The Shaykh :"The fifth point: that it is among the practices of the Jews and the Christians at the graves of their prophets". By what means do we know this? By the saying of the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him: Sunan an-Nasa'i 2046Sahih (Darussalam) And how bad a man is he who makes the Jews and the Christians his leaders. Good.
"Sixth: his cursing of them for that". Because of his saying: And we have previously mentioned that there are two possibilities regarding its meaning, which are—Sayf—Sahih Muslim 529 We mentioned two possibilities regarding his saying: Sunan an-Nasa'i 703Sahih (Darussalam) What are they?
The student: Two possibilities?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : Expulsion and distance from the mercy of Allah. But who is the source of this phrase?
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : Yes. It is possible that it is a declaration or a report. That is, it is possible that the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, cursed them, meaning he invoked the curse upon them. And it is possible that he reported that they are cursed. Under either possibility, it is evidence that they are cursed, either by their deserving his curse upon them or by the reality that the Messenger, may Allah's prayers and blessings be upon him, reported. Good.
"The seventh point: that his intention, peace and blessings be upon him, was to warn us about his grave". Because of the saying of Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her: Meaning what the Jews and the Christians did at the graves of their prophets.
"The eighth point: the reason for not making his grave prominent". Because of her saying:Sahih al-Bukhari 1390 And it has been previously established for us that there is another reason, which is that he informed that So this is another reason. And we said that it does not prevent a ruling from having two reasons, just as it does not prevent a reason from having two rulings.
"The ninth point: regarding the meaning of making it a mosque". We mentioned that it has how many? The general meaning is not from this. Two meanings:
The first meaning: building mosques on top of them.
And the second meaning: making it a place for prayer, intending to pray there. Yes. So if one prays there, even if he does not make it a place for prayer, meaning even if it is only once, he has made it a mosque in the general meaning. In the general meaning, if you pray without making it a place for prayer, you have made it a mosque in the general meaning.
"The ninth point: regarding the meaning of making it a mosque.
The tenth: that he paired those who take them as mosques with those upon whom the Hour will be established, mentioning the means to shirk (associating partners with Allah) before it occurs — and what comes after? — along with its conclusion.What is the meaning of this statement? It means that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned the warning against shirk (associating partners with Allah) before he died, and he also mentioned his conclusion. What is his conclusion? Ah? That those upon whom the Hour will be established are the worst of creation, and those upon whom the Hour will be established while they are alive are these disbelievers and those who take graves as mosques; these people committed the causes of shirk (associating partners with Allah) and kufr (disbelief).

He warned against what they did
يحذر ما صنعواHe warned against what they did
يحذر ما صنعوا"The eighth point: the reason for not making his grave prominent". Because of her saying:
And if that had not been the case, then the Prophet's grave would have been made prominent before the people. So (the Prophet (ﷺ) ) was afraid, or the people were afraid that his grave might be taken as a place for worship.
ولولا ذلك أبرز قبره غير أنه خشي أن يتخذ مسجداThere is no prophet except that he was buried where he died
