A small mosque north-east of the centre linked by tradition to an answered supplication of the Prophet.
Masjid al-Ijabah, the Mosque of Response, is a small mosque to the north-east of Masjid an-Nabawi,. Tradition says the Prophet prayed here and that part of his supplication was answered, hence its name. The mosque is small, and its role is as a quiet stop for Muslim visitors between Madinah's larger sites. It stands a short drive from the central area. Hours follow prayer times. Non-Muslim access to the mosque interior is not documented; the exterior and street are public. Dress modestly and keep voices low when worshippers are present.
