Al-Bukhārī and Muslim narrated from Abū Hurayra—may Allah be pleased with him—that the Messenger of Allah—peace and blessings be upon him—said: “May Allah destroy the Jews!

Whenever it restricted his breathing, he removed it. While in that state, he said: ‘May Allah’s curse be upon the Jews and Christians!

عنه قال: سمعتُ رسول الله ﷺ قبل أن يموت بخمسٍ وهو يقول: " إنِّي أبرأُ إلى الله أن يكون لي منكم خليل، فإنَّ الله قد اتَّخذني خليلاً كما اتَّخذ إبراهيم خليلاً، ولو كنتُ متَّخذاً من أمَّتِي خليلاً لاتَّخذتُ أبا بكر خليلاً، ألاَ وإنَّ مَن كان قبلكم كانوا يتَّخذون قبور أنبيائهم مساجد، ألا فلا تتَّخذوا القبورَ مساجد فإنِّي أنهاكم عن ذل ك "١. وروى البخاري ومسلم عن أبي هريرة ﵁: أنَّ رسول الله ﷺ قال: قاتل الله اليهودَ اتَّخذوا قبور أنبيائهم مساجد " ٢، وفي رواية لمسلم: " لعن الله اليهودَ والنصارى اتَّخذوا قبور أنبيائهم مساجد "٣. وروى البخاري عن عائشة وابن عباس ﵃ قالا: " لَمَّا نزل برسول الله ﷺ طفِق يطرح خميصةً له على وجهه، فإذا اغتمَّ بها كشفها، فقال وهو كذلك: لعنةُ الله على اليهود والنصارى اتخذوا قبورَ أنبيائهم مساجد، يُحذِّر ما صنعوا "٤. وقالت عائشة ﵂: قال رسول الله ﷺ في مرضه الذي لَم يقُم منه: " لعن الله اليهود والنصارى اتخذوا قبور أنبيائهم مساجد، ولولا ذلك لأُبرز قبرُه، غير أنَّه خشي أن يتخذ مسجداً "، رواه البخاري ومسلم٥. فقد نهى صلواتُ الله وسلامه عليه عن اتخاذ القبور مساجد في آخر
