Explanation of the author's statement: "And both of them have a marfu' report from him: (Whoever makes an image in this world will be commanded to breathe life into it, and he will not be able to do so)."

The Shaykh : But the second hadith, which indicates his inability, shows that there is a limit to it. For this reason, he said "And both of them have a marfu' report from him

He who painted pictures in the world would be compelled to breathe soul in them on the Day of Resurrection, but he would not be able to breathe soul (in them).

من صور صورة في الدنيا كُلف أن ينفخ فيها الروح وليس بنافخ

Sahih Muslim 2110b

" meaning he was commanded , i.e., its meaning is that he is tasked with a command he cannot accomplish. What is the benefit of tasking him with a command he cannot accomplish? The benefit is the increase in his torment, the increase in his torment. If you ask, why does not Allah the Exalted torment him with whatever He wills without the torment being associated with this act? The answer is so that he may taste the recompense for what he did. And with this, their regret increases and their grief increases, because he is tormented by what he saw in this world as comfort for him, whether by acquiring wealth, or by pleasing a companion, or by creating and crafting, as there are people now who make images by coloring them with their hands, to the extent that you would say these people made them with machines because of the skill of their work. These people, without doubt, are elevated in this world for what they made, because they created this great creation. But this comfort, because it was in disobedience to Allah, became regret and remorse on the Day of Resurrection.
And his saying: Who tasks him?
The student: Allah

The Shaykh : Allah Mighty and Majestic, either He speaks to him or He commands the angels to speak to him. Attributing the action to Allah Mighty and Majestic, even though it is from the angels, is common.

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : Yes

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : Yes

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : Yes, the injustice... the apparent meaning of the wording is according to the number of images, even if the image is one, because this is in reality one image. This is one image, but how many times is the image-making? Okay, is he tormented once because the image is one?

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : No.

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : Yes, for every image. This is an image, but it is not the first one. So it is an image of a camel and an image of a camel and an image of a camel. So it returns to the action. This is the apparent meaning. I mean, for example, if he made an image of a camel ten times, it is an image, yes, one image-maker, but the image-making is multiple. So the wording is possible to mean that the meaning is with every image he made, meaning an image of a type other than the first, or meaning with every act of image-making. So this is the apparent meaning of the wording. Yes.

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : No, it is not. It is from his own action. As for the action of another, it may be from the category of punishing the one who caused it. As for the direct one, he...

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : Yes

The questioner : ... the men are complete.

The Shaykh : Yes, there is nothing wrong with it, but it has no eyes, no nose, no face, and nothing else.

The questioner : ...

The Shaykh : ... there is nothing. Yes, yes. But if he believes that it is a male and he wears a female's garment... okay.
