أَخْبَرَنَا يَعْقُوبُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُرْوَةَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ عَائِشَةَ
أَنَّ أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ وَأَمَّ سَلَمَةَ ذَكَرَتَا كَنِيسَةً رَأَيْنَهَا بِالْحَبَشَةِ فِيهَا تَصَاوِيرُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ أُولَئِكَ إِذَا كَانَ فِيهِمُ الرَّجُلَ الصَّالِحُ فَمَاتَ بَنَوْا عَلَى قَبْرِهِ مَسْجِدًا وَصَوَّرُوا تِلْكَ الصُّوَرَ أُولَئِكَ شِرَارُ الْخَلْقِ عِنْدَ اللهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»

✧ Umm Habibah and Umm Salamah mentioned a church they had seen in Abyssinia that contained images. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Those people, when a righteous man among them died, they built a mosque over his grave and made those images. They are the worst of creatures in the sight of Allah on the Day of Resurrection."
