Sahih al-Bukhari

Chapter 8 · Prayers (Salat)هَلْ تُنْبَشُ قُبُورُ مُشْرِكِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ، وَيُتَّخَذُ مَكَانَهَا مَسَاجِدَ
Whether the graves of the polytheists of the pre-Islamic era may be dug up and mosques built in their place
أَنَّ أُمَّ حَبِيبَةَ، وَأُمَّ سَلَمَةَ ذَكَرَتَا كَنِيسَةً رَأَيْنَهَا بِالْحَبَشَةِ فِيهَا تَصَاوِيرُ، فَذَكَرَتَا لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ " إِنَّ أُولَئِكَ إِذَا كَانَ فِيهِمُ الرَّجُلُ الصَّالِحُ فَمَاتَ بَنَوْا عَلَى قَبْرِهِ مَسْجِدًا، وَصَوَّرُوا فِيهِ تِلْكَ الصُّوَرَ، فَأُولَئِكَ شِرَارُ الْخَلْقِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ".

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ،
Translation
Aishah reported that Umm Habibah and Umm Salamah mentioned a church they had seen in Abyssinia in which there were images. They mentioned it to the Prophet ﷺ, and he said, “When there was a righteous man among those people and he died, they would build a place of prayer over his grave and paint those images in it. Those are the worst of creation in the sight of Allah on the Day of Resurrection.”

Aischa berichtete, dass Umm Habiba und Umm Salama eine Kirche erwähnten, die sie in Abessinien gesehen hatten und in der Bilder waren. Sie erwähnten es dem Propheten ﷺ gegenüber, und er sagte: „Wenn unter jenen ein frommer Mann war und starb, bauten sie über seinem Grab eine Gebetsstätte und malten darin jene Bilder. Jene sind die schlimmsten Geschöpfe bei Allah am Tag der Auferstehung.“

Âişe (r.a.), Ümmü Habîbe (r.a.) ile Ümmü Seleme'nin (r.a.) Habeşistan'da gördükleri, içinde resimler bulunan bir kiliseden söz ettiklerini rivayet etti. Bunu Nebî'ye ﷺ anlattılar; o da şöyle buyurdu: “Onlar, aralarında salih bir adam bulunup da öldüğünde, kabrinin üzerine bir mescid yaparlar ve oraya o resimleri yaparlardı. İşte onlar, kıyamet günü Allah katında yaratılmışların en kötüleridir.”
