QuizTime(50): Which is the first masjid built by Rasulullah (SAW)?

 

Ans: Masjid-e-Quba.

The first mosque that was built by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was the mosque of Quba’ in Madeenah al-Munawwarah.

Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in Zaad al-Ma’aad (3/58), when describing the arrival of the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) in Madeenah:

The Muslims said takbeer, rejoicing at his arrival, and they went out to meet him… He continued until he stopped in Quba’, among Banu ‘Amr ibn ‘Awf, and he stayed among them for fourteen days, and founded the mosque of Quba’, which is the first mosque to be established after the beginning of his Prophethood. End quote.

There are ahaadeeth from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) which speak of the virtue of praying in the mosque of Quba’:

Al-Bukhaari (1193) and Muslim (1399) narrated that Ibn ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to go to the mosque of Quba’ every Saturday, walking or riding.

According to a report narrated by Muslim: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to go to the mosque of Quba’ walking or riding, and he would pray two rak’ahs there.

Al-Tirmidhi (324) narrated from Usayd ibn Zuhayr al-Ansaari, who was one of the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Prayer in the mosque of Quba’ is like ‘Umrah.” Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi.

Al-Nasaa’i (699) narrated that Sahl ibn Hunayf said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever goes out to this mosque, the mosque of Quba’, and prays therein, will have (a reward) like that of ‘umrah.” Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Nasaa’i.

Allah knows the best .
