Masjid Abuzar Ghifari

Masjid Abuzar Ghifari

Masjid Abuzar Ghifari is situated 900m north of Masjid-e-Nabwi and is also known as Masjid Sajdah after a hugely auspicious incident that occurred here with the Prophet (s.a.w.).

- It has been reported by Abdur Rahman bin Auf (r.a.) that the Prophet (s.a.w.) came to a garden of the Baitul-Maal (treasury) and offered salat, then went in to a (lengthy) prostration. I said to the Prophet (s.a.w.):

“Oh Prophet of Allah, you prostrated (for so long) that I feared that Allah may have taken your soul”.

The Prophet (s.a.w.) said:

“Jibraeel came with a message from Allah; “He who sends salutations and peace upon you, I shall send mercy and blessings upon him.” I prostrated in gratitude of this bounty of Allah.”
