The Bay'ah Mosque (Template:Lang-ar), also known as the Mosque of 'Aqaba Hill, is a mosque outside Mecca in Saudi Arabia.[1][2] It was built at the request of Caliph Abu Ja'far al-Mansur in 761 AD at the site of al-Bay'ah, i.e. the place where the Prophet Muhammad met with the Ansar (the supporters), and they took the pledge ('bay'ah', hence the name) of 'Aqaba.
The mosque has an open courtyard. It is located below the Wadi Mina.
