It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that Hazrat Umm Salamah mentioned before the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) the church which she had seen in Abyssinia, whose name was Maria, and also mentioned the pictures she had seen in it. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: These are such people that when a righteous man among them dies, they build a place of worship (a place of prostration) over his grave and put his pictures in it. These are the people who are the worst of creation in the sight of Allah.
