Hadith 2110
قَالَ مُسْلِم : قَرَأْتُ عَلَى نَصْرِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيِّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى بْنِ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَي بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ، قال : جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، فَقَالَ : إِنِّي رَجُلٌ أُصَوِّرُ هَذِهِ الصُّوَرَ فَأَفْتِنِي فِيهَا ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ : ادْنُ مِنِّي فَدَنَا مِنْهُ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : ادْنُ مِنِّي فَدَنَا حَتَّى وَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ، قَالَ : أُنَبِّئُكَ بِمَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " كُلُّ مُصَوِّرٍ فِي النَّارِ يَجْعَلُ لَهُ بِكُلِّ صُورَةٍ صَوَّرَهَا نَفْسًا فَتُعَذِّبُهُ فِي جَهَنَّمَ " ، وقَالَ : إِنْ كُنْتَ لَا بُدَّ فَاعِلًا فَاصْنَعِ الشَّجَرَ ، وَمَا لَا نَفْسَ لَهُ فَأَقَرَّ بِهِ نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ .
(Muslim said): I read this before Nasr bin 'Ali at-Jahdami and he read it before other narrators, the last one being Ibn Sa'id b Abl at Hasan that a person came to Ibn 'Abbas and said: I am the person who paints pictures; give me a religious verdict about them. He (Ibn 'Abbas) said to him: Come near me (still further). He came near him so much so that he placed his hand upon his head and said: I am going to narrate to you what I heard from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . I heard him say: All the painters who make pictures would be in the fire of Hell. The soul will be breathed in every picture prepared by him and it shall punish him in the Hell, and he (Ibn 'Abbas) said: If you have to do it at all, then paint the pictures of trees and lifeless things; and Nasr bin 'Ali confirmed it.

وحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُسْهِرٍ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ ، عَنْ النَّضْرِ بْنِ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قال : كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، فَجَعَلَ يُفْتِي ، لا يَقُولُ : قال رسول اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ حَتَّى سَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ ، فَقَالَ : إِنِّي رَجُلٌ أُصَوِّرُ هَذِهِ الصُّوَرَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ : ادْنُهْ فَدَنَا الرَّجُلُ ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " مَنْ صَوَّرَ صُورَةً فِي الدُّنْيَا كُلِّفَ أَنْ يَنْفُخَ فِيهَا الرُّوحَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ ، وَلَيْسَ بِنَافِخٍ "
Anas bin Malik (RA) said: I was sitting with Ibn Ahbas when he gave religious verdicts but he did not say that it was Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) who had said that. However when a man said to him (Ibn 'Abbas): I am the painter of these pictures. Ibn 'Abbas said: I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: He who painted pictures in the world would be compelled to breathe soal in them on the Day of Resurrection, but he would not be able to breathe soul (in them).

Nadr bin Anas reported that a person came to Ibn 'Abbas and he narrated (the above menlioned hadith) from Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) .

Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Maulana Abdul Aziz Alvi
Hadith Commentary: Benefits and Issues: This hadith establishes that it is permissible to make images of trees, stones, rivers, mountains, buildings, and every such thing in which there is no soul, because such things are made or cultivated by humans for themselves, and they are innumerable. Therefore, if someone is fond of photography, or if this is his profession, then he can make or take pictures of these things.
