The pillars were made of palm trees trunk to support the roof. There were also small stones laid on the masjid floor in order to prevent it from mud and dust. Prophet (S.A.W.W) also built a small shaded area at the rear of the masjid known as\u00a0As-Suffah<\/i>\u00a0where poor companions (Sahaba<\/i>) would come and spend their night. Two small huts like houses were also constructed on the eastern side of the masjid to accommodate Hazrat Ayesha (R.A) and Hazrat Sauda (R.A) known as\u00a0Hujra<\/i>\u00a0(small room).The masjid was constructed twice during the lifetime of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W.W). The first time masjid was built when he migrated to Madinah and the second time during the conquest of Khaybar.
