وأَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ ، وَعَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ ، قَالَا : لَمَّا نَزَلَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ طَفِقَ يَطْرَحُ خَمِيصَةً لَهُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ ، فَإِذَا اغْتَمَّ كَشَفَهَا عَنْ وَجْهِهِ وَهُوَ كَذَلِكَ يَقُولُ : " لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْيَهُودِ وَالنَّصَارَى اتَّخَذُوا قُبُورَ أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ مَسَاجِدَ يُحَذِّرُ مَا صَنَعُوا " .
`Aisha and `Abdullah bin `Abbas said, "When Allah's Apostle became ill seriously, he started covering his face with his woolen sheet, and when he felt short of breath, he removed it from his face and said, 'That is so! Allah's curse be on the Jews and the Christians, as they took the graves of their prophets as (places of worship),' intending to warn (the Muslims) of what they had done."

Hadith Commentary:
The Jews and Christians used to prostrate at the graves of their prophets and, for the sake of honoring their status, would make them their qiblah (direction of prayer). Therefore, Muslims have been prohibited from this act.
Accordingly, in another hadith, this matter is further clarified.
Umm Habibah (radi Allahu anha) mentioned to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) a church which she had seen in Abyssinia, and in which there were also images.
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
“It was their custom that when a righteous man among them died, they would build a mosque over his grave and place images in it.
On the Day of Resurrection, these people will be the worst of all creatures in the sight of Allah.”
(Sahih al-Bukhari, Kitab al-Salat, Hadith: 434)
