Taking graves as
masajid is the way of the Jews and the Christians
1- From Ayesha that Umm Salamaah mentioned to the
Messenger - sallAllaahu alayhi wa
sallam – about a church she saw in
Ethiopia. It was said that it was called
Mareeya. She mentioned to him what she
saw of the pictures inside it. The
Messenger Allaah - sallAllaahu alayhi wa
sallam – said : ‘They are a people,
that if a righteous worshipper or a righteous man dies among them then they
build a place of worship on his grave, and then they paint these pictures in
it, they are the most evil of creation with Allaah.’
Narrated by Bukharee (v.2 p.78) & (v.3 p.451), Muslim (v.5 p.11)
and in it, Umm Habibah and Umm Salamah both mention the church, narrated by
Ahmad (v.3 p.74) from the tarteeb of ‘al-Musnad’.
2- From Ayesha and Abdullah bin Abbas - radiAllaah anhu - who
both said : in the last moments of his life, the Messenger of Allaah - sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – would throw a thick piece of cloth on his face, and
if it became difficult for him to
breathe, he would uncover it, and say even though he was in that sick state: “May the curse of Allaah be upon the Jews and
the Christians ; they took the graves of their prophets as places of
worship." Warn against what they did.’
Narrated by Bukharee (v.2 p.78), Muslim (v.5
p.12), Ahmad (v.3 p. 73) from the tarteeb of ‘al-Musnad’[1]
3- From Abu Huraira - radiAllaah anhu - that the Messenger of Allaah said: “May Allaah
kill the Jews, they took the graves of their Prophets as places of worship.”
Narrated by Bukharee (v.2 p.79), Muslim (v.5 p.12)
and he had an extra wording from the narration of Yazeed bin al-Assum: “and the
Christians”, Abu Dawood (v.3 p.210) an-Nisaaee (v.4 p.78), Ahmad (v.8 p.152)
from tarteeb of ‘al-Musnad’.
4- From Ayesha - radiAllaah anha - on the authority of the Prophet - sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – said during his illness from which he died:
“ “May Allaah kill the Jews they took
the graves of their Prophets as places of worship.”
She said: ‘and if it was not for that then his
grave would have been raised, except that it was feared that it would have been
taken as a place of prayer.’
Narrated by Bukharee (v.3 p.444), Muslim (v.5
p.12) & Ahmad (v.8 p.454) tarteeb of Sa’atee.
5- From Usama’ bin Zayid that the Messenger of Allaah
- sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – said during his illness from which he died: “Call
my Companions to me.” So they entered upon him and he was covered with a narrow
piece of clothing, and he said: “May Allaah curse the Jews! They took the
graves of their Prophets as places of worship.”
Narrated by Abu Dawood at-Tayyalisee (v.2 p.113),
Ahmad (v.5 p.203) and in it is an extra
wording of ‘Christians’ by one of the two
shaykhs of Imaam Ahmad, al-Haythamee said (v.2 p.27): narrated by Ahmad &
Tabranee in ‘al-Kabeer’ and it s narrators are trustworthy.
6 – From Zayd bin
Thaabit that the Messenger of Allaah -
sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – said: May Allaah
curse the Jews! They took the graves of their Prophets as places of worship.
Narrated by Ahmad
(v.5 p.184 & 186), and some of the narrators used the word 'curse' in place
of 'kill/fight'.
Haythamee said in
'Mua'jam al-Zawaid' : the narrators are
trustworthy.
7 – From Abu
Ubaydah who said: The last of what the Prophet - sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – said was:
Get rid of the
Jews from the Ahl-ul-Hijjaz and Ahl-ul-Najraan from the Arabian Peninsula, and
know that the evilest people are those who took their Prophet's graves as
places of worship.
Narrated by
Ahmad (v.1 p.195), Haythamee said in 'Mua'jam al-Zawaid' (v.5 p.325) :
narrated by Ahmad & Tabraani with
different chains, and narrators of two of the chains are thiqaat and their
insnaads are connected , and it was narrated
by Abu Ya'ala,and Haythamee also
said (v.2 p.28) : narrated by al-Bazzar & its narrators are thiqaat and in it is : 'may Allaah curse the Jews....'
to the end of the hadeeth.
8 – From Alee ibn
Abee Taalib who said: The Prophet said to me while he was in his sickness from
which he died from: 'Permit the people to come in .' so I permitted the people
to come in.
He said: 'May
Allaah curse the people who took the graves of their Prophets as places of
prayer.' He said this three times during
his sickness from which he died.
Haythamee said in
'mua'jam al-zawaid' (v.2 p.28) narrated
by Bazzar, and in it is Abu ar-Raqqad, no one narrated from him except Haneef
al-Moothin, and the rest of the narrators are trustworthy.
9 – From al-Hasan
bin al-Hasan bin Abee Taalib who said: that the Messenger of Allaah - sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – do not take my
house as a place of Eid (regularly visited) and do not make you're
houses into graves, and send prayers upon me, indeed your prayers reach me from
wherever you are, may Allah curse the Jews and Christians, they took the graves
of their prophets as places of worship.
This hadeeth is
mursal narrated by Sa'eed ibn Mansoor, as is mentioned in 'Iqtida Siraat
ul-Mustaqeem' (p.323)
10- Al-Bukhaaree
- may Allaah have mercy upon him - said in 'at-Tareekh' (v.2 p.186):
Abdullaah bin
Abee Shaybah al-Abbsee said to me : Zayed bin Hubbab narrated to us, who said; Ja'far bin Ibraheem who was
the son of Dhee al-Jinaah -ayeen, who said: 'Alee bin Umar on the
authority of his father who on the
authority of 'Alee bin Hussain who
narrated to me, that he saw a man come to a gap which was near the grave of the
Messenger of Allaah -
sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam – and he entered it
and supplicated, so he called him and said: ' Shall I not mention to you a
hadeeth which I heard from my father on the authority of my grandfather on the authority of the
Prophet - sallAllaahu alayhi wa
sallam – who said : 'do not take my grave as a place of Eid ( regularly
visited).
All
Praise belongs to Allaah, may His peace and blessings be upon our final Prophet
Muhammad, his family, his companions and all those who follow his guidance.
[1] Al-Hafidah said in ‘al-Fath’
: It was as if he - sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam - knew that he would pass away from that sickness, so fearing that
his grave would be glorified, like those people who did so in the past,
therefore he cursed the Jews and the Christians as an indication to rebuke the
one who does what they did.
