Visiting the Shrine of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.)
Visiting the Shrine of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.)
The method of visiting the shrine of the Holy Prophet (s) is as follows:
When you arrive in the holy city of al-Madinah, you may bathe yourself,
preparing yourself for the ziyarah. When you intend to enter The Holy
Prophet’s Mosque, you should stop at the door of the mosque and say
the FIRST form of asking permission for entering there. You may enter
from the Gate of Archangel Gabriel (Bab Jibra’il) preceding the right
foot to the left.
You may then repeat one hundred times :

ُ‫هلل ْاكبَر‬
ُ ‫َا‬
You may then offer the two unit prayer of Greeting the Mosque
(tahiyyat al-masjid). After that, you may walk to the holy chamber
that includes the tomb of the Holy Prophet. There, you may touch it
with your hand, kiss it, and say the following :

ِ‫السال َُم َعل َْي َك َيا َر ُسو َل ٱهلل‬


َّ
alssalamu `alayka ya rasula allahi
Peace be upon you, O Messenger of Allah.

ِ‫السال َُم َعل َْي َك َيا ن َ ِب َّي ٱهلل‬

Peace be upon you, O Prophet of Allah.

Peace be upon you, O Muhammad the son of `Abdullah.

Visiting the Shrine of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.)
Ibn Qawlawayh, through a considerable chain of authority, has
reported Muhammad ibn Mas`ud as saying that he, once, saw Imam
Ja`far al-Sadiq (‘a) coming near the tomb of the Holy Prophet(s),
putting his hand on it, and saying these words :

َ ‫هلل َّٱل ِذي ٱ ْجت ََب‬


‫اك َوٱ ْخ َت َار َك‬ َ ‫اسا ُل ٱ‬
ْ
as'alu allaha alladhi ijtabaka wakhtaraka
I pray Allah – Who has chosen you, selected you,

‫ان ي َُصل ِّ َي َعل َْي َك‬


ْ ‫اك َو َه َد ٰى ب ِ َك‬
َ ‫َو َه َد‬
wa hadaka wa hada bika an yusalliya `alayka
guided you, and guided (others) through you – to bless You.
The Imam (‘a) then recited this holy verse :

َ ‫هلل َو َمالئ ِ َك َت ُه ي َُص ُّل‬


‫ون َعل َٰى ٱل َّن ِب ِّي‬ َ ‫» إ ِ َّن ٱ‬
inna allaha wa mala'ikatahu yusalluna `ala alnnabiyyi
“Surely, Allah and His angels bless the Prophet;

َ ‫َيا ُّاي َها َّٱل ِذ‬


« ً ‫ين آ َمنُوٱ َص ُّلوٱ َعل َْيهِ َو َس ِّل ُموٱ َت ْسلِامي‬
ya ayyuha alladhina amanu sallu `alayhi wa sallumu tasliman
O you who believe! Call for (Divine) blessings on him
and salute him with a (becoming) salutation.”
In Misbah al-Mutahajjid, Shaykh al-Tusi says : When you finish praying
near the tomb (of the Holy Prophet), you may come to the minbar,
pass your hand over it, hold the two lower pommels, and then rub
your face and eyes, for this brings about eye healing. You may then
offer prayers there, praise and thank Almighty Allah, and ask for
Medina Ziyarat Index 9
Visiting the Shrine of the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.)
the settlement of your needs. In this respect, the Holy Prophet (s) is
reported to have said, “The area between my tomb and my minbar is
one of the gardens of Paradise. My minbar is situated at one of the
gates of Paradise.” You may then come near the standing-place of the
Holy Prophet (maqam al-nabi) and offer as many prayers as possible
therein. You may also offer as many prayers as possible in the Holy
Prophet’s Mosque, for the reward of one prayer herein is equal to the
reward of one thousand prayers (offered at other places). Whenever
you enter or leave the Mosque, you may invoke Almighty Allah’s
blessings upon the Holy Prophet. You may also offer prayers at the
House of Lady Fatimah (‘a). You may also visit the standing-place of
Archangel Gabriel (maqam jibra’il), which lies under the waterspout.
At this very place, Archangel Gabriel used to stay after he would ask
permission of the Holy Prophet (s). At this place, you may say the
following :

ِ َ ‫اي‬
‫كي ُم‬ ْ ‫اسالُ َك‬
ْ ‫اي َج َوا ُد‬ ْ

I beseech You, O All-magnanimous, O All-generous,

are buried therein. These include those who were injured during
the Battle of Ohod but they achieved martyrdom after returning to
Medina. Then they were buried in Baqee. The martyrs of the Event
of Hurrah are also buried in Baqee. After the tragedy of Kerbala and
the martyrdom of Imam Husain (a.s.) and his companions, the people
of Medina revolted against the Umayyad rule and dethroned the
governor of Medina. Yazid sent a large army to suppress the revolt and
his army plundered Medina for three days continuously, killing people
and looting their property and the honor of their women. Thousands
perished in this attack including 80 companions of the Holy Prophet
(s.a.w.a.) and 700 children of the Ansaar and Mohaajereen (Helpers
and Emigrants). This incident is famous as "Hurrah". The martyrs of
this attack are buried in Baqee. Recite the Ziarat of the martyrs of

MASJID QUBA
First mosque of Islam. The Prophet [s] spent more than 20 nights
here (after migrating) praying qasr while waiting for Imam Ali [a].
It is mentioned in the Qur'an as the mosque founded on piety and
devoutness.
Ayat specifically for this mosque:

‫بِ ْس ِم ِاﷲ ال َّر ْح ٰم ِن ال َّرح ِْی ِم‬


‫ٰان‬

‫َی َت َط َّہرُ ْوا َو اہّٰللُ یُ ِح ُّب ا ْل ُم َّطہِّرِیْ َن۔‬
The Mosque of Quba is renovated and extended many times: Muslims
have a great regard for it. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.a.) used to
visit the Mosque of Quba every Monday and pray there. A tradition
from him says that "One who performs wuzu at his house and goes to
the Mosque of Quba and prays two units of prayer will get the reward
of an Umrah."
Also, Imam Sadiq (a.s.) said, "When you visit the mosques around
Medina, go to the Mosque of Quba first and pray there as far as
possible."

Well of the Prophet [s]


Infront of Masjid Quba, is a sweet-water well that is now closed. The

Medina Ziyarat Index 231


Mosques in Medina
Prophet [s]'s ring fell into this well hence the name Bi'ru al-Khatam
(khatam = ring). It is also called Bi'ru Tufla because at first its water was
salty but when the Holy Prophet [s] spat into it, it changed to sweet
refreshing water. There was a place of Hazrat Ali (a.s.) behind this
mosque and a salty water well in the front. There is no sign of this well
today. It is said that the finger-ring of the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) had fallen
in it. Hence it is called 'Chahe Angushtari' Bi'ru al-Khatam (khatam
= ring)(well of finger-ring) while it is also called 'Chahe Abe Dahaan'
(Well of saliva). It is said that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) had put his
saliva in this well because of which its water became sweet.,hence it
was called Bi'ru Tufla also
Mashrabat Umm Ibrahim
Joined to Masjid Quba is "Mashrabat Ummu Ibrahim". This is the
room of the Prophet [s]'s wife Mariah Qibtwiyya (Umm Ibrahim). The
Prophet [s] used to live and pray here.
A group of hyprocrites constructed a mosque in 9th Hijri so that they
could oppose Islam and Muslims. The Prophet (s.a.w.a.) was asked
to pray in it for its inauguration and as an offering. The Holy Prophet
(s.a.w.a.) said that he would do so on a suitable occasion. But the
revelation of the verse... wal ladinat Takhad'u Masjidan Z'iraran wa
kufran...' destroyed their plans and the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) ordered to
demolish it.

MASJID-E-ZU-QIBLATAIN (Mosque of Two Qiblas)


The mosque where the Holy Prophet [s] was commanded to change
his qibla from Masjid al-Aqsa (Jerusalem) to the Holy Ka'aba (Makkah)
In the sixth month of 1st Hijri, the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) visited the tribe
of Bani Saalim which is in the north-west of Medina on invitation by
Umme Bashar. As usual, he prayed two units of Zohr prayer facing
Bayt-ul-Muqaddas when Allah ordered him to face Kaba. He continued

232 Index Medina Ziyarat


Mosques in Medina
the remaining prayer facing Kaba. After that, Kaba became Qiblah of
Muslims forever. Hence this mosque is called 'Masjid-e-D'uqiblatan'
or 'Masjid-e-Qiblatain' (The Mosque of Two Qiblas). This mosque is a
little away from Mosque of Fatah towards the west.
This is a verse among the verses revealed on this incident.

‫ئ َف َلنُ َول َِّی َّن َك‬


ِ ‫الس َم ٓا‬َّ ‫َق ْد نَرٰی َت َق ُّل َب َو ْجہِ َك فِی‬

"Earlier there were two arches (Mehrab) opposite to each other - one
facing Kaaba and another Bayt-ul-Muqaddas. Unfortunately, only one
arch remained when the renovation of this mosque was done a few
years ago. The first signs of this incident were erased."
It is mustahab (recommended) to pray 2 rakats Namaz of respect in
this Mosque. It is better to recite the following Dua after the prayers:

‫اَل ّٰل ُہ َّم ا ِ َّن ہٰ َذا َم ْسجِ ُد ا ْلق ِ ْب َل َتی ْ ِن‬

MASJID-E-FATH (MASJID-E-AHZAAB) KHANDAQ


Masjid-e-Fath (Masjid-e-Ahzaab) ('mosque of victory') is at the top of
a mountain. This is named after the Muslims victory in the Battle of
Khandaq.
There are many small mosques on the edge of Sala'kahar which indicate
the map of the Battle of Khandaq. The army of Islam had camped here.
Later a mosque was built here and it became famous with the name
of Masjid-e-Fath. It is said that the Holy Prophet (s.a.w.a.) prayed for
the victory of Muslims here and it was here that the Holy Prophet
(s.a.w.a.) got the news of victory of Muslims. Hence it is named so. The
