Arabic (Original)
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.
English Translation
Hashim told us: Abu Mu'awiyah — meaning Shayban — told us, from Hilal ibn Abi Humayd al-Ansari, from Urwah ibn al-Zubayr, from A'isha, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said during his illness from which he did not recover: "May Allah curse the Jews and the Christians, for they took the graves of their prophets as places of worship." She said: Had it not been for that, his grave would have been left exposed, but it was feared that it might be taken as a place of worship.
