Hadith 24895

حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا هِلَالُ بْنُ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ، قَالَتْ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَقُمْ مِنْهُ : " لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَى ، اتَّخَذُوا قُبُورَ أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ مَسَاجِدَ " , قَالَ : قَالَتْ : وَلَوْلَا ذَلِكَ أُبْرِزَ قَبْرُهُ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ خُشِيَ 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.
