Journey to Madīna-tul-Munawwaraĥ 177
Ziyārāt [holy sites] in Madīna-tul-Munawwaraĥ
Orchard of Jannaĥ
The space between the blessed Ḥujraĥ (which is now included in the
blessed mausoleum) of the Noble Prophet ٖ
and his
Mimbar (pulpit) with its length 22 meters and width 15 meters is
’ i.e. an orchard of Paradise. The Holy Prophet ٖ َ اجل ‘
has stated, ‘ َ ب ۡ وَمِن ۢۡ رب َ ٌ ة مِ‏ ّ نَّةِ‏ ۡ ’ i.e. the space between
my house and the Mimbar is an orchard from amongst the orchards

of Paradise.’ (Bukhārī, vol. 1, pp. 402, Ḥadīš 1195) Colloquially, it is called

Masjid Qubā
About 3 kilometres from Madīnaĥ lies an ancient village called
‘Qubā’ where this Masjid is situated in south-western direction. The
excellence of this Masjid has been described even in the Quran and
authentic Aḥādīš. Devotees of Rasūl can reach from Masjid-un-
Nabawī to Masjid Qubā by walking with a medium pace within
almost 40 minutes. It is stated in Ṣaḥīḥ Bukhārī that the Beloved
Prophet ٖ
used to travel to this Masjid every Saturday
either by walking or by riding. (Bukhārī, vol. 1, pp. 402, Ḥadīš 1193)
Reward of ‘Umraĥ
Here are two sayings of the Noble Prophet ٖ
:
1. To offer Ṣalāĥ in Masjid Qubā is equivalent to ‘Umraĥ. (Tirmiżī,
vol. 1, pp. 348, Ḥadīš 324)
2. The person who makes Wuḍū at his home and then offers
Ṣalāĥ in Masjid Qubā will be given the reward of ‘Umraĥ.
(Ibn Mājaĥ, vol. 2, pp. 175, Ḥadīš 1412)
