The first major fire in Al-Masjid an-Nabawi (the Prophet's Mosque) occurred on 1 Ramazan 654 AH (1256 CE) during the final years of the Abbasid Caliphate, under the reign of Caliph Al-Musta'sim Billah (often transliterated or formatted in competitive exam question banks as Motasim Billah or Al-Mu'tasim).
The fire started accidentally due to a lamp or candle left unattended by a mosque attendant in a storeroom.

The Caliph immediately sent resources, materials, and builders from Baghdad to initiate its reconstruction.
