Sahih al-Jami al-Saghir — Hadith 2745

«أيها الناس إنه قد كان لي فيكم إخوة وأصدقاء وإني أبرأ إلى الله أن يكون لي فيكم خليل ولو كنت متخذا من أمتي خليلا لاتخذت أبا بكر خليلا وإن ربي اتخذني خليلا كما اتخذ إبراهيم خليلا ألا إن من كان قبلكم كانوا يتخذون قبور أنبيائهم وصالحيهم مساجد ألا فلا تتخذوا القبور مساجد إني أنهاكم عن ذلك»
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"O people! I have indeed had many brothers and friends among you, and I declare before Allah that I am free of having any of you as my khalil (intimate friend). And if I were to take anyone from my Ummah as a khalil, I would certainly have taken Abu Bakr as a khalil. And indeed my Lord has taken me as His khalil just as He took Ibrahim (peace be upon him) as His khalil. Listen! Those before you used to take the graves of their prophets and righteous people as places of prostration (mosques). Beware! Do not take graves as places of prostration; I strictly forbid you from that."
