Um Habiba and Um Salama mentioned a church they had seen in Ethiopia and in
the church there were pictures. When they told the Prophet of this, he said,
"Those people are such that if a pious man amongst them died, they build a
place of worship over his grave and paint these pictures in it. Those people
will be Allah's worst creatures on the Day of Resurrection."

'Aisha said, "The Prophet said during his fatal illness, 'Allah cursed the
Jews for they took the graves of their prophets as places for worship.' "
'Aisha added, "Had it not been for that (statement of the Prophet) his grave
would have been made conspicuous. But he was afraid that it might be taken
as a place for worship."

On his death-bed Allah's Apostle put a sheet over his face and when he felt
hot, he would remove it from his face. When in that state (of putting and
removing the sheet) he said, "May Allah's Curse be on the Jews and the
Christians for they build places of worship at the graves of their
prophets." (By that) he intended to warn (the Muslim) from what they (i.e.
Jews and Christians) had done.

Allah's Apostle in his fatal illness said, "Allah cursed the Jews and the
Christians, for they built the places of worship at the graves of their
prophets." And if that had not been the case, then the Prophet's grave would
have been made prominent before the people. So (the Prophet ) was afraid, or
the people were afraid that his grave might be taken as a place for worship.
SAHIH AL MUSLIM
1. HADITH NO : 1083 NARATED BY : JUNDUB IBN ABDULLAH
I heard from the Apostle of Allah (peace be upon him) five days before his
death and he said: I stand acquitted before Allah that I took anyone 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
AbuBakr 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.
2. HADITH NO : 2116 NARATED BY : JABIR IBN ABDULLA
Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) forbade that the graves should be
plastered, or they be used as sitting places (for the people), or a building
should be built over them.
3. HADITH NO: 2114
NARATED BY : FADALAH IBN UBAYD
Thumamah ibn Shafayy reported: When we were with Fadalah ibn Ubayd in the
country of the Romans at a place (known as) Rudis, a friend of ours died.
Fadalah ibn Ubayd ordered to prepare a grave for him and then it was
levelled; and then he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon
him) commanding (us) to level the grave.
4. HADITH NO: 2115
NARATED BY : ALI IBN ABU TALIB
AbulHayyaj al-Asadi told that Ali ibn AbuTalib said to him: Should I not
send you on the same mission as Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) sent
me? Do not leave an image without obliterating it, or a high grave without
levelling it. This hadith has been reported by Habib with the same chain of
transmitters and he said: (do not leave) a picture without obliterating it.
May Allah guide us in the straight path!
Allaahumma Yahdeenaa wa Billaahe at-Towfeeq.
"O Allah, guide us and verily in Allah is all success"
