In [[240]]/854-5, it was destroyed by flood and then a mosque was built in its place and an embankment was built to protect the mosque. The length of this mosque until then was 120 meters and its width was fifty five meters and its whole area was more than 6380 square meters which made it among the biggest mosques of the peninsula and was even bigger than [[al-Masjid al-Haram]] at that time. | In [[240]]/854-5, it was destroyed by flood and then a mosque was built in its place and an embankment was built to protect the mosque.

After great damages were made to it by Sultan Qaytabay, one of the Mamluk kings of [[Egypt]], this mosque was reconstructed in [[874]]/1469-70 and its walls were made of stone and plaster. Also, a big and high dome was built over its [[Mihrab]], as well as another dome which was made in the middle of the mosque. The old great building of the mosque was still standing until recent decades, but out of it, only four colorless walls and a dome in the middle had remained which also had a minaret called Maqam of Ibrahim. During its reconstruction in 1392/1972, many Rawaqs were made for it and its total area reached 23660 square meters.<ref>Jaʿfariyān, ''Āthār-i islāmi-yi Makka wa Madīna'', p. 139-140.</ref> | After great damages were made to it by Sultan Qaytabay, one of the Mamluk kings of [[Egypt]], this mosque was reconstructed in [[874]]/1469-70 and its walls were made of stone and plaster.

In [[1407]]/1986-7, the plan for expansion of the mosque began and its area reached about twenty five thousand square meters. Today, four minarets which are very distant from each other have given a beautiful look to this mosque on the way to the three [[Jamara]]s. The door of this mosque is only open during the time of [[Staying in Mina]] and is closed almost the rest of the year.<ref>[https://hajj.ir/fa/content/id/id=26368/token=ca40e0e8773f14748e011712cc8dcc5bd616a676 Website of Hajj and Pilgrimage Organization].</ref> | In [[1407]]/1986-7, the plan for expansion of the mosque began and its area reached about twenty five thousand square meters.
