It is also said that this is where the Prophet ﷺ came to welcome Hz. Ali عليه اسلام after returning from a battle.

This mosque is close to Abu Bakr as-Siddique Mosque and Al-Ghamamah Mosque.

Permanently closed

This is a small historical masjid rebuild few years back by Saudi Government, located near today’s Salam Gate.

However it is looking neglected as there’s a lack of maintenance. Prayer is not allowed as it is permanently closed, which shows rigidness of Saudi mind.
