The
Messenger
of
Allah,
may
Allah
bless
him
and
grant
him
peace,
reached
the
place
of
Quba,
located
at
a
distance
of
4-5
km
south
of
Medina.
He
met
all
his
inhabitants
and
lived
there
for
four
days.
In
Cuba,
the
Prophet
(peace
and
blessings
of
Allaah
be
upon
him)
stayed
in
the
house
of
Kulthum
ibn
al-Khidama.
Ali,
may
Allah
be
pleased
with
him,
arrived
to
him
after
he
returned
the
things
to
their
owners,
which
they
had
entrusted
(this
was
written
about
in
the
previous
article)
to
the
Prophet.
Al
Quba
Mosque
is
the
first
mosque
ever
built
(outside
Medina)
and
the
oldest
mosque
in
Saudi
Arabia.
Its
first
stones
were
laid
by
the
Prophet
Muhammad
(saw)
during
his
migration
from
Mecca
to
Medina,
but
the
mosque
was
completed
by
his
companions.
The
Prophet
Muhammad
(s.a.w.)
spent
within
its
walls,
according
to
different
versions,
from
3
to
15
nights,
waiting
for
Ali-ashab
(r.a.).
Qubbah
is
a
place
located
4–5
km
south
of
Medina.
Prophet
Muhammad
(s.a.w.)
during
his
migration
before
entering
Medina,
stayed
in
Qubba,
here
he
laid
the
foundation
for
a
mosque.
The
Koran
says
about
this
mosque:
(meaning)
“It
is
built
on
the
foundation
of
fear
of
God.
It
is
good
for
you
to
stand
for
prayer
in
this
mosque.
There
are
people
there
who
love
cleanliness,
and
Allah
loves
those
who
keep
cleanliness”
(Surah
9,
verses
108-109).
This
is
the
sense
in
which
the
Koran
speaks
about
this
mosque.
Therefore,
the
Prophet
Muhammad
(pbuh)
and
his
companions
often
went
to
this
mosque
and
performed
prayers
in
it.
The
sacred
hadith
says:
“the
Prophet
Muhammad
(s.a.w.)
visited
the
Qubbah
mosque
sometimes
on
foot
and
sometimes
on
horseback”
(Bukhari).
A
very
important
sunnah
is
to
visit
the
Qubbah
Mosque.
If
possible,
it
is
visited
on
Saturday,
and
if
it
is
not
possible
on
this
day,
then
on
any
other
day.
For
ziyarat,
they
make
the
intention
to
perform
namaz
there
and
get
closer
to
Allah.
The
hadith
says:
“Namaz
performed
in
the
Qubbah
Mosque
is
equal
to
performing
Umrah”
(Tirmidhi).
The
hadith
narrated
by
Bukhari
and
Muslim
says:
“Prophet
Muhammad
(saw)
came
to
the
Kubba
mosque
on
horseback
or
on
foot
and
performed
two
rak’ahs
in
it.”
Another
legend
says:
“The
Messenger
of
Allah
(saw)
came
there
every
Saturday.”
There
is
also
such
a
hadith:
“Whoever
cleanses
himself
in
his
house,
then
comes
to
the
Kubba
mosque
and
performs
prayer
in
it,
will
be
rewarded
in
the
same
way
as
for
Umrah”
(Ahmad).
Ibn
Saad
narrates
from
the
Messenger
of
Allah
(saw)
that
when
he
visited
Ummah
Bashir
bin
Barra
bin
Maarur
from
the
tribe
of
Bani
Salama,
a
treat
was
prepared
for
him,
after
which
he
recited
the
Zuhr
prayer
together
with
the
Sahabah,
reciting
the
first
two
of
its
rak'ahs
with
the
qibla
to
al-aqs,
and
then
changing
the
qibla
to
Masjid-ul-haram,
after
which
the
mosque
in
which
the
prayer
was
read
was
named
the
Mosque
of
Two
Qiblas.
