Stories from Qurran (Mosque zarar)
Masjid Quba' |
Before the Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) migrated to Al-Madinah, there was a man from Al-Khazraj called "Abu `Amir. Abu `Amir was known for being a notable person among Al-Khazraj. When the Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) arrived at Al-Madinah , Abu `Amir fled from Al-Madinah to Quraysh in Makkah to support them in the war against the Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) . The Quraysh united their forces for the battle of Uhud .
Abu `Amir dug many holes in the ground between the two camps, into one of which Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) fell, injuring his face and breaking one of his right lower teeth. He also sustained a head injury. Before the fighting started, Abu `Amir approached his people among the Ansar and tried to convince them to support him but They cursed him and he went back declaring, "By Allah! Evil has touched my people after I left.'' The Messenger of Allah called Abu `Amir to Allah and recited the Qur'an to him before his flight to Makkah, but he refused to embrace Islam .
After the battle of Uhud was finished, Abu `Amir realized that the Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) call was still rising and gaining momentum, so he went to Heraclius, the emperor of Rome, asking for his aid against the Prophet .
Heraclius gave him promises and Abu `Amir remained with him.He also wrote to several of his people in Al-Madinah, who em braced hypocrisy, promising them that he will lead an army to fight the Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) to defeat him and his call.
These hypocrites built a Masjid next to the Masjid in Quba', and they finished building it before the Messenger went to Tabuk. They went to the Messenger inviting him to pray in their Masjid so that it would be a proof that the Messenger approved of their Masjid. They told him that they built the Masjid for the weak and ill persons on rainy nights. However, Allah prevented His Messenger from praying in that Masjid.
When the Messenger of Allah came back from Tabuk and was approximately one or two days away from Al-Madinah, Jibril came down to him with the news about Masjid Ad-Dirar . Therefore, Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) sent some people to Masjid Ad-Dirar to bring it down before he reached Al-Madinah.
"They are some people of the Ansar to whom Abu `Amir said, `Build a Masjid and prepare whatever you can of power and weapons, for I am headed towards Caesar, emperor of Rome, to bring Roman soldiers with whom I will expel Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH) and his companions.' When they built their Masjid, they went to the Prophet and said to him, "We finished building our Masjid and we would like you pray in it and invoke Allah for us for His blessings.''Allah revealed this verse.
They made it an outpost for those who warred against Allah and His Messenger .
