عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَدِ اسْتَتَرْتُ بِقِرَامٍ فِيهِ تَمَاثِيلُ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ تَلَوَّنَ وَجْهُهُ وَقَالَ مَرَّةً تَغَيَّرَ وَجْهُهُ وَهَتَكَهُ بِيَدِهِ وَقَالَ أَشَدُّ النَّاسِ عَذَابًا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ الَّذِينَ يُضَاهُونَ بِخَلْقِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَزَّ أَوْ يُشَبِّهُونَ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ سَوَاءٌ
Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me while I had hung up a curtain with pictures on it. When he (peace be upon him) saw it, his face changed with anger, and he tore that curtain with his blessed hand and said: "Among the people, those who will have the severest punishment with Allah on the Day of Resurrection are those who imitate Allah’s creation (i.e., make pictures)." Imam Sufyan said: Both words have the same meaning.
