Masjid Namirah and what is attributed to it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, is there a mosque that is mentioned in the sense that the city of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) will be in the surah of the mosque, a surah that commands the reward of thunder?

Answer:
No, what is the mosque? It is the place where the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) descended. The specific place where he (peace and blessings be upon him) descended was not defined; rather, it is seen that he descended in the bottom of a valley, but it was not specified. This mosque was established after the Rightly Guided Caliphs, during the days of the Banu Abbas. Its name, Masjid Ibrahim, is not Ibrahim al-Khalil (peace be upon him), as some people imagine, but rather Ibrahim al-Abbas, whose name was Ibrahim, so they named this mosque after him, no more and no less. There is no virtue for this mosque or belief in its blessing, but people gather in it for the sake of praying with the imam, only for the sake of praying with the imam and listening to the sermon. It is not for the sake of this mosque having a virtue or a special quality. No, if one believes this, then it is written.
