MapHistory
The Prophet prayed at many different points in Medina. These points are particularly concentrated around Kuba; for the Prophet would visit the Kuba Mosque every Saturday and sometimes prayed at nearby points during these visits. In the narrations related to this place, the hadiths of the Kuba Mosque stand out: "Praying a single prayer in the Kuba Mosque is like performing Umrah" and "Whoever performs ablution well at home, then goes to the Kuba Mosque and prays there, will earn the reward as if they performed Umrah." Marking the points where the Prophet prayed with a mosque or a sign was a common tradition during the time of the companions and the successors; these places were visited for prayer and supplication.
