Dome used to be white
It turns out that the dome has been white before its color is changes to dark green in 1817 during renovation of the musjad
The Prophet (صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم) said:
|
"Whoever performs forty times of prayer in my mosque (the Prophet's (Sallallahu Alaihi wa Sallam) mosque) with the congregation of the mosque, a statement of being exempt of the Hell-fire and a salvation from its torture will be written to him/her, and he/she is considered free from hypocrisy" [al-Musnad & al-Mu'jam] |
And We have not sent any Messenger but that he must be obeyed by the command of Allah. And, (O Beloved,) if they, having wronged their souls, had come to you imploring the forgiveness of Allah, and the Messenger (blessings and peace be upon him) had also asked forgiveness for them, then (owing to this mediation and intercession) they would certainly have found Allah Most Relenting, Ever-Merciful. |
