I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ five days before his death and he said: I stand acquitted before Allah that I took any one of you as friend, for Allah has taken me as His friend, as he took Ibrahim as His friend. Had I taken any one of my Ummah as a friend, I would have taken Abu Bakr as a friend. Beware of those who preceded you and used to take the graves of their prophets and righteous men as places of worship, but you must not take graves as mosques; I forbid you to do that.

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَمُوتَ بِخَمْسٍ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ إِنِّي أَبْرَأُ إِلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ يَكُونَ لِي مِنْكُمْ خَلِيلٌ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى قَدِ اتَّخَذَنِي خَلِيلاً كَمَا اتَّخَذَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ خَلِيلاً وَلَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا مِنْ أُمَّتِي خَلِيلاً لاَتَّخَذْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ خَلِيلاً أَلاَ وَإِنَّ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ كَانُوا يَتَّخِذُونَ قُبُورَ أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ وَصَالِحِيهِمْ مَسَاجِدَ أَلاَ فَلاَ تَتَّخِذُوا الْقُبُورَ مَسَاجِدَ إِنِّي أَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ ذَلِكَ

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ give a sermon to the people before he passed away by five nights. He said, "O people, there were brothers and friends among you. Indeed, I disavow before Allah that I take any of you as my friend. If I were to take a friend from my nation, it would be Abu Bakr. Allah has taken me as His friend, just as He took Ibrahim as a friend. Indeed, those before you took the graves of their prophets and righteous ones as places of worship, so do not take their graves as places of worship. I forbid you from doing so."

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُتَوَفَّى بِخَمْسِ لَيَالٍ خَطَبَ النَّاسَ فَقَالَ «أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّهُ قَدْ كَانَ فِيكُمْ إِخْوَةٌ وَأَصْدِقَاءُ وَإِنِّي أَبْرَأُ إِلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ أَتَّخِذَ مِنْكُمْ خَلِيلًا وَلَوْ أَنِّي اتَّخَذْتُ مِنْ أُمَّتِي خَلِيلًا لَاتَّخَذْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ خَلِيلًا إِنَّ اللَّهَ اتَّخَذَنِي خَلِيلًا كَمَا اتَّخَذَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ خَلِيلًا وَإِنَّ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمُ اتَّخَذُوا قُبُورَ أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ وَصَالِحِيهِمْ مَسَاجِدَ فَلَا تَتَّخِذُوا قُبُورَهُمْ مَسَاجِدَ فَإِنِّي أَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ ذَلِكَ»

[Machine] He ﷺ said that he heard the Prophet ﷺ before his death saying, "I had brothers and friends among you, and I disassociate myself with Allah from having any close friend among you. And if I were to take a close friend from my nation, I would have chosen Abu Bakr as a close friend. Indeed, my Lord has taken me as a close friend, just as He took Ibrahim as a close friend. Know that those before you used to take the graves of their prophets and righteous ones as places of worship, so do not take the graves as places of worship. Verily, I forbid you from doing so."

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَبْلَ مَوْتِهِ بِخَمْسٍ يَقُولُ «قَدْ كَانَ لِي مِنْكُمْ إِخْوَةٌ وأَصْدِقَاءُ وَإِنِّي أَبْرَأُ إِلَى اللهِ أَنْ يَكُونَ لِي مِنْكُمْ خَلِيلٌ وَلَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا خَلِيلًا مِنْ أُمَّتِي لَاتَّخَذْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ خَلِيلًا وَإِنَّ رَبِّي ﷻ قَدِ اتَّخَذَنِي خَلِيلًا كَمَا اتَّخَذَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ خَلِيلًا أَلَا وَإِنَّ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ كَانُوا يَتَّخِذُونَ قُبُورَ أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ وَصَالِحِيهِمْ مَسَاجِدَ فَلَا تَتَّخِذُوا الْقُبُورَ مَسَاجِدَ فَإِنِّي أَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ ذَلِكَ»

[Machine] He heard the Prophet ﷺ saying before he passed away five things: He said, "I had brothers and friends among you, and I renounce any friendship for the sake of any Khalil (close friend). If I were to take a Khalil from my Ummah, I would have taken Abu Bakr as a Khalil. But indeed, my Lord has taken me as a Khalil just as He has taken Ibrahim as a Khalil (close friend). And do not turn graves into places of worship, for I forbid you to do so."

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُتَوَفَّى بِخَمْسٍ يَقُولُ «قَدْ كَانَ لِي مِنْكُمْ إِخْوَةٌ وَأَصْدِقَاءُ وَإِنِّي أَبْرَأُ إِلَى كُلِّ خَلِيلٍ مِنْ خُلَّتِهِ وَلَوْ كُنْتُ مُتَّخِذًا خَلِيلًا مِنْ أُمَّتِي لَاتَّخَذْتُ أَبَا بَكْرٍ خَلِيلًا وَإِنَّ رَبِّي اتَّخَذَنِي خَلِيلًا كَمَا اتَّخَذَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ خَلِيلًا وَلَا تَتَّخِذُوا الْقُبُورَ مَسَاجِدَ فَإِنِّي أَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ ذَلِكَ»

"قَدْ كَانَ لِي مِنْكُم خَليلٌ، وَلَو كُنْتُ مُتخِذًا خَلِيلًا مِنْ أُمَّتِي لأَتَّخَذْتُ أبَا بَكْرٍ خَلِيلًا، وَإِنَّ رَبِّي - ﷻ - قَد اتَّخَذَنِى خَليلًا، كَمَا اتَّخَذَ إِبرَاهِيم خَليلًا، أَلَا وَإِنَّ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُم كَانُوا يَتَّخِذُونَ قُبُورَ أَنْبيَائِهِم وَصَالِحِيهِم مَسَاجدَ، فَلَا تَتَّخِذُوا الْقُبُورَ مَسَاجدَ فَإِنِّى أَنْهَاكُم عَن ذَلِكَ".

"إِنِّى أَبْرَأُ إِلى اللَّهِ أَنْ يَكُونَ لِى مِنْكُمْ خَلِيلٌ، فإِنَّ اللَّهَ قد اتَّخَذَنِى خَلِيلًا كَمَا اتَّخَذَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ خَلَيَلًا، وَلَوْ كُنتُ مُتَّخِذًا مِنْ أُمَّتِى خلِيلًا لاتَّخَذْتُ أبَا بَكْرٍ خَلِيلًا، ألَا وإِنَّ مَنْ كَانَ قَبَلَكُمْ كَانُوا يتِّخِذُون قُبُورَ أنْبيَائِهِمْ، وَصَالحيهِمْ مَسَاجدَ. أَلَا فَلَا تَتَّخذُوا الْقُبُورَ مَسَاجِدَ، إِنِّى أَنْهَاكُمْ عَنْ ذَلِك".
