[Machine] "And when Al-Hasan ibn Ali died, his wife struck the dome upon his grave for a year, then it was removed. Then they heard a voice crying out, saying, 'Now have they found what they lost?' The other replied, 'No, they despaired and turned back.'"

وَلَمَّا مَاتَ الْحَسَنُ بْنُ الْحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ ؓ مْ ضَرَبَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ الْقُبَّةَ عَلَى قَبْرِهِ سَنَةً، ثُمَّ رُفِعَتْ، فَسَمِعُوا صَائِحًا يَقُولُ أَلاَ هَلْ وَجَدُوا مَا فَقَدُوا. فَأَجَابَهُ الآخَرُ بَلْ يَئِسُوا فَانْقَلَبُوا.

Aisha said, "The Prophet ﷺ 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 ﷺ would have been made prominent but I am afraid it might be taken (as a) place for praying.  

البخاري:١٣٣٠ – حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُوسَى عَنْ شَيْبَانَ عَنْ هِلاَلٍ هُوَ الْوَزَّانُ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ؓ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْيَهُودَ وَالنَّصَارَى اتَّخَذُوا قُبُورَ أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ مَسْجِدًا قَالَتْ وَلَوْلاَ ذَلِكَ لأَبْرَزُوا قَبْرَهُ غَيْرَ أَنِّي أَخْشَى أَنْ يُتَّخَذَ مَسْجِدًا
