Prophet's Mosque

The mosque the Prophet founded in Medina after the Hijra; his camel knelt at the spot and he said 'this is the lodging, God willing', and it was the date-drying yard (mirbad) of two orphans, Sahl and Suhayl ibn 'Amr, in the care of As'ad ibn Zurara — he refused it as a gift until he bought it, ten dinars paid by Abu Bakr in al-Waqidi's account. They built it of mudbrick on a stone foundation of about three cubits; its measure is reported as seventy by sixty cubits, or a hundred square, or less than a hundred; its qibla first faced Jerusalem, and when it was turned the rear door was sealed and its opposite opened; of its three doors Bab 'Atika — the Door of Mercy — and Bab Al 'Uthman are named; it stood unroofed until the heat drove them to shade it with palm trunks and fronds then clay, the Prophet saying 'no — a shelter like the shelter of Moses'.
