You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.197.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 10:52, 20 August 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Al-Ṣuffah''' (((lang-ar|الصُّفّة))), or ''Dikkat Ashab As-Suffah'' (((lang|ar|دِكَّة أَصْحَاب الصُّفَّة))) was a sheltered raised platform<ref name="madainsuffah"></ref> that was available at the rear side of the [[Al-Masjid an-Nabawi|Prophet's Mosque]]<ref name="madainsuffah"></ref> during the [[Muhammad in Medina|Medina period]] (622-632) of early [[Islam]]. It was initially available at the northeastern corner of the mosque and [[Muhammad]] ordered it to be covered by palm leaves in order to provide shade, hence it was called ''al-Suffah'' or ''al-Ẓullah'' (((lang|ar|الظلة))) "the shade". It was moved several decades later into another place in the mosque during an expansion project.

Homeless and unmarried [[Muhajirun]] ([[companions of the Prophet]] who migrated from [[Mecca]]) who did not have relatives in [[Medina]], dwelt in al-Suffah where they were mainly learning the [[Quran]] and [[Sunnah]]. These people were called ''Aṣhab al-Ṣuffah'' "Companions of the Ṣuffah".

==Legacy==
Muhammad used to sit with them, chat together, and used to call them to his meal, sharing together his drinks, so they were counted as his dependents. The [[Companions of the Prophet]] used to take two or three of the Ashab al-Suffah to feed them at home and used to select the best dates and hang them out in al-Suffah's ceiling for meals.

Due to the scarcity of jobs caused by a combination of trade boycott and military threat,<ref name="IE">((cite web|title=Ahl Al Suffah أهل الصفة|url=http://islamicencyclopedia.org/islamic-pedia-topic.php?id=88|website=Islamic Encyclopedia|accessdate=14 March 2017|date=13 October 2014))</ref> members of Ashab al-Suffah had little income. It is estimated that al-Suffah held up to 300 people at a time, but they were merely increasing and decreasing in numbers.<ref>((Cite web|url=http://www.islamiclandmarks.com/madinah-masjid-e-nabwi/ashab-us-suffah-platform|title=Ashab us-Suffah platform|website=Islamic Landmarks|language=en-GB|access-date=2016-03-11))</ref> They could have reached about 400 total members, and it lasted about nine years till they became rich before the death of  Muhammad. Later, every one of them became a ruler or an [[emir]].((Citation needed|date=May 2023))

== Location ==
The Suffah was originally situated in the north-east corner of the Mosque. When Muhammad was ordered by [[Allah]] to change the [[qibla]] (prayer direction) to be towards Mecca at the south of Medina, the Suffah was left at the rear of the mosque, where it remained.

When [[al-Walid I]], the [[Umayyad Caliphate|Umayyad Caliph]], expanded the mosque, Al-Suffah's location was changed to where it is now called: ''Dikkat Al-Aghwat''.((Citation needed|date=May 2023))
