This mosque is located at the south-western flank of the Prophet’s Mosque, and north-west of the Masjid al-Ghamamah.
This mosque was built on the site that used to be the house of first Caliph of Muslims, Hz. Abu Bakr as-Siddique رضي الله عنه . It was later converted to Mosque.
It’s a small mosque which is usually closed for prayers (probably due to it’s proximity to Masjid al-Nabawi) but you can just pay a visit.
