2574. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "Some of the Fire (in the shape of a long neck) will come out of the Fire on the Day of Judgement. It will have two eyes which can see, two ears which can hear, and a tongue which can speak. It will say: 'I have been left in charge of three: Every obstinate oppressor, everyone who called upon a deity besides Allāh, and the image makers.'" (Hasan)

Commentary
The Hadīth is explicit on the point that just as oppression, obstinacy, stubborn opposition to truth and sticking to disbelief are reprehensive acts of sin, image making is also a serious crime against Allāh. The perpetrators of these crimes shall, therefore, be made to suffer humiliation before everybody and then consigned to the flames of Fire.
