عَنْ عُمَارَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنْ أَبِي زُرْعَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ مَعَ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ دَارَ مَرْوَانَ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ فَرَأَى فِيهَا تَصَاوِيرَ وَهِيَ تُبْنَى فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنْ ذَهَبَ يَخْلُقُ خَلْقًا كَخَلْقِي فَلْيَخْلُقُوا ذَرَّةً أَوْ فَلْيَخْلُقُوا حَبَّةً أَوْ لِيَخْلُقُوا شَعِيرَةً
Abu Zar’ah says: I entered the house of Marwan bin Hakam with Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), and they saw that pictures were being made there. Then Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah said: I heard from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) narrated from Allah Almighty that Allah Almighty said: Who is a greater wrongdoer than the one who tries to create like My creation? They should try to create a particle, create a grain, create a barley seed.
