The Mīqāt Dhu al-Ḥulayfah (Arabic: مِيْقَات ذُو ٱلْحُلَيْفَة), also known as Masjid ash-Shajarah (Arabic: مَسْجِد ٱلشَّجَرَة, lit. 'Mosque of the Tree') or Masjid Dhu al-Hulayfah (Arabic: مَسْجِد ذُو ٱلْحُلَيْفَة), is a miqat and mosque in Abyār ʿAlī, Medina, west of Wadi al-'Aqiq, where the final Islamic prophet, Muhammad, entered the state of ihram before performing 'Umrah, after the Treaty of Hudaybiyyah.[1] The mosque is located 7 km (4.3 miles) SW of the Al-Masjid an-Nabawi and was defined by Muhammad as the miqat for those willing to perform the Hajj or Umrah pilgrimages from Medina.[1][2] It is the second-largest miqat mosque after the Miqat Qarn al-Manazil in As-Sayl al-Kabir.
