The builders of Masjid al-Dirar

A grown-up reads you the short text; the longer one you read yourself.

Twelve men of Medina's people, named by Ibn Ishaq as the builders of the mosque the Prophet ﷺ ordered razed — 'the mosque whose people wronged' on the Prophet's tongue.

Twelve men Ibn Ishaq names as the builders of the mosque the Prophet ﷺ ordered razed, of Medina's people and quarters: Khudham ibn Khalid, Tha'laba ibn Hatib, Mu'attib ibn Qushayr, Abu Habiba ibn al-Az'ar, Abbad ibn Hunayf, Jariya ibn Amir and his sons Mujammi' and Zayd, Nabtal ibn al-Harith, Bahzaj, Bijad ibn Uthman and Wadi'a ibn Thabit. Ibn Ishaq describes the mosque as 'the mosque whose people wronged' on the Prophet's tongue and records that a verse came down about them; the judgement on their intentions is quoted from the account, not the museum's word.
