3: The prohibition of building Masajid over graves and placing images therein;
and the prohibition of taking graves as Masajid.
'A'isha reported:
Umm Habiba and Umm Salama
made a mention before the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) of a church which they had
seen in Abyssinia and which had pictures in it. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said: When a pious person amongst them (among the religious groups) dies they
build a place of worship on his grave, and then decorate it with such pictures.
They would be the worst of creatures on the Day of judgment in the sight of
Allah. (Explaining

of Allah (may peace be Upon him) made a mention of the church which they had

'A'isha reported:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said during his illness from which he never recovered: Allah cursed the Jews
and the Christians that they took the graves of their prophets as mosques. She
('A'isha) reported: Had it not been so, his (Prophet's) grave would have been
in an open place, but it could not be due to the fear that it may not be taken
as a mosque. (Explaining

As the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) was about to breathe his last, he drew his sheet upon his face and when he
felt uneasy, he uncovered his face and said in that very state: Let there be
curse upon the Jews and the Christians that they have taken the graves of their
apostles as places of worship. He in fact warned (his men) against what they
(the Jews and the Christians) did. (Explaining

Jundub reported:
I heard from the Messenger
of Allah (ﷺ) five days before his death and he said: I stand acquitted before
Allah that I took any one of you as friend, for Allah has taken me as His
friend, as he took Ibrahim as His friend. Had I taken any one of my Ummah as a
friend, I would have taken Abu Bakr as a friend. Beware of those who preceded
you and used to take the graves of their prophets and righteous men as places
of worship, but you must not take graves as mosques; I forbid you to do that. (Explaining
