ahmad:3558ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz > Manṣūr

[Machine] "Is this the stolen statue of Kisra? So I said, 'No, but it is the statue of Maryam.' He said, 'It is stolen. Indeed, I heard Abdullah bin Mas'ud saying that the Messenger of Allah, may peace be upon him, said: Indeed, the severest punishment on the Day of Resurrection is for the image-makers.'"  

أحمد:٣٥٥٨حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ حَدَّثَنَا مَنْصُورٌ عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ صُبَيْحٍ قَالَكُنْتُ مَعَ مَسْرُوقٍ فِي بَيْتٍ فِيهِ تِمْثَالُ مَرْيَمَ فَقَالَ

مَسْرُوقٌ هَذَا تِمْثَالُ كِسْرَى؟ فَقُلْتُ لَا وَلَكِنْ تِمْثَالُ مَرْيَمَ فَقَالَ مَسْرُوقٌ أَمَا إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ أَشَدَّ النَّاسِ عَذَابًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ الْمُصَوِّرُونَ
