Musnad Abi Ya'la 2577 — I was with Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas
أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو يَعْلَى أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عَلِيِّ بْنِ الْمُثَنَّى الْمَوْصِلِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ الْأَزْرَقُ ، عَنْ عَوْفٍ الْأَعْرَابِيِّ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ قَالَ : كُنْتُ عِنْدَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ إِذْ أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ ، فَقَالَ : إِنِّي إِنْسَانٌ إِنَّمَا مَعِيشَتِي مِنْ صَنْعَةِ يَدِي ، وَإِنِّي أَصْنَعُ هَذِهِ التَّصَاوِيرَ ، فَقَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - يَقُولُ : مَنْ صَوَّرَ صُورَةً فَإِنَّ اللهَ يُعَذِّبُهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ حَتَّى يَنْفُخَ فِيهَا الرُّوحَ ، وَلَيْسَ بِنَافِخٍ فِيهَا أَبَدًا ، قَالَ : فَرَبَا لَهَا الرَّجُلُ رَبْوَةً شَدِيدَةً ، وَاصْفَرَّ وَجْهُهُ ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ : وَيْحَكَ إِنْ أَبَيْتَ إِلَّا أَنْ تَصْنَعَ ، فَعَلَيْكَ بِهَذَا الشَّجَرِ ، وَكُلِّ شَيْءٍ لَيْسَ فِيهِ رُوحٌ .
Sa'id bin Abi al-Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) narrated: I was with Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) when a man came to him and said: I am a person whose livelihood comes from the work of my hands, and I make these pictures. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever makes a picture, Allah Almighty will keep punishing him on the Day of Resurrection until he breathes a soul into it, and he will never be able to breathe a soul into it." The narrator said: On hearing this the man became extremely distressed and his face turned pale with fear. So Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said (on seeing his state): "Woe to you! If you insist on making pictures, then make pictures of these trees and of everything that has no soul."
