ʿAisha said, "The Prophet ﷺ said during his fatal illness, "Allah cursed the Jews for they took the graves of their prophets as places for worship." ʿAisha added, "Had it not been for that (statement of the Prophet ) his grave would have been made conspicuous. But he was afraid that it might be taken as a place for worship."
قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي لَمْ يَقُمْ مِنْهُ لَعَنَ اللَّهُ الْيَهُودَ اتَّخَذُوا قُبُورَ أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ مَسَاجِدَ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ لَوْلاَ ذَلِكَ لأُبْرِزَ قَبْرُهُ خَشِيَ أَنْ يُتَّخَذَ مَسْجِدًا
