About Cave of the Prostration (Cave of Bani Haram)

This small cave lies on the western side of Mount Sal', above the lands of Banu Haram. According to tradition, Nabi Muhammad ﷺ spent nights in it during the siege of the Trench in 5 AH, keeping watch over the Muslim lines below, and it is remembered locally as a place where he prayed, which is why it is sometimes called the Cave of the Prostration. The cave is reached by a short climb from the area of Masjid Bani Haram. It is small and rocky, and it gives a sense of the hardship of those weeks on the mountain.
