البيهقي:١٤٥٦٧أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ أنبأ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ أنبأ بِشْرُ بْنُ مُوسَى ثنا الْحُمَيْدِيُّ ثنا سُفْيَانُ ثنا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ مُسْلِمِ بْنِ صُبَيْحٍ قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ مَسْرُوقٍ فِي دَارِ يَسَارِ بْنِ نُمَيْرٍ فَرَأَى مَسْرُوقٌ فِي صُفَّتِهِ التَّمَاثِيلَ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ مَسْعُودٍ يَقُولُ

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ أَشَدَّ النَّاسِ عَذَابًا عِنْدَ اللهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ الْمُصَوِّرُونَ
