English narration

Narrated by النضر بن أنس الأنصاري

While I was with Ibn `Abbas a man came and said, "O father of `Abbas! My sustenance is from my manual profession and I make these pictures." Ibn `Abbas said, "I will tell you only what I heard from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) . I heard him saying, 'Whoever makes a picture will be punished by Allah till he puts life in it, and he will never be able to put life in it.' " Hearing this, that man heaved a sigh and his face turned pale. Ibn `Abbas said to him, "What a pity! If you insist on making pictures I advise you to make pictures of trees and any other unanimated objects."

النص العربي

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَوْفٌ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ عِنْدَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ ، إِذْ أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ ، فَقَالَ : يَا أَبَا عَبَّاسٍ ، إِنِّي إِنْسَانٌ ، إِنَّمَا مَعِيشَتِي مِنْ صَنْعَةِ يَدِي ، وَإِنِّي أَصْنَعُ هَذِهِ التَّصَاوِيرَ ، فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ : لَا أُحَدِّثُكَ إِلَّا مَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ 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 عَبْد اللَّهِ : سَمِعَ سَعِيدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَرُوبَةَ ، مِنْ النَّضْرِ بْنِ أَنَسٍ هَذَا الْوَاحِدَ .
