Masjid al-Sajdah / Abu Dharr al-Ghifari (مسجد السجدة / أبي ذر الغÙاري) (Mad_05)
<p>This sacred site, located north of Masjid al-Nabawi, marks the place where the Prophet Muhammad (ï·º) offered two <em>rak‘ahs</em> and made a lengthy prostration of gratitude after Jibreel (عليه السلام) conveyed the glad tidings: <strong>“Whoever sends blessings upon me once, Allah sends blessings upon him ten times</strong>.” It was here that Allah bestowed the gift of <em>salawat</em> upon this Ummah. In honor of this moment, a masjid was established by the Companions and later rebuilt by Umar ibn Abdul Aziz (r.a) during his governorship of Madinah.</p>
