Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : The fourth hadith: And from Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say:
Those who will receive the most severe punishment from Allah on the Day of Resurrection will be painters (of living objects). إن أشدَّ الناس عذابًا يوم القيامة المصوِّرون
Riyad as-Salihin 1682
. It was narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim.
The fifth: From Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say:
The Almighty Allah said: 'Who is more an oppressor than him who goes to create like My creation? Let him make an ant or a grain of corn or a grain of barley قال الله - تعالى - : ومن أظلم ممن ذهب يخلق كخلقي ؛ فليخلقوا ذرَّة ، وليخلقوا حبَّة ، وليخلقوا شعيرة
Riyad as-Salihin 1683
. It was narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim.
And from Hayyan ibn Husayn, who said: Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said to me: Shall I not send you with the same mission with which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me? Do not leave any image without erasing it, and do not leave any raised grave without leveling it. It was narrated by Muslim, Abu Dawud, and al-Tirmidhi.
The seventh hadith: From Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or an image. لا تدخل الملائكةُ بيتًا فيه كلبٌ ولا صورة
Sunan Ibn Majah 3649Sahih (Darussalam)
. It was narrated by al-Bukhari, Muslim, al-Tirmidhi, al-Nasa'i, and Ibn Majah. And in a narration by Muslim:
Angels do not enter the house in which there is a picture or portraits لا تدخل الملائكة بيتًا فيه كلبٌ ولا تماثيل
Sahih Muslim 2106f, 2107a
.
The difference between the narration of Muslim and the narration of the two Shaykhs is in the wording:
image صورة
and
Statues تماثيل
, and we mentioned in the previous lesson what we can understand from the fact that the disagreement between the two narrations, between the narration:
image صورة
and the narration:
Statues تماثيل
, is merely a verbal disagreement; because every image linguistically is a statue, and every statue is an image, contrary to what is common in the current custom that a statue is specific to three-dimensional images, so these are statues, thus the custom has proceeded to restrict the term "statue" to the three-dimensional image, whereas in the language there is no difference between a statue and an image, so whether the image is three-dimensional or not, it is an image and it is a statue, there is no difference between the two terms absolutely; so the narrationThe Shaykh : of the two Shaykhs:
The angels do not enter a house in which there is a dog or an image لا تدخل الملائكة بيتًا فيه كلب أو صورة
Sahih Ibn Hibban 45:7
does not differ from the narration of Muslim which contains:
a dog or statues كلبٌ أو تماثيل
.
