Masjid Abdullah ibn Abbas

Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) was a cousin of the Prophet ﷺ and is known as the "scholar of the Ummah" for his transmissions in Quranic exegesis and hadith. Most accounts state that he died in Taif around 68 AH (about 687 CE) and was buried there. The mosque bears his name and is one of the historic sites of Taif. The building has been renewed over time. Detailed information about the exact position of the grave and the original structure is limited in the sources.

The mosque is in central Taif and can be reached by taxi. It is generally open during the day and can be busy at prayer times. Taif lies at high altitude and is often cooler than Makkah, but sun protection is still advisable. Separate areas and arrangements for women may exist; check locally.

Behave respectfully in the mosque and follow the order of the congregation. When visiting places associated with Companions, avoid touching graves, praying towards graves or seeking blessing from them; many scholars consider these practices without basis.
