Bashir bin AbdMundhir turned back from battle of Tabuk and later regretted his action and tied himself to the pillar in the mosque and swore not to eat or drink until he died or Allah (swt) accepted his repentance.He continued for 7 days until he fainted and Allah (swt) revealed to him the verse…wa akkaruna ../So the Prophet(saws) came to him and released him.This became the pillar of Abu Lobaabah – which is famous as the ‘pillar of repentance’ At this place recite two rak’ats namaz and then recite the following dua:
