(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا
عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَى ، عَنْ
يَحْيَى يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ ، عَنْ
سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ، قَالَ : جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى
ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، فَقَالَ : يَا أَبَا الْعَبَّاسِ ، إِنِّي رَجُلٌ أُصَوِّرُ هَذِهِ الصُّوَرَ ، وَأَصْنَعُ هَذِهِ الصُّوَرَ ، فَأَفْتِنِي فِيهَا ؟ قَالَ : ادْنُ مِنِّي ، فَدَنَا مِنْهُ ، حَتَّى وَضَعَ يَدَهُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ ، قَالَ : أُنَبِّئُكَ بِمَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ سمعتُ رَسول الله صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " كُلُّ مُصَوِّرٍ فِي النَّارِ ، يُجْعَلُ لَهُ بِكُلِّ صُورَةٍ صَوَّرَهَا نَفْسٌ تُعَذِّبُهُ فِي جَهَنَّمَ " فَإِنْ كُنْتَ لَا بُدَّ فَاعِلًا ، فَاجْعَلْ الشَّجَرَ وَمَا لَا نَفْسَ لَهُ .
Saeed bin Abi Al-Hasan (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once a man came to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) and said, "O Abu Al-Abbas! I do the work of making pictures. Give me a fatwa regarding its permissibility or impermissibility." Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) ordered him twice to come closer, so he came closer. Then he placed his hand on his head and said: "I will tell you what I heard from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): 'Every image-maker will go to Hell, and for every picture he made, a soul will be created for him, which will punish him in Hell.'" If you cannot do without it, then make pictures of trees and things that do not have souls.
