Question:
This questioner says: What is the response to the doubt regarding building over the grave of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and Abu Bakr and 'Umar?
Answer:
Nothing was built over the Messenger, nor over Abu Bakr and 'Umar. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was buried in the room of 'A'ishah, the residence of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), out of fear of excess regarding him, because if he had been buried with his companions in a prominent place, people would have fought over him. So he was buried in his house to protect him.
To protect him. 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said, when she narrated the hadithSunan an-Nasa'i 703Sahih (Darussalam), she said: "And were it not for that, his grave would have been made prominent, but it was feared that it would be taken as a mosque." So he was buried in his house to protect him from excess; no one sees it and no one enters it, to protect him (peace and blessings be upon him). Abu Bakr and 'Umar were buried with him as an honor to them, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) loved them intensely, so they were buried with him (may Allah be pleased with them). Yes.

May Allah curse the Jews and Christians, for they took the graves of their Prophets as places of worship.
لعنه الله على اليهود والنصارى اتخذوا قبور انبيائهم مساجد
