| '''Pillars of the Masjid al-Nabi''' are the large number of pillars that some of them, like the pillar of Repentance, Tahajjud, Hars, and Compassion, existed in the original structure of the mosque during the time of the [[Prophet Muhammad (s)]], and for this reason, they are of great significance to Muslims. Although [[Masjid al-Nabī|the Mosque of the Prophet]] has been rebuilt several times, the placement of these pillars has not changed in the mosque's reconstructions. These pillars were last rebuilt and distinguished from the other pillars of the mosque during the reign of Abdulmajid I, the Ottoman Sultan, with a change in color.

| ==The history of the pillars==
| |
| Initially, six pillars made from the trunks of date palms supported the roof of [[Al-Masjid al-Nabawi|the Masjid al-Nabi]], which was constructed from palm branches and leaves.<ref>Qarachānlū, ''Ḥaramayn-I sharīfayn'', p. 129; Samhūdī, '' Wafāʾ al-wafā bi akhbār dar al-Muṣṭafā'', vol. 1, p. 267; Yamānī, ''Mawsūʿa makka al-mukarrama wa al-madina al-munawwara'' , vol. 1, p. 246.</ref>
| |
| In the second reconstruction, the number of pillars increased, forming two or three rows, with six pillars in each row.<ref>Yamānī, ''Mawsūʿa makka al-mukarrama wa al-madina al-munawwara'' , vol. 2, p. 346.</ref>
| |
| In the seventh reconstruction, the mosque expanded, and the number of pillars increased. The pillars in each row increased from six to nine.<ref>Anṣārī, '' al-. ʿImārah wa tawsiah al-masjid al-nabawīī al-sharīf ʿabar tārīkh'', p. 54.</ref>
| |
| In subsequent expansions, the pillars of the mosque continued to increase. In recent developments, the pillars of this mosque have reached 2104 pillars.<ref>Yamānī, ''Mawsūʿa makka al-mukarrama wa al-madina al-munawwara'' , vol. 2, p. 353.</ref>
| |
| ===The reconstruction of the pillars===
| |
| In the mosque's expansions, the principle was to ensure that the location of the pillars did not change despite changing the material of the pillars.<ref>ʿAṭṭār, ''Al-Taʿrīf bi tārīkh wa maʿālim al-masjid al-nabawīī al-sharīf'' , p. 169. , Qarachānlū, ''Ḥaramayn-I sharīfayn'', p. 131.</ref>
| |
| Since the reign of Malik Zaher, the Mamluk Sultan of Egypt, some of the pillars were placed inside [[the Prophet's Chamber]] or amidst the latticed walls of the Chamber.<ref>Samhūdī, '' Wafāʾ al-wafā bi akhbār dar al-Muṣṭafā'', vol. 1, p. 268.</ref>
| |
| The last time these pillars were reconstructed was during the reign of Sultan Abdulmajid I of the Ottoman Empire. Since then, until today, along with other components of the southern section of the mosque, they have remained unchanged.<ref>Anṣārī, '' al-. ʿImārah wa tawsiah al-masjid al-nabawīī al-sharīf ʿabar tārīkh'', p. 68.</ref>

| ==The blessed and sacred pillars of Masjid al-Nabi==
| | The Hananeh Column (the weeping column) was the trunk of a date palm tree that was present in the Prophet's Mosque during the life of the Prophet of Islam (peace be upon him). The Prophet used to lean on it while delivering sermons to the worshippers. |
| There are several old pillars whose count varies, and among Muslims, they hold a distinguished position due to an event or memory from the time of the Prophet Muhammad (s). Praying beside each of these pillars is considered highly virtuous.
| | "It is narrated that after a pulpit was made for the Messenger of Allah, a sound similar to crying and lamenting came from the trunk of the palm tree. For this reason, it was called the Hananeh Column. According to some reports, people thought the Hananeh Column was one of the columns of the Prophet's Mosque; however, this has been refuted by some historians. |
| ===The pillar of Imam Ali (Haras)===
| | It is said that the trunk of that tree was buried in the Prophet's Mosque somewhere next to the pulpit of the Messenger of Allah and the Makhlagha Column. |
| {{main|Haras pillar}}
| | "Historical background" |
| "This pillar, also known as the 'Haras' or 'Muharras' pillar, is now located within the wall of [[the Prophet's Chamber]]. It originally stood in front of [[Aisha's house]]. It is named 'Haras' because [[Imam Ali (a)]] used to sit beside this pillar and stand guard over the Prophet (s) at night. It is also reported that Imam Ali (a) used to perform his prayers at this location.<ref>Samhūdī, '' Wafāʾ al-wafā bi akhbār dar al-Muṣṭafā'', vol. 2, p. 179; Anṣārī, '' ʿImārah wa tawsiah al-masjid al-nabawīī al-sharīf ʿabar tārīkh'', p. 70; ʿAṭṭār, ''Al-Taʿrīf bi tārīkh wa maʿālim al-masjid al-nabawīī al-sharīf'' , p. 182.</ref> | | The Prophet of Islam (PBUH) used to lean against the trunk of a date palm tree and speak before a pulpit was made. After the pulpit was made in the sixth or seventh year)1) Majlisī,''Biḥār al-anwār'', vol. 21, p. 47. |
| | or the eighth year of Hijra(2) Khwārizmī, "Ithārah al-targhīb wa al-tashwīq", vol. 2, p. 383. |
| | the first time he used the pulpit for a speech and sermon, a moaning sound came from that tree trunk, similar to the moaning of a she-camel separated from its baby or like the sound of a cow(3) Al-Bayhaqī , ''Dalāʾil al-nubuwwah'', vol. 2, p. 563-564 , Ibn Sayyid al-Nās ,''ʿUyūn al-athar'', vol. 1, p. 278. , Al-Ḥalabī ,''Al-Sīrah al-Ḥalabīyah'', vol. 2, p. 366. |
| | was heard. At this moment, Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) descended from the pulpit and embraced the tree trunk or placed his hand on it until its moaning stopped.(4) Khargūshī,''Sharaf al-nabī'', p. 430. , Saʿīd ibn ʿAbd Allāh al-Qaṭb al-Rāwand, '' Al-Kharāʾij wa al-Jarāʾiḥ'', vol. 1, p. 165-166. |
| | According to the book "Muntaha al-Amal," this incident was one of the miracles of the Prophet of Islam (PBUH). According to a narration, the Prophet said that if he had not embraced the tree trunk, it would have continued moaning until the Day of Judgment.(5) Qummī, ''Muntahā al-āmāl'', vol. 1, p. 84. |
| | "name" |
| | They named this tree trunk "Hannana." Hannana is derived from the root "Ḥannā," which means a melodious or sorrowful sound.(6) . Ibn Fāris ,''Muʿjam maqāyīs al-lughah'', vol. 2, p. 24. |
| | Additionally, in Arabic hadith and geographical sources, it is known as "al-Jid‘," which means the tree trunk.(7) Al-Samhūdī, ''Wafāʾ al-wafāʾ'', vol. 2, p. 106. |
| | "The fate of the tree trunk." |
| | Most reports indicate that this tree trunk was buried in the mosque, near the pulpit of the Prophet, at that very time.(8) al-Murāghī, ''Taḥqīq al-Naṣrah bi-Talakhῑṣ Maʿālim Dār al-Hijrah'', p. 237. |
| | Some have said it was buried beneath the pulpit, some have said at the bottom left of the pulpit, and others have said it was buried to the east of the pulpit.(9) al-Murāghī, ''Taḥqīq al-Naṣrah bi-Talakhῑṣ Maʿālim Dār al-Hijrah'', p. 237. |
| | According to one narration, the Prophet spoke to the tree trunk and asked if it wished to be a fruit-bearing tree in Paradise, from which the friends of God would eat its fruits, or if it preferred to be returned to the garden it once belonged to. It chose Paradise and eternal life.(10) Al-Samhūdī, ''Wafāʾ al-wafāʾ'', vol. 2, p. 108. |
| | According to reports, the location where the trunk of Hannana was placed was near the column of creation.(11) Al-Samhūdī, ''Wafāʾ al-wafāʾ'', vol. 2, p. 114. |
| | "Common beliefs" |
| | Reports from certain historical periods suggest that people believed one of the pillars of the Prophet's Mosque was the same pillar as Hannana. Ibn Jubayr (who traveled to Medina between 578-588 AH) reports that people would touch and kiss a piece of wood protruding from under the column's covering for blessing.(12) Muḥammad b. Aḥmad,''Riḥlat Ibn Jubayr'', p. 149-150. |
| | Ibn Battuta also mentions this report in his travelogue(13) ) Muḥammad b. Aḥmad,''Riḥlat Ibn Jubayr'', p. 149-150. , Ibn Baṭṭūṭah,''Riḥlat Ibn Baṭṭūṭah'', vol. 1, p. 153. |
| | Matari, an eighth-century Hijri historian, also reported a similar account and emphasized the inaccuracy of this belief(14) Maṭarī, ''Al-Taʿrīf bimā ʾānasat al-hijra min maʿālim dār al-hijra'', p. 93. |
| | Maraghi mentions in "Tahqiq al-Nasra" that, by the order of the judge of Medina in 755 AH, this part of the wood was covered.(15) al-Murāghī, ''Taḥqīq al-Naṣrah bi-Talakhῑṣ Maʿālim Dār al-Hijrah'', p. 241. |
| | "The virtues of the Hannana column" |
| | According to some Shia narrations, praying beside Hannana(16) Nūrī, '' Mustadrak al-wasāʾil '', vol. 3, p. 426. , Muʿizī Malāyirī, '' Jāmiʿ aḥādīth al-Shīʿa'', vol. 4, p. 515. |
| | has been recommended. It is said that in these narrations, Hannana likely refers to its location in the Prophet's Mosque(17)* |
| | "In mystical literature" |
| | The story of the tree trunk weeping in the absence of the Prophet of Islam has been a focal point in the mystical literature of Muslims.(18)* |
| | It has been narrated from Hasan al-Basri that when he was narrating the Hadith of the Trunk, he would cry and say, "A piece of wood weeps out of longing for the Messenger of Allah. O servants of God, your longing should be even greater(19) Al-Samhūdī, ''Wafāʾ al-wafāʾ'', vol. 2, p. 108. |
| | Jalal ad-Din Mohammad Balkhi, an Iranian mystic and poet (d. 672 AH), has composed about the Hannana column(20)* |
| | "The Hannana column laments from the Prophet's departure, like the masters of intellects." |
| | The Prophet asked, "What do you desire, O pillar?" It replied, "My soul has turned to blood due to your separation." |
| | The Prophet asked, "Do you wish to be turned into a palm tree? Both east and west yield fruits because of you." |
| | Or in that realm, would you like God to grant you a cypress? So you remain fresh and verdant forever. |
| | It replied, "I desire eternal existence." Listen, O heedless one, don't underestimate even a piece of wood. |
| | "They buried that column in the ground, so that on the Day of Judgment, like people, it will rise again." |
