It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), during his illness "from which he did not recover," said: May Allah's curse be upon the Jews and Christians; they made the graves of their prophets (peace be upon them) places of prostration. Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) only feared that his grave might be made a place of prostration, otherwise there would have been no harm in leaving the blessed grave open.
