Medina is home to many Islamic historical sites closely associated with the journey of the Prophet Muhammad. It has witnessed various feats and stories documented in Islamic history and mentioned in the noble hadiths.
Among these places is the Banu Anif Mosque, located southwest of the Guba Mosque. It is a well-known site for visitors to Medina during their religious journeys for Hajj and Umrah.
Historical researcher Fuad bin Zaif Allah al-Maghamisi said that the mosque belongs to the Banu Anif people, who have alliances with Banu Amr bin Awf from the Aws people, the people of Quba, adding that it is said that the Prophet Muhammad visited the great companion Talha Al-Bara there.
During the reign of King Salman, the Banu Anif Mosque underwent restoration that preserved the form of its historic stone building. This was part of a restoration project that included several historical mosques in the Kingdom as a whole and Medina in particular, within the framework of the Saudi National Program for the Care of Historical Mosques.
The Banu Anif Mosque is open to worshippers and visitors around the clock, and many historians and researchers interested in the journey of the Prophet Muhammad frequently visit this site.
