Explanation of the hadith of 'Umar that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : First, from 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said
Those who make these pictures will be punished on the Day of Resurrection, and it will be said to them. 'Make alive what you have created.' إن الذين يصنعون هذه الصور يعذبون يوم القيامة يقال لهم أحيوا ما خلقتم
Sahih al-Bukhari 5951
It was narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim. This hadith forbids image-making and clarifies that it is among the major sins, because the Messenger (peace be upon him) explicitly states that those who make and draw these images will be punished on the Day of Resurrection. I say, by way of clarification, that the punishment is almost eternal, because they are punished when it is said to them, "Bring to life what you have created." If they could bring to life what they created, the punishment would end, but they will not be able to find a way to do so, as will come in some of the following hadiths. And we must note here that in the hadith there is a demonstrative pronoun
Those who make these pictures إن الذين يصنعون هذه الصور
Sahih al-Bukhari 5951
