Al-Rayah Mosque, or Dzubab Mosque, is a mosque located in Medina, Saudi Arabia. The mosque is situated on top of Mount Dzubab, and this area is not far from Mount Sala' on the south, Al-'Uyun street on the left hand side, and Az-Zugaibi gas station between Al-'Uyun street and Sulthanah street on the behind. It is narrated that there was a command post pitched for Prophet Muhammad in this area at the time of the Battle of the Trench, so it was named as Al-Rayah, which means battle flag. The mosque is also called the Dzubab Mosque because it is attributed to a Yemeni man who came to Medina during the time of Governor Marwan bin al-Hakam and killed one of the government officials. He was later executed and crucified on Mount Dzubab. ()
