Masjid al-Bay'ah (Mecca)
'''The pillars of the Ka'ba''' refer to the pillars inside the [[Ka'ba]] that were first installed by the Quraysh in the year 35 of [[the Year of the Elephant]]/605 CE; During the reconstruction of the Ka'ba in the year 64 AH/683-4, [[Abdullah b. Zubair]] reduced their number to three, and their number and placement have remained the same to this day.
Masjid al-Bay'ah (Bay'ah Mosque) is an ancient mosque in the city of Mecca, dating back to the 2nd century AH. This mosque is located near Jamarat al-Aqaba and outside the legal boundary of Mina. It is the place where the people of Yathrib pledged allegiance to the Prophet (PBUH).


The color of the pillars is dark brown, and there is a rod between the pillars from which some of the [[Ka'ba's hangings]] are suspended.
According to an inscription on the western wall of Masjid al-Bay'ah, the mosque was built in 144 AH by the order of Mansur Abbasi and was later renovated several times.
==History==
The first pillars of the Ka'ba were erected by the [[Quraysh]] in the year 35 [[Aam al-Fil]] (the Year of the Elephant)/ 605 CE. They included six pillars in two rows of three, extending from north to south (the width of the Ka'ba).<ref>Ṣabrī Pāshā,  ''Mawsūʿa mirʾāt al-ḥaramayn wa Jazīrat al-ʿArab '', vol. 2, p. 819; Ṣaffarī-Furūshānī, '' Makkah fī Bistar al-Tārīkh'', p. 106.</ref>
Before that, since the time of [[Abraham (a)|Prophet Ibrahim(a)]] , the [[Ka'ba]] was without a roof and did not need pillars.<ref>Ṣabrī Pāshā,  ''Mawsūʿa mirʾāt al-ḥaramayn wa Jazīrat al-ʿArab '', vol. 1, p. 332. , Azraqī, ''Akhbār Makka'', vol. 1, p. 66.</ref>
During the war between the armies of [[Yazid]] and [[Ibn al-Zubayr]], the Ka'ba was set on fire and destroyed. Abdullah b. al-Zubayr rebuilt the Ka'ba in the year 64 AH/683-4. He placed three wooden pillars, the number and positions of which have remained the same to this day.<ref>Batanūnī, ''Al-Riḥla al-Ḥijāziyya'', p. 106; Ṣabrī Pāshā,  ''Mawsūʿa mirʾāt al-ḥaramayn wa Jazīrat al-ʿArab, vol. 1, p. 264.</ref>
==The Place of the Prophet’s (s) Prayer==


In some historical narrations, it is mentioned that after [[the conquest of Mecca]], [[Prophet Muhammad (s)|the Prophet (s)]] entered the Ka'ba and prayed. The location of his prayer was such that two pillars were on his right, one pillar on his left, and three pillar behind him.<ref>Ṣabrī Pāshā, ''Mawsūʿa mirʾāt al-ḥaramayn wa Jazīrat al-ʿArab '', vol. 2, p. 819.</ref>
Reason for Naming
Today, upon entering the Ka'ba, directly opposite [[the door of the ka'ba|the door ]], there is a mihrab that is identified as the place where the Prophet (s) prayed.<ref>Batanūnī, ''Al-Riḥla al-Ḥijāziyya'', p. 106.</ref> 
When the people of Yathrib (Medina) became acquainted with Islam, during the days of Hajj, at the Jamrat al-Aqabah, they pledged allegiance to the Messenger of God (PBUH) for the first time. After that, Islam spread in Medina. At the site of this event, which is known as the First Pledge of Aqabah, a mosque was built that became famous as "Masjid al-Bay'ah" (Mosque of the Pledge).(1) Jaʿfariyān, ''Āthār-i islāmi-yi Makka wa Madīna'', p. 169.
==Size and Features==
In sources, other mosques are also referred to by the name Masjid al-Bay'ah:
The three pillars built inside the Ka'ba during the reconstruction by Abdullah b. al-Zubayr (64 AH/683-4) have remained in the same number and positions. However, the pillars were replaced in later renovations of the Ka'ba's interior. Today, the pillars are intricately carved and decorated.<ref> Batanūnī, ''Al-Riḥla al-Ḥijāziyya'', p. 106; Ṣabrī Pāshā,  ''Mawsūʿa mirʾāt al-ḥaramayn wa Jazīrat al-ʿArab '', vol. 1, p. 264.</ref>
Masjid al-Ghanam, a mosque in Mecca, which was the place where the people of Mecca pledged allegiance to the Prophet (PBUH).(2)  Azraqī,''Akhbār Makka wa mā jāʾa fīhā min al-āthār'', vol. 2, p. 201 /271. , Qāʾidān, '' Tārīkh wa āthār-i Islāmī-yi Makka wa Madīna'', p. 106.
These three pillars are arranged in a single row from north to south (the width of the Ka'ba), with a distance of four steps between each one. The first pillar is three steps away from the Yemeni-Eastern wall, and the third pillar is opposite the Iraqi-Shami wall.<ref>Ibn Jubayr,''Riḥla Ibn Jubayr'', p. 54;  Ibn Baṭūṭa, ''Al-Raḥla Ibn Baṭūṭa''. vol. 1, p. 372.</ref>
Masjid al-Jinn, a mosque in Mecca, which is the place where the jinn pledged allegiance to the Prophet (PBUH).(3)  Azraqī,''Akhbār Makka wa mā jāʾa fīhā min al-āthār'', vol. 2, p. 201. ,  Ibn Ḍiyāʾ Ḥanafī , ''Tārīkh Makkah al-Mukarrama wa al-Masjid al-Ḥarām wa al-Madīna al-Sharīfa wa al-Qabr al-Sharīf'', p. 181.
The color of the pillars is dark brown. Each pillar has a diameter of 44 centimeters and a circumference of approximately 150 centimeters. These pillars are made of wood, square-shaped, and intricately carved.<ref> Kurdī, ''Makkah wa Madīna: Taṣwīrī min Taqaddum wa Nawsāzī'' ,p. 121.</ref>
Location
Additionally, there is a rod among the three pillars from which some of the [[Ka'ba’s gifts]] are hung. Above each pillar, there is a beam whose ends are embedded in the northern and southern walls of the Ka'ba.<ref>Kurdī, ''Makkah wa Madīna: Taṣwīrī min Taqaddum wa Nawsāzī'' ,p. 121.</ref>
Masjid al-Bay'ah is in Mecca, near the Jamrat al-Aqabah [outside the legal boundary of Mina from the Mecca side], on the southern slope of Mount Thubayr. This area is known as Sha'b al-Ansar and Sha'b al-Bay'ah.(4) )  Azraqī,''Akhbār Makka wa mā jāʾa fīhā min al-āthār'', vol. 1, p. 303. , Ḥārithī , ''Al-Muʿjam al-Āthārī li-Manṭiqat Makkah al-Mukarrama'', p. 177. , Bakr, ''Ashhar al-Masājid fī al-Islām'', p. 168.
The three pillars extend only up to the lower ceiling and do not reach the upper ceiling. In the space between the lower and upper ceilings, narrower and additional wooden columns are placed to support the upper ceiling. Some of these pillars are supported indirectly by the three main pillars. At the base of each of the three pillars, which bear most of the roof's weight, there is a ring to reinforce and strengthen them.<ref>Kurdī, ''Makkah wa Madīna: Taṣwīrī min Taqaddum wa Nawsāzī'' ,p. 121.</ref>
... and it is on the left side of someone who is traveling from Mecca towards Mina. The distance from Masjid al-Bay'ah to Jamrat al-Aqabah is more than three hundred meters.(5) Ibn Ḍiyāʾ Ḥanafī , ''Tārīkh Makkah al-Mukarrama wa al-Masjid al-Ḥarām wa al-Madīna al-Sharīfa wa al-Qabr al-Sharīf'', p. 181. , ibn Fahd, '' Ithāf al-Warā bi-ʾAkhbār Umm al-Qurā'', vol. 2, p. 180.

Nowadays, with the development of Mina, the area around Masjid al-Bay'ah, which was previously within the valley and enclosed by mountains, has been cleared. Currently, the mosque is located at the end of the exit path of the second level of the Jamarat towards Mecca, and an iron fence has been placed around the mosque.(6) , Bakr, ''Ashhar al-Masājid fī al-Islām'', p. 169-171. , Jaʿfariyān, ''Āthār-i islāmi-yi Makka wa Madīna'', p. 169.

The area of Masjid al-Bay'ah is 500 square meters. The mosque is rectangular in shape, with a length of 27.90 meters and a width of 17 meters. It is constructed of stone and brick and has no roof.(7) al-Barakātī, '' Dirāsah Tārīkhiyya li-Masājid al-Mashāʿir al-Muqaddasah: Masjid al-Khayf - Masjid al-Bayʿah bi-Minā'', p. 232.

History of the Mosque's Construction
{{Notes}}
According to an inscription from the year 144 AH, which is still preserved and installed on the western wall of the mosque, the construction of this mosque was commissioned by Abu Ja'far al-Mansur Abbasid (reign: 136-158 AH).(8) Al-Ḥārithī ,'' Al-ʾĀthār al-Islāmiyya fī Makkah al-Mukarrama'', p. 217-218.
