After arriving in Quba, the very first task which Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) undertook was the laying of the foundation of a musjid. Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) carried a stone with his own blessed hands and placed it in the direction of the Qiblah.

After Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) placed the first stone, Hazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) and then Hazrat Umar (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) also placed a stone each in the same direction. Thereafter, the other Sahaabah (radhiyallahu ‘anhum) began to bring and place stones. In this manner, the construction of the musjid commenced.
