Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
The mosque in Tabuk is called the Mosque of Repentance (Masjid al-), and it was built by Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz. It is not correct to attribute it to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, or to call it the Mosque of the Messenger.
