Hadith 24513

حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ يَعْنِي شَيْبَانَ , عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَقُمْ مِنْهُ : " لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَى ، فَإِنَّهُمْ اتَّخَذُوا قُبُورَ أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ مَسَاجِدَ " . قَالَتْ : وَلَوْلَا ذَلِكَ ، أُبْرِزَ قَبْرُهُ ، غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ خَشِيَ أَنْ يُتَّخَذَ مَسْجِدًا .
It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha that the Prophet (peace be upon him), during his illness from which he did not recover, said: "May Allah's curse be upon the Jews and Christians; they made the graves of their prophets places of prostration." Hazrat Aisha says that the Prophet (peace be upon him) only feared that his grave might be made a place of prostration, otherwise there would have been no harm in leaving the blessed grave open.
