The As-Sajadah Mosque (Arabic: مسجد السجدة), also known as Asy-Syukr Mosque or Abi Dzar Mosque, is a Sunni Islam mosque, located 900 metres (3,000 ft) north of Al-Masjid an-Nabawi in Medina, Saudi Arabia.

The mosque is called "As-Sajadah" meaning "the prostration" because of an account of the Islamic prophet Muhammad prostrating here after hearing a good news from Gabriel regarding salawat.[1] The mosque is better known as Abi Dzar Mosque because it is on Abi Dzar street. It was renovated and expanded in 2000.
