a contemporary historian of [[Medina]], said: the ruined building that was located next to the Suqya well in his time and was destroyed for the development of the road, is the Suqya Mosque.<ref>Khayari, ''Tarikh ma'alimal-madina al-munawwara qadiman wa hadithan'', p. 149.</ref>This dilapidated building is clearly visible in the picture he gave in his book. Muhammad 'Ilyas Abdu-l Ghani, with several reasons, has proved the famous opinion and rejected the opinion of Khayari.<ref>Abdu-l Ghani, ''Al-Masajid al-Athariyya fi al- madina al-munawwara'', p. 102-106.</ref>
