ذِكْرُ تَعْذِيبِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا الْمُصَوِّرِينَ الَّذِينَ يُصَوِّرُونَ الصُّوَرَ

ابن حبّان:٥٨٤٦أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ مُكْرَمٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْحُسَيْنِ بْنِ إِشْكَابٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا قُرَادٌ أَبُو نُوحٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ عَوْفٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ إِنِّي عَمِلْتُ هَذِهِ التَّصَاوِيرَ قَالَ فَقَالَ

النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُعَذَّبُ الْمُصَوِّرِينَ لِمَا صَوَّرُوا» قَالَ فَذَهَبَ الرَّجُلُ وَزَعَمَ أَنَّ لَهُ عِيَالًا قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ «لَا تُصَوِّرْ شَيْئًا فِيهِ رُوحٌ»
