Chapter: What came that extremism concerning the righteous will turn it into idols to be worshipped other than Allaah
Reported by Maalik in Al-Muwatta': That the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ said: "O Allaah don't make my grave an idol to be worshipped. The anger of Allaah is intensified upon the people who took the graves of their Prophets as Masaajid."
And to Ibn Jarir with a chain from Sufyaan from Mansoor from Mujaahid
(أَفَرَءَيْتُمُ ٱللَّٰتَ وَٱلْعُزَّىٰ)
Have you then considered Al-Lat, and Al-'Uzza (two idols of the pagan Arabs).
[An-Najm: 19]
He used to mix Saweeq (a mixture of honey and barley) for them, then he died, so they did circumbuilated around his grave.”
And like this Abu Al-Jawzaa’ from Ibn ‘Abbaas: “He used to mix Saweeq for the pilgrims of Hajj.”
And from Ibn 'Abbaas may Allaah be pleased with him, he said: "The Prophet ﷺ cursed the female visitors of the graves, and those who take it as Masaajid and for lighting candles."
[Reported by the people of the Sunan]
In it are Masaa’il (topics):
The First: Tafseer of Al-Awthaan (idols).
