I was sitting with Ibn 'Abbas when he gave religious verdicts but he did not say that it was Messenger of Allah ﷺ who had said that. However when a man said to him (Ibn 'Abbas): I am the painter of these pictures. Ibn 'Abbas said: I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: He who painted pictures in the world would be compelled to breathe soul in them on the Day of Resurrection, but he would not be able to breathe soul (in them).  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى سَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ إِنِّي رَجُلٌ أُصَوِّرُ هَذِهِ الصُّوَرَ فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ادْنُهْ فَدَنَا الرَّجُلُ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ صَوَّرَ صُورَةً فِي الدُّنْيَا كُلِّفَ أَنْ يَنْفُخَ فِيهَا الرُّوحَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَلَيْسَ بِنَافِخٍ  

[Machine] I was with Ibn Abbas while he was giving fatwas to the people without referring to the Prophet ﷺ. Until a man from the people of Iraq came to him and said, "I am a man from the people of Iraq, and I make these images." Ibn Abbas told him to bring them closer, either two or three times. Then he said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Whoever makes an image will be ordered on the Day of Resurrection to breathe life into it, and he will not be able to.'"  

كُنْتُ عِنْدَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَهُوَ يُفْتِي النَّاسَ لَا يُسْنِدُ إِلَى نَبِيِّ اللهِ ﷺشَيْئًا مِنْ فُتْيَاهُ حَتَّى جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ فَقَالَ إِنِّي رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ وَإِنِّي أُصَوِّرُ هَذِهِ التَّصَاوِيرَ فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ادْنُهْ إِمَّا مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلاثًا فَدَنَا فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ صَوَّرَ صُورَةً فِي الدُّنْيَا يُكَلَّفُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَنْ يَنْفُخَ فِيهِ الرُّوحَ وَلَيْسَ بِنَافِخٍ  

[Machine] He (Abdullah ibn Abbas) witnessed that the man gave religious rulings to the people without mentioning the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Then a man came and said, "I am a man from Iraq, and I make these images (referring to idols). He (Abdullah ibn Abbas) said, "Lower your voice twice or thrice. I heard Muhammad ﷺ or he said, I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Whoever makes a picture will be commanded on the Day of Resurrection to breathe life into it, but he will not be able to do so.'"  

أَنَّهُ شَهِدَ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَبَّاسٍ أَفْتَى النَّاسَ وَلَا يَذْكُرُ فِي فُتْيَاهُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ حَتَّى جَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ إِنِّي رَجُلٌ عِرَاقِيٌّ وَإِنِّي أُصَوِّرُ هَذِهِ التَّصَاوِيرَ؟ فَقَالَ ادْنُهْ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ أَوْ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ صَوَّرَ صُورَةً فِي الدُّنْيَا كُلِّفَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَنْ يَنْفُخَ فِيهَا الرُّوحَ وَلَيْسَ بِنَافِخٍ  

[Machine] "O father of Abbas, I am a person whose livelihood is only through the work of my hands. I create these images." Ibn Abbas said to him, "Lower your voice, lower your voice! I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: 'Whoever creates an image in this world will be ordered on the Day of Resurrection to breathe life into it, and he will not be able to.' He would have a severe penalty for this action, and he said, 'Woe to you! If you insist on creating, then restrict yourself to trees and that which does not have a soul.'"  

يَا أَبَا عَبَّاسٍ إِنِّي إِنْسَانٌ إِنَّمَا مَعِيشَتِي مِنْ صَنْعَةِ يَدِي إِنِّي أَصْنَعُ هَذِهِ التَّصَاوِيرَ فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ادْنُهُ ادْنُهُ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَنْ صَوَّرَ صُورَةً فِي الدُّنْيَا كُلِّفَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَنْ يَنْفُخَ فِيهَا الرُّوحَ وَلَيْسَ بِنَافِخٍ قَالَ فَرَبَا لَهَا الرَّجُلُ رَبْوَةً شَدِيدَةً وَقَالَ وَيْحَكَ إِنْ أَبَيْتَ إِلَّا أَنْ تَصْنَعَ فَعَلَيْكَ بِالشَّجَرِ وَمَا لَيْسَ فِيهِ رُوحٌ
