مسجد بني زريق, Historic mosque in Medina, Saudi Arabia.

The Bani Zuraiq Mosque stands in southern Medina, bordered by the Prophet's Mosque to the north and the date market to the south.

The mosque holds the distinction of being the first location where the Holy Quran was read, marking a significant moment in Islamic history.

The building served as a gathering point for early Muslims and a farewell location where Prophet Muhammad bid goodbye to his companions.

The mosque is located near the courthouse complex and Abdul Mohsen bin Abdulaziz Road, making it accessible for visitors to the Prophet's Mosque.

The mosque earned the name Masjid as-Sabaq due to its connection with horse races organized between trained and untrained horses.
