Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَارِمُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَوَانَةَ عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ 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 وَقَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ لَوْلَا ذَلِكَ أَبْرَزَ قَبْرَهُ وَلَكِنَّهُ خَشِيَ أَنْ يُتَّخَذَ مَسْجِدًا.
English Translation
Arim ibn al-Fadl told us, Abu Awana told us, from Hilal ibn Abi Humayd, 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 rise: "May Allah curse the Jews and the Christians; they took the graves of their prophets as places of worship." He said: And Aisha said: "Were it not for that, his grave would have been left exposed, but he feared that it would be taken as a place of worship."
