Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reader: "Just as the funeral prayer is specific to the believers. And it is well established in the authentic collections that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sahih Muslim 529 He warned against what they did".
The Shaykh : And is it permissible, if we see a group of people who have taken the graves of the prophets, or those they claim to be awliya (close friends of Allah), as mosques, is it permissible for us to curse them?
It is possible, because the cause is the same. So if we see a group of people who built a mosque over the graves of those they claim to be a prophet or a wali (close friend of Allah) and took them as mosques, then we may say: O Allah, curse the one who did this, the one who took their graves as mosques, but we do not specify the individual. Yes.
The reader: "Aisha said:. And in the authentic collections And this is in the authentic collections.
And in Sahih Muslim, from Jundub ibn 'Abd Allah, he said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), five days before he died, saying:Sahih Muslim 532 ".
The Shaykh : May Allah send prayers and peace upon him.
In this is evidence that the most beloved of people to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is Abu Bakr, and that if it were not for his disavowal of having a close friend from his Ummah, he would have taken Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) as a close friend.
And on this basis, those who dislike Abu Bakr have disliked whom? The one whom the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) loved. So they were contrary to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in what he loved. Yes.
Allah cursed the Jews and the Christians that they took the graves of their prophets as mosques
لعن الله اليهود والنصارى، اتخذوا قبور أنبيائهم مساجدThe Shaykh : And is it permissible, if we see a group of people who have taken the graves of the prophets, or those they claim to be awliya (close friends of Allah), as mosques, is it permissible for us to curse them?
It is possible, because the cause is the same.

Yes.
The reader: "Aisha said:
If it were not for that, his grave would have been made prominent, but he disliked that it be taken as a mosque
ولولا ذلك لأبرز قبره ولكن كره أن يتخذ مسجدًاThat a church in the land of Abyssinia was described to him, and its beauty and the images in it were mentioned, so he said: Those are the people who, when a righteous man dies among them, build a mosque over his grave and place those images in it. Those are the worst of creation in the sight of Allah on the Day of Resurrection
أنه ذكر له كنيسة بأرض الحبشة، وذكر من حسنها وتصاوير فيها، فقال : أولئك إذا مات فيهم الرجل الصالح بنوا على قبره مسجداً، وصوروا فيه تلك التصاوير، أولئك شرار الخلق عند الله يوم القيامةAnd in Sahih Muslim, from Jundub ibn 'Abd Allah, he said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), five days before he died, saying:
I stand acquitted before Allah that I took any one 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 Abu Bakr 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.
إني أبرأ إلى الله أن يكون لي منكم خليل، فإن الله قد اتخذني خليلا كما اتخذ ابراهيم خليلا، ولو كنت متخذا من أمتي خليلاً لاتخذت أبا بكر خليلاً، ألا وإن من كان قبلكم كانوا يتخذون قبور أنبيائهم مساجد، ألا فلا تتخذوا القبور مساجد، فإني أنهاكم عن ذلكThe Shaykh : May Allah send prayers and peace upon him.
In this is evidence that the most beloved of people to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is Abu Bakr, and that if it were not for his disavowal of having a close friend from his Ummah, he would have taken Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) as a close friend.
