The masjid abi-Bakr (مسجد ابو بكر الصديق) is located at the south-western flank of the Prophet’s Mosque, near Masjid al-Ghamama. According to a tradition Muhammad prayed Al Eid prayer at this site, and abu Bakr after Him during His Caliphate, so it was attributed to Him. It is located to the north east of Masjid Nabwi.
