Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمٌ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ يَعْنِي شَيْبَانَ عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ
وَسَلَّمَ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَقُمْ مِنْهُ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَى فَإِنَّهُمْ اتَّخَذُوا قُبُورَ أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ مَسَاجِدَ قَالَتْ وَلَوْلَا ذَلِكَ أُبْرِزَ قَبْرُهُ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ خَشِيَ أَنْ يُتَّخَذَ مَسْجِدًا

English Translation
It was narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that during his final illness, the Prophet ﷺ said: 'May Allah curse the Jews and Christians, for they took the graves of their prophets as places of worship.' She said: 'Were it not for that, his grave would have been made visible, but it was feared it would be taken as a place of worship.'
