Clarifying the nature of the images mentioned in the hadith referred to therein, and this is through the remaining hadiths.

The Shaykh : And we must note here that in the hadith there is a demonstrative name: ; so what are the images that the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) referred to with this demonstrative name ?
Stopping at this name and attempting to understand it correctly removes much confusion and disturbance from some people who desire to know the jurisprudential truths when they hear some of today's authors and writers attributing all the hadiths that prohibit image-making to the making of three-dimensional images; that is, to carving idols. This is how they interpret the hadiths that prohibit image-making. So here, when the Messenger (peace be upon him) said: ; what are these images? Are they, as these people say, idols? I say: This is the furthest thing from the intention of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) in this hadith, and regarding this demonstrative name. Why? Because the Messenger (peace be upon him) said these hadiths in Madinah, where no trace of statues or idols remained to be mentioned at all; after Allah (Mighty and Majestic) granted victory to His Prophet with the conquest of Makkah and smashed the idols that were placed on the back of the Ka'bah; so shirk and its traces were completely extinguished. But remnants of images remained, which might one day be a cause for the return of shirk to the strength it had before the mission of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). So I strongly doubt that the Messenger (peace be upon him) meant by this demonstrative name the idols that He had abolished and smashed. The most likely meaning is that he meant images that were still prevalent and that Muslims were still keeping in their houses, in their palaces, in their tents, in their... and so on. So he (peace and blessings be upon him), when he said: , is referring to images that are standing and prevalent among the people.
This meaning is confirmed by the hadith of A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) that follows in some of its narrations and wordings, that the Messenger (peace be upon him), when he entered upon her and saw the curtains with images on them, said: ; so he is referring to those who draw images on the curtains, not to idols; because there were no idols in the house of the Lady A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her). So his saying: does not directly mean three-dimensional images, but rather means non-three-dimensional images, which the jurists call those that have no shadow. So if the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited these non-three-dimensional images, or those that have no shadow; then it is all the more so that he prohibits idols and statues at that time.
So by way of warning against dealing with these images in making and keeping, the Messenger (peace be upon him) says in this hadith and explains what is the punishment of those who make these images. He says: , which is an allusion to their continuation in punishment for as long as Allah wills. Their continuation in punishment varies according to the reality of faith in their hearts. So whoever dies among them as a believer, his faith will save him one day from being continued in his punishment in the Fire. And whoever dies considering permissible what Allah has prohibited, you have known from the previous explanation that he is a disbeliever, and that he will abide in the Fire forever.
This is the first hadith, and it is from the hadith of 'Umar which al-Bukhari and Muslim narrated.
