TheAl-Ijabah Mosque (Arabic:مَسْجِد ٱلْإِجَابَة,romanized: Masjid Al-Ijābah), also known asBani Muawiyah Mosque (Arabic:مَسْجِد بَنِي مُعَاوِيَة,romanized: Masjid Banī Muʿāwiyah), or asAl-Mubahalah Mosque (Arabic:مَسْجِد ٱلْمُبَاهَلَة,romanized: Masjid Al-Mubāhalah), is amosque inMedina,Saudi Arabia. The mosque was built during the time of theIslamic prophetMuhammad on a land owned by Muawiyah bin Malik bin 'Auf of the tribe of As-Sus.
The mosque is located 385 metres (1,263 feet) north ofAl-Baqi Cemetery, and it is on As-Sittin Street. The distance toAl-Masjid an-Nabawi (after its expansion in the modern era) is only 580 m (1,900 ft).[1] Today, this region is a part of Bani Muawiyah District.
Ahadith about the mosque inSahih Muslim says that Amir bin Sa'dari said that whenMuhammad returned from Al-Aliyah, he passed the Bani Muawiyah Mosque, entered there and prayed for tworakats, and his companions also followed him. He prayed for a long time, then turned toward the companions and spoke about three wishes he requested to God, in which two of them, saving people from famine and flooding were fulfilled, but the last wish regarding the ending of strife among the people was not. According to theisnad (chain of narrations) from Malik and Abdullah bin Jabir bin Atik,Ibnu Umar said that war, slander and strife would continue until theDay of Judgement.[2]
