Has the Prophet’s Mosque been burned more than once?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
With us. We have heard that the residence of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was burned more than once, until all its landmarks were destroyed, to the point that the door of the grave was no longer known. This was mentioned in the Arab magazine in a specific issue. Did this actually happen, or is it just talk? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
A fire did occur in the mosque, but the details of that are found in history. I do not memorize the details to elaborate on them. The fire happened, but the details are found in the history of Madinah, specifically the detailed history of the Prophet’s Mosque.
