Arabic (Original)
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 قُلْتُ وَلَوْلَا ذَلِكَ أُبْرِزَ قَبْرُهُ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ خَشِيَ أَنْ يُتَّخَذَ مَسْجِدًا.
English Translation
Affan told us: Abu Awana told us: Hilal ibn Abi Humayd told us, from Urwa ibn al-Zubayr, from Aisha, 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; they took the graves of their prophets as places of worship.' She said: I said: Had it not been for that, his grave would have been left exposed, but it was feared that it would be taken as a place of worship.
