2. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Muhammad ibn al-Husayn from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd Allah ibn Hilal from ‘Uqbah ibn Khalid who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah , ‘We go to the Masjids which are around al-Madinah. Which one should we visit first?’ He (the Imam) replied, ‘First you should go to Masjid of Quba’. Perform salat (prayer) therein a great deal; it is the first Masjid where the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, performed salat (prayer) in this area. Then you should go to Mushrabah of mother of Ibrahim and perform salat (prayer) therein. This place is the living quarter of the Messenger of Allah where he performed salat (prayer). Then you should go to the Masjid of al-Fadikh and perform salat (prayer) therein. In this place, Your prophet performed salat (prayer). When you complete your visit of this side then go to the side of ‘Uhud. First you should go to the Masjid which is before al-Hurrah, perform salat (prayer) there, then visit the grave of Hamzah ibn ‘Abd al-Muttalib and offer him your greeting of peace. Then you should visit the graves of the martyrs standing nearby and say, “May (Allah’s) favors be with you, O inhabitants of this dwelling. You have left and we are about to join you.” Thereafter you should go to the Masjid, which was in the open area on the side of the hill on the right side when entering ‘Uhud. Perform salat (prayer) therein. The Holy Prophet had left for ‘Uhud from this place to face the pagans. They remained there until the time for salat (prayer) and he performed salat (prayer) therein. Thereafter you should go on to perform salat (prayer) near the graves of the martyrs (to gain) what Allah has written for you. Thereafter go forward until you come to the Masjid of al-Ahzab, perform salat (prayer) therein and say what the Messenger of Allah had said, “O Supporter of one crying for help in distressful conditions, O the One who answers the prayers of the helpless ones, remove my anxiety, sadness and distress. You are watching my condition and the condition of my companions.’””

3. A number of our people have narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from al-Husayn ibn Sa‘id from Al-Nadr ibn al-Suwayd from Hisham ibn Salim who has said the following: “I heard Abu ‘Abd Allah , say, ‘Fatima lived for seventy-five days after the death of the Messenger of Allah. During this time, she was never seen laughing or smiling. Every week she would go twice to the gravesites of the martyrs, once on Monday and on Thursdays, and say, ‘There was the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and there were the pagans.'" In another Hadith, Aban has narrated from those whom he has mentioned from Abu ‘Abd Allah , who has said the following: "She would perform salat (prayer) there and pray until she died."

4. Muhammad ibn Yahya has narrated from Ahmad ibn Muhammad from ibn Faddal from al-Mufaddal ibn Salih from Layth al-Muradiy who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah , ‘Why Masjid of al-Fadikh is called Masjid of al- Fadikh?’ He (the Imam) replied, ‘It is because of a palm tree that was called al-Fadikh and for this reason it is called Masjid of al-Fadikh.’”

5. Abu Ali al-Ash’ariy has narrated from Muhammad ibn ‘Abd al-Jabbar from Safwan ibn Yahya from ibn Muskan from al-Halabiy who has said the following: “Abu ‘Abd Allah , once asked, ‘Have you gone to Masjid of Quba’, or Masjid of al- Fadikh, or Mashrabah of mother of Ibrahim?’ I replied, ‘Yes, I have done so.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘No other thing of the things reminding of the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, is left that is not changed except this.’”

6. A number of our people have narrated from Sahl ibn Ziyad from Musa ibn Ja’far from ‘Umar ibn Sa‘id from al-Hassan ibn Sadaqah from ‘Ammar ibn Musa who has said the following: “I once visited abu ‘Abd Allah , and I entered Masjid of al-Fadikh. He (the Imam) asked, ‘O ‘Ammar, do you see this depression of land?’ I replied, ‘Yes, I see it.’ He (the Imam) then said, ‘Wife of Ja’far who married ’Amir al-Mu’minin once was sitting at this place with her two sons from Ja’far. She wept and her sons asked, ‘Mother, what has made you weep?’ She replied, ‘I wept for ’Amir al-Mu’minin.’ They asked, ‘Mother, why do you weep for ’Amir al-Mu’minin but not for our father?’ She replied, ‘It is not that way. I wept because of a Hadith I remembered from ’Amir al- Mu’minin narrated to me at this place and that made me weep.’ They asked, ‘What is that Hadith?’ She then said, ‘Once ’Amir al-Mu’minin and I were in this Masjid. He asked, ‘Do you see this depression in the land?’ I replied, ‘Yes, I see it.’ He then said, ‘Once the Messenger of Allah, O Allah, grant compensation to Muhammad and his family worthy of their services to Your cause, and I were sitting in there. He (the Messenger of Allah) placed his head in my lap and went to sleep until he began to snore. It became time for al-‘Asr salat (prayer) but I did not like to move his head from my lap which may have caused any trouble to the Messenger of Allah. Time went by and al-‘Asr salat (prayer) was missed. The Messenger of Allah woke up and asked, ‘O Ali, did you perform salat (prayer)?’ I replied, ‘No, I did not do so.’ He asked, ‘Why did you not perform salat (prayer)?’ I replied, ‘I did not like to cause you any trouble.’ He (the Imam) said, ‘He (the Messenger of Allah) stood up facing the direction of Ka‘bah and stretched his both hands and said, “O Allah, return the sun to its time so Ali , can perform his salat (prayer).” The sun returned to the time for salat (prayer) for such a period of time in which he could perform al-‘Asr salat (prayer) and then it went by like a star.’”
