Masjid al-Khayf

• Masjid al-Khayf is a masjid whose virtues are proven in some Hadith. According to a traceable Hadith of Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) said: “ Seventy Prophets prayed in Masjid al-Khayf.” [Majma‘ uz-Zawahid]
• Yazeed bin Aswad (may Allah be pleased with him) says that when he performed Hajj with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him), it was at the Masjid al-Khayf that he performed the Fajr salah with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him).
• Abdur -Rahman bin Mu’ adh (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) delivered a sermon in Mina, he instructed the Muhajireen to set up camp in front of the Masjid al-Khayf and the Ansar to set up camp behind it. The rest of the Muslims were to camp behind them. [Abu Dawood]
• Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that it was in Masjid al-Khayf that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) addressed them. After praising Allah he said: “ Allah will set right the affairs of the person whose prime concern is the Aakhirah (Hereafter), Allah will also grant him self-sufficiency and the world will humble itself before him. As for the person whose prime concern is this world, Allah will scatter his affairs, place poverty in front of him and all he will get of this world will be what has been predestined for him.“ [Tabraani]
