Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 7756 — Sending blessings at the grave
٧٧٥٦ - حدثنا وكيع (١) ثنا هشام بن عروة عن (أبيه) (٢) عن عائشة أنهم تذاكروا عند رسول اللَّه ﷺ في مرضه، فذكرت أم سلمة أو أم حبيبة كنيسة (رأتها) (٣) في أرض الحبشة (فيها) (٤) تصاوير فقال النبي ﷺ: "أولئك كانوا إذا كان فيهم الرجل الصالح فمات بنوا على قبره مسجدا وصوروه، أولئك شرار الخلق (عند اللَّه) (٥) " (٦).
Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: People were talking in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) during his final illness. Sayyidah Umm Salamah or Umm Habibah (may Allah be pleased with them) mentioned that she had seen a church in Abyssinia in which there were pictures. On hearing this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It was the practice of those people that when a righteous man among them passed away, they would make his grave a place of prostration and make pictures of him. These people are the worst of creation."
