أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ الْأَنْصَارِيُّ أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ عَنْ مَالِكٍ عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ
لَمَّا كَانَ مَرَضُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَكَرَ بَعْضُ نِسَائِهِ كَنِيسَةً رَأَيَاهَا بِأَرْضِ الْحَبَشَةِ وَكَانَتْ أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ وَأُمُّ حَبِيبَةَ قَدْ أَتَتَا أَرْضَ الْحَبَشَةِ فَذَكَرْنَ كَنِيسَةً رَأَيْنَهَا بِأَرْضِ الْحَبَشَةِ يُقَالُ لَهَا مَارِيَةُ وَذَكَرْنَ مِنْ حُسْنِهَا وَتَصَاوِيرَ فِيهَا فَرَفَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ أُولَئِكَ إِذَا مَاتَ مِنْهُمُ الرَّجُلُ الصَّالِحُ بَنَوْا عَلَى قَبْرِهِ مَسْجِدًا ثُمَّ صَوَّرُوا فِيهِ تِلْكَ الصُّوَرَ وَأُولَئِكَ شِرَارُ الْخَلْقِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى»

✧ During the illness of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, some of his wives mentioned a church they had seen in the land of Abyssinia. Umm Salamah and Umm Habibah had come to the land of Abyssinia, and they mentioned a church they had seen there called Maria, and they mentioned its beauty and the images in it. The Prophet ﷺ raised his head and said, "Those people, when a righteous man among them dies, build a mosque over his grave and then make those images in it. Those are the worst of creation in the sight of Allah, Exalted is He."
