Arabic hadith text

أَخْبَرَنَا سُوَيْدُ بْنُ نَصْرٍ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، وَيُونُسَ، قَالاَ قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ أَخْبَرَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، أَنَّ عَائِشَةَ، وَابْنَ، عَبَّاسٍ قَالاَ لَمَّا نُزِلَ بِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَطَفِقَ يَطْرَحُ خَمِيصَةً لَهُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فَإِذَا اغْتَمَّ كَشَفَهَا عَنْ وَجْهِهِ قَالَ وَهُوَ كَذَلِكَ ‏"‏ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْيَهُودِ وَالنَّصَارَى اتَّخَذُوا قُبُورَ أَنْبِيَائِهِمْ مَسَاجِدَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Suwayd ibn Nasr reported to us. He said: 'Abd Allah ibn al-Mubarak informed us, from Ma'mar and Yunus. They said: Al-Zuhri told me that 'Ubayd Allah ibn 'Abd Allah related that 'A'ishah and Ibn 'Abbas said: When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was on his deathbed, he began placing a cloak over his face. Whenever he felt distressed, he would uncover his face. In that state he said, May Allah's curse be upon the Jews and Christians; they took the graves of their prophets as places of worship.
