Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that Umm Habibah and Umm Salamah both mentioned a church which they had seen in Abyssinia, and there were pictures in it. They mentioned this to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), so he said: Their custom was that when a righteous man among them died, they would build a place of worship over his grave and make such images in it. These people will be the worst of creation in the sight of Allah on the Day of Resurrection.
