Sahih Muslim 529 (Book 5, Hadith 24) #8339
Taking Graves as Mosques is Forbidden

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) warned against taking the graves of prophets as mosques, and said that if it wasn't for this fear, his own grave would have been in an open place.

'A'isha reported: The Messenger of Allah said during his illness from which he never recovered: Allah cursed the Jews and the Christians that they took the graves of their prophets as mosques. She ('A'isha) reported: Had it not been so, his (Prophet's) grave would have been in an open place, but it could not be due to the fear that it may not be taken as a mosque.
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، وَعَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، حَدَّثَنَا شَيْبَانُ، عَنْ هِلاَلِ بْنِ أَبِي حُمَيْدٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَقُمْ مِنْهُ ‏ "‏ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَى اتَّخَذُوا قُبُورَ أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ مَسَاجِدَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَتْ فَلَوْلاَ ذَاكَ أُبْرِزَ قَبْرُهُ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ خُشِيَ أَنْ يُتَّخَذَ مَسْجِدًا ‏.‏ وَفِي رِوَايَةِ ابْنِ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ وَلَوْلاَ ذَاكَ لَمْ يَذْكُرْ قَالَتْ

QUICK LESSONS:
Respect and honor others' graves

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) taught us a valuable lesson about respecting the graves of prophets. He warned us against taking their graves as mosques, which is a sign of disrespect. He said that if it wasn't for this fear, his own grave would have been in an open place. This hadith teaches us to respect the graves of prophets and not to take them as places of worship or prayer. We should also remember that we should not take any other person's grave as a mosque either, out of respect for them and their families.
