[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon her while she was covered with a curtain that had statues on it. The face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ changed color and he turned away from the curtain, tearing it with his hand. Then he said, "Indeed, the severest punishment on the Day of Resurrection will be for those who create images resembling the creation of Allah."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ دَخَلَ عَلَيْهَا وَهِيَ مُسْتَتِرَةٌ بِقِرَامٍ فِيهِ تَمَاثِيلُ فَتَلَوَّنَ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَهْوَى إِلَى الْقِرَامِ فَهَتَكَهُ بِيَدِهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِنَّ أَشَدَّ النَّاسِ عَذَابًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ الَّذِينَ يُشَبِّهُونَ بِخَلْقِ اللَّهِ»
