Construction of Musjid-un-Nabawi

From the book · p. 24

In brief· the site’s own summary, not the book’s words

Madinah had no Musjid before Nabi ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) came, so the place where his camel sat was bought and the Musjid was built there. Its walls were of unbaked bricks, its pillars were date-palm trunks and its roof was palm branches; the book notes that some narrations say stones were used for the walls. Two rooms were built beside it for Aaishah رضي الله عنها (may Allah be pleased with her) and Sowda رضي الله عنها (may Allah be pleased with her), and more were added later as needed.

Context (the site’s note) · This Musjid, Musjid-un-Nabawi, stands at the heart of Madinah and has been rebuilt and enlarged many times since.

Accounts differThe book says the walls were of unbaked bricks, and adds that “it appears in some narrations that stones were placed as walls”.

There was no in before the arrival of ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him). The place where the camel of Nabi ﷺ (peace and blessings be upon him) sat was purchased and the Musjid was built at that spot. The walls were built from unbaked bricks, the pillars were made from date palms and the roof was made from its branches.

It appears in some narrations that stones were placed as walls and thereafter in every era changes and alterations were made to the Musjid until the present age as we see it. May Allah ﷻ (exalted is His majesty) allow those people, who keep the Musjid occupied, to flourish till the Day of . .

There were two apartments built with the Musjid. One was for Aaishah رضي الله عنها (may Allah be pleased with her) and the other for Hadhrat Sowda رضي الله عنها (may Allah be pleased with her). After these two houses, more apartments were built according to the need.
