زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا

أَبِي ، عَنْ
عَائِشَةَ ، أَنَّ أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ وَأُمَّ سَلَمَةَ ، ذَكَرَتَا كَنِيسَةً رَأَيْنَهَا بِالْحَبَشَةِ ، فِيهَا تَصَاوِيرُ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ أُولَئِكِ إِذَا كَانَ فِيهِمُ الرَّجُلُ الصَّالِحُ فَمَاتَ ، بَنَوْا عَلَى قَبْرِهِ مَسْجِدًا ، وَصَوَّرُوا فِيهِ تِلْكِ الصُّوَرَ ، أُولَئِكِ شِرَارُ الْخَلْقِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " .
'A'isha reported: Umm Habiba and Umm Salamah made a mention before the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) of a church which they had seen in Abyssinia and which had pictures in it. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: When a pious person amongst them (among the religious groups) dies they build a place of worship on his grave, and then decorate it with such pictures. They would be the worst of creatures on the Day of Judgment in the sight of Allah.

Hadith 528
حَدَّثَنَا
أَبُو كُرَيْبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا
أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا
هِشَامٌ ، عَنْ
أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ
عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : ذَكَرْنَ أَزْوَاجُ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَنِيسَةً ، رَأَيْنَهَا بِأَرْضِ الْحَبَشَةِ ، يُقَالُ لَهَا : مَارِيَةُ ، بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِهِمْ .
'A'isha reported: The wives of the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) (may peace be Upon him) made a mention of the church which they had seen in Abyssinia which was called Marya, and the rest of the hadith is the same.
Hadith 529
'A'isha reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said during his illness from which he never recovered: Allah cursed the Jews and the Christians that they took the graves of their prophets as mosques. She ('A'isha) reported: Had it not been so, his (Prophet's) grave would have been in an open place, but it could not be due to the fear that it may not be taken as a mosque.

Hadith 530

Hadith 531
'A'isha and'Abdullah reported: As the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was about to breathe his last, he drew his sheet upon his face and when he felt uneasy, he uncovered his face and said in that very state: Let there be curse upon the Jews and the Christians that they have taken the graves of their apostles as places of worship. He in fact warned (his men) against what they (the Jews and the Christians) did.
Hadith 532
Jundub reported: I heard from the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) five days before his death and he said: I stand acquitted before Allah that I took any one of you as friend, for Allah has taken me as His friend, as he took Ibrahim as His friend. Had I taken any one of my Ummah as a friend, I would have taken Abu Bakr (RA) as a friend. Beware of those who preceded you and used to take the graves of their prophets and righteous men as places of worship, but you must not take graves as mosques; I forbid you to do that.
