When the Prophet arrived Medina he dismounted at ‘Awali-i-Medina amongst a tribe called Banu
‘Amr bin ‘Auf. He stayed there For fourteen nights. Then he sent for Bani An-Najjar and they came
armed with their swords. As if I am looking (just now) as the Prophet was sitting over his Rahila
(Mount) with Abu Bakr riding behind him and all Banu An-Najjar around him till he dismounted at
the courtyard of Abu Aiyub’s house. The Prophet loved to pray wherever the time for the prayer was
due even at sheep-folds. Later on he ordered that a mosque should be built and sent for some people
of Banu-An-Najjar and said, “O Banu An-Najjar! Suggest to me the price of this (walled) piece of
land of yours.” They replied, “No! By Allah! We do not demand its price except from Allah.” Anas ad –
ded: There were graves of pagans in it and some of it was unleveled and there were some date-palm
trees in it. The Prophet ordered that the graves of the pagans be dug out and the unleveled land be
level led and the date-palm trees be cut down . (So all that was done). They aligned these cut date-
palm trees towards the Qibla of the mosque (as a wall) and they also built two stone side-walls (of
the mosque). His companions brought the stones while reciting some poetic verses. The Prophet was
