Should I not send you on the same mission as Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me? Do not leave an image without obliterating it, or a high grave without levelling It. This hadith has been reported by Habib with the same chain of transmitters and he said: (Do not leave) a picture without obliterating it.

لِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ أَلاَّ أَبْعَثُكَ عَلَى مَا بَعَثَنِي عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ لاَ تَدَعَ تِمْثَالاً إِلاَّ طَمَسْتَهُ وَلاَ قَبْرًا مُشْرِفًا إِلاَّ سَوَّيْتَهُ وَحَدَّثَنِيهِ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ خَلاَّدٍ الْبَاهِلِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى وَهُوَ الْقَطَّانُ حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ حَدَّثَنِي حَبِيبٌ بِهَذَا الإِسْنَادِ وَقَالَ وَلاَ صُورَةً إِلاَّ طَمَسْتَهَا

"Shall I not send you on the same mission as the Messenger of Allah sent me? Do not leave any raised grave without leveling it, or any image in a house without erasing it."

عَلِيٌّ ؓ أَلاَ أَبْعَثُكَ عَلَى مَا بَعَثَنِي عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ لاَ تَدَعَنَّ قَبْرًا مُشْرِفًا إِلاَّ سَوَّيْتَهُ وَلاَ صُورَةً فِي بَيْتٍ إِلاَّ طَمَسْتَهَا

'Ali said to me: I am sending you on the same mission as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me that I should not leave a high grave without leveling it and an image without obliterating it.

لِي أَبْعَثُكَ عَلَى مَا بَعَثَنِي عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ لاَ أَدَعَ قَبْرًا مُشْرِفًا إِلاَّ سَوَّيْتُهُ وَلاَ تِمْثَالاً إِلاَّ طَمَسْتُهُ

"Ali said to Abu Al-Hayyaj Al-Asadi: 'I am dispatching you with what the Prophet dispatched me: "That you not leave an elevated grave without leveling it, nor an image without erasing it."

لأَبِي الْهَيَّاجِ الأَسَدِيِّ أَبْعَثُكَ عَلَى مَا بَعَثَنِي بِهِ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَنْ لاَ تَدَعَ قَبْرًا مُشْرِفًا إِلاَّ سَوَّيْتَهُ وَلاَ تِمْثَالاً إِلاَّ طَمَسْتَهُ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ

ʿAli ؓ said to me: I shall send you on the same mission as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me: do not leave any image without erasing it or any built-up grave without levelling it.

لِي عَلِيٌّ أَبْعَثُكَ عَلَى مَا بَعَثَنِي عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ أَنْ لَا تَدَعَ تِمْثَالًا إِلا طَمَسْتَهُ وَلا قَبْرًا مُشْرِفًا إِلا سَوَّيْتَهُ

ʿAli ؓ said to me - and ‘Abdur-Rahman said: ʿAli ؓ said to Abul-Hayyaj: I am sending you on the same mission as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me: do not leave any raised grave without levelling it or any image without erasing it.

لِأَبِي الْهَيَّاجِ أَبْعَثُكَ عَلَى مَا بَعَثَنِي عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنْ لَا تَدَعَ قَبْرًا مُشْرِفًا إِلا سَوَّيْتَهُ وَلا تِمْثَالًا إِلا طَمَسْتَهُ

ʿAli ؓ said to me: I shall send you on the same mission as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me: do not leave any image without erasing it or any built-up grave without levelling it. (Using translation from Aḥmad 741)

لِأَبِي هَيَّاجٍ «أَبْعَثُكَ عَلَى مَا بَعَثَنِي عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ لَا تَدَعْ تِمْثَالًا إِلَّا طَمَسْتَهُ وَلَا قَبْرًا مُشْرِفًا إِلَّا سَوَّيْتَهُ»

"Shall I not send you on the same mission as the Messenger of Allah sent me? Do not leave any raised grave without leveling it, or any image in a house without erasing it." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2031)

قَالَ عَلِيٌّ أَلَا أَبْعَثُكَ عَلَى مَا بَعَثَنِي عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا تَدَعَنَّ قَبْرًا مُشْرِفًا إِلَّا سَوَّيْتَهُ وَلَا صُورَةً فِي بَيْتٍ إِلَّا طَمَسْتَهَا»

[Machine] Ali ibn Abi Talib said to me, "I send you on what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent me, that you do not leave a raised grave without leveling it, and do not leave a statue in a house without erasing it."

قَالَ لِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ ؓ أَبْعَثُكَ عَلَى مَا بَعَثَنِي عَلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺأَنْ لَا تَتْرُكَ قَبْرًا مُشْرِفًا إِلَّا سَوَّيْتَهُ وَلَا تِمْثَالًا فِي بَيْتٍ إِلَّا طَمَسْتَهُ
