(The place called) Sokaifat Bani Saedah



Dari Masjid Abu Dzar saya berjalan kaki 1 km menghala ke barat kemudian membelok ke selatan menyusuri sebuah jalan yang selari dengan sisi kanan Masjid Nabawi. Ketika berjalan itulah saya terlihat sebuah taman kecil yang rupa-rupanya ada sejarah tersendiri.
From the mosque of Abu Dzar I walked 1 km heading to the west then turned south following a road which runs parallel to the right side of Masjid (mosque of) Nabawi. While walking there that I saw a small garden which has its own unique history.


Ia terletak di atas tanah yang dipanggil Sokaifat Bani Saedah. Di sinilah sahabat utama Nabi iaitu Saidina Abu Bakar as-Siddiq pertama kali dibai'at orang ramai untuk menjadi khalifah pertama Islam, sejurus selepas Nabi wafat lalu umat Islam memerlukan ketua yang baru.
It is located on a land called the Sokaifat Bani Saedah. It was here that the main companion of the Prophet (Muhammad SAW) which is Saidina Abu Bakar as-Siddiq was first given the bai'at, pledge of allegiance from the public to become the first khalifah (deputy to the Prophet, leader to others) of Islam,  just after the Prophet passed away and the Muslim community needed a new leader.
