Narrated 'Urwa:
Aisha said, "The Prophet in his fatal illness said, 'Allah cursed the Jews and the Christians because
they took the graves of their Prophets as places for praying."' Aisha added, "Had it not been for that
the grave of the Prophet (p.b.u.h) would have been made prominent but I am afraid it might be taken
(as a) place for praying.
