A great fire breaks out in the Prophet's Mosque
On 1 Ramadan of 654 AH (1256), a fire broke out in the Prophet's Mosque and caused extensive damage. Repairs begun by the Abbasid caliph al-Musta'sim, who sent materials and craftsmen with the Iraqi pilgrim caravan, were cut short by Hulagu's capture of Baghdad and continued under the Mamluks.
