All that remains of the mosque today are the baked brick minaret (25 meters (82 ft)) and the prayer hall (haram) façade with eleven arches that were added by Nur ad-Din Zangi during the 1165 renovation of the mosque.
There used to be a small shrine in the center attributed to Wabisa ibn Ma'bad al-Asadi.
DigitalGlobe satellite imagery illustrated that between October 2013 and February 2014, the small Ottoman-period shrine built in 1836 CE, around the purported grave of Wabisa ibn Ma'bad al-Asadi, a companion of Muhammad, was bulldozed.
