Seventy of the companions, including the Master of Martyrs, Hamza ibn Abdul Muttalib (RA), were martyred in this battle. Next we visit Bani Haritha Mosque, or Masjid Al-Mustarah. It is also called Bani Haritha Mosque because it is located among houses belonging to the tribe. This is where Prophet (SAW) took rest once, during the return home from the Battle of Uhud. Then we head towards Masjid Al Dira. This is another small mosque linked to the battle of Uhud. The mosque is called al-Dira, means the armour or coat, because, as part of his preparations for the battle, is said to have worn his armour (dira) right there. We then visit the Seven Mosques (al-Masajid as-Sab'a). These mosques are located on the western side of the Mount Sela' when part of the trench was dug by Muslims in the time of Prophet (SAW) to defend Medina, when the Quraish marched in with the tribes in the fifth year of Hijra. These mosques are built on the known sites of troops stationed and monitoring sites of the battle in 627 CE. Lunch on your own. Then we continue the tour to visit Al-Ghars Well. This was one of the wells that was favored by the Prophet (SAW) due to the freshness of its water. The Prophet (SAW) drank from the well, made wudhu with its water and requested that he be washed using its water after his demise. Next we visit the Al-Faqir Well, historically known as the Salman Al Farsi Well. The well is historically connected to Prophet (SAW) and his companion Salman Al-Farsi (RA). Originally, it was a part of an orchard where Salman Al-Farsi used to work. Then we move to Al-Hajim well & date farm. The well has also become a notable landmark for visitors keen to learn about the origins of Islamic history. However, it is believed to date back to before the advent of Islam. It was narrated that the Prophet (SAW) also drank from Al-Hajim. Before we return to the hotel, we shall stop at the Souq Al Kamasha. It is one of the most important ancient and historical archaeological souqs that historians have stated that the history of the market stretches for more than 430 years.
