Hadith #51597
وَعَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: لَمَّا اشْتَكَى النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَكَرَ بَعْضُ نِسَائِهِ كَنِيسَةً يُقَالُ لَهَا: مَارِيَّةُ وَكَانَتْ أُمُّ سَلمَة وَأم حَبِيبَة أتتا أرضَ الْحَبَشَة فَذَكرنَا مِنْ حُسْنِهَا وَتَصَاوِيرَ فِيهَا فَرَفَعَ رَأْسَهُ فَقَالَ: «أُولَئِكَ إِذَا مَاتَ فِيهِمُ الرَّجُلُ الصَّالِحُ بَنَوْا عَلَى قَبْرِهِ مَسْجِدًا ثُمَّ صَوَّرُوا فِيهِ تِلْكَ الصُّور أُولَئِكَ شرار خلق الله»
On the authority of Aisha, she said: When the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, complained, he mentioned some of his wives, a church called: Maria. She was Umm Salama and Umm Habibah came to the land of Abyssinia and mentioned its beauty and the images therein. Then he raised his head and said: “Those are those when a righteous man dies among them.” They built a mosque over his grave and then made those pictures in it. Those are the worst of God’s creation.”
