According to Ar-Rahīq al-Makhtum (the Sealed Nectar), a modern Islamic hagiography of Muhammad written by the Indian Muslim author Saif ur-Rahman Mubarakpuri, a Mosque called Masjid-e-Darar (the mosque of harm) was created by the Munafiq (hypocrites). When the mosque was completely built,, the creators approached Muhammad and asked him to pray in it. But Muhammad put the request on hold till his return from the Battle of Tabuk. Mubarakpuri claims that through a "Divine Revelation", Muhammad was told that Mosque was promoting anti-Islamic elements. Thus, on Muhammads return from Tabuk, he sent a part of Muslim fighters to demolish the mosque.

William Muir mentions that the Mosque was created to draw of people from another Mosque i.e Masjid al-Quba, which was the first Mosque ever built by Muhammad.
