2225. Narrated Sa'īd bin Abū Al-Ḥasan:While I was with Ibn 'Abbās, رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا, aman came and said, "O father of 'Abbās! Iam a human being and my sustenance is frommy manual profession and I make thesepictures." Ibn 'Abbās said, "I will tell youonly what I heard from Allāh's Messenger ﷺ.I heard him saying, 'Whoever makes apicture will be punished by Allāh till he putssoul (life) in it, and he will never be able toput soul (life) in it.'" Hearing this, that manheaved a sigh and his face turned pale. Ibn'Abbās said to him, "What a pity! If you insiston making pictures I advise you to makepictures of trees and any other inanimateobjects having no souls." [See Faṭḥ Al-Bārī, for details]

2225 - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الوَهَّابِ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَوْفٌ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي الحَسَنِ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ عِنْدَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا، إِذْ أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ: يَا أَبَا عَبَّاسٍ، إِنِّي إِنْسَانٌ إِنَّمَا مَعِيشَتِي مِنْ صَنْعَةِ يَدِي، وَإِنِّي أَصْنَعُ هَذِهِ التَّصَاوِيرَ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: لاَ أُحَدِّثُكَ إِلَّا مَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: «مَنْ صَوَّرَ صُورَةً، فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ مُعَذِّبُهُ حَتَّى يَنْفُخَ فِيهَا الرُّوحَ، وَلَيْسَ بِنَافِخٍ فِيهَا أَبَدًا» فَرَبَا الرَّجُلُ رَبْوَةً شَدِيدَةً، وَاصْفَرَّ وَجْهُهُ، فَقَالَ: وَيْحَكَ، إِنْ أَبَيْتَ إِلَّا أَنْ تَصْنَعَ، فَعَلَيْكَ بِهَذَا الشَّجَرِ، كُلِّ شَيْءٍ لَيْسَ فِيهِ رُوحٌ، قَالَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ: سَمِعَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ، مِنَ النَّضْرِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ، هَذَا الوَاحِدَ
