Worshipping graves

0

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، أَنَّ أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ، وَأُمَّ سَلَمَةَ ذَكَرَتَا كَنِيسَةً رَأَيْنَهَا بِالْحَبَشَةِ فِيهَا تَصَاوِيرُ، فَذَكَرَتَا لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى اللّٰه عليه وسلم فَقَالَ: إِنَّ أُولَئِكَ إِذَا كَانَ فِيهِمُ الرَّجُلُ الصَّالِحُ فَمَاتَ بَنَوْا عَلَى قَبْرِهِ مَسْجِدًا، وَصَوَّرُوا فِيهِ تِلْكَ الصُّوَرَ، فَأُولَئِكَ شِرَارُ الْخَلْقِ عِنْدَ اللّٰهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ.

Hazrat Aishara narrated, “Umm Habiba and Umm Salama mentioned a church they had seen in Abyssinia, which contained images. They told the Prophetsa about it, whereupon he said, ‘Those people, when a righteous man among them dies, they build a place of worship over his grave and create those images in it. Such people will be the worst of all creatures in the sight of Allah on the Day of Resurrection.’”
