The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful:
The author al-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) quoted in his book *Riyad al-Salihin*, in the chapter on anger when the law of Allah the Mighty and Majestic is violated:
We have previously spoken about the verses with which the author introduced this chapter. As for the hadiths, among them is the hadith of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): : meaning it contained images, : meaning the image-makers, they are the most severely punished people, because they intended to compete with Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) in His creation, in its depiction. In the past, they used to draw by hand, because they did not have machines or devices that capture images without manual work. So they would sketch, and the skilled one among them would draw an image by hand as if it were what Allah the Mighty and Majestic created, so that it would be said: 'How skilled this man is, and how knowledgeable he is in imitating the creation of Allah the Mighty and Majestic.' They wanted thereby to participate with Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) in His depiction, and He (Glorified and Exalted is He) has no partner: [Ali 'Imran 3:6], [Ghafir 40:64].
"He tore it" means he tore it up, peace and blessings be upon him. In this is evidence for the prescription of tearing up images that are drawn by hand, because they compete with the creation of Allah the Mighty and Majestic, and approving the wrong is like doing the wrong.
In it is anger when the sanctities of Allah the Mighty and Majestic are violated, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) became angry and tore it up.
As for the second hadith from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): it is about the story of the woman from the Banu Makhzum, who was a woman from the Banu Makhzum who used to borrow items and then deny having taken them. That is, she would come to people and say: 'Lend me a pot, lend me a vessel, lend me this, lend me that.' When they lent them to her, she would deny it and say: 'I did not take anything from you.' So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that her hand be cut off, because this is a type of theft. She was a woman from the Banu Makhzum, a tribe among the Arab tribes of importance and status. So the Quraysh were concerned about her matter, and they said: 'How can the hand of the woman from the Banu Makhzum be cut off?' Then they sought an intercessor to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), and they said:Sahih Muslim 1688b : his beloved, meaning the one he loves, meaning that he loves him. Usamah was Zayd ibn Harithah, and Zayd ibn Harithah was a slave whom Khadijah gifted to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), so he freed him. Usamah was his son, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) loved them both. They said: 'It is none other than Usamah ibn Zayd.' So Usamah ibn Zayd (may Allah be pleased with him) approached the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to intercede, and he rebuked him and said: Sunan Abi Dawud 4373Sahih (Al-Albani). Then he stood up and gave a sermon: he preached to the people and said to them, peace and blessings be upon him: Sunan an-Nasa'i 4899Sahih (Darussalam) : meaning I swear by Allah Sunan an-Nasa'i 4899Sahih (Darussalam). The point of this is that the Messenger, peace and blessings be upon him, became angry at the intercession of Usamah ibn Zayd in a limit of the limits of Allah. So anger for Allah the Mighty and Majestic is praiseworthy, whereas anger for revenge and self-interest is blameworthy. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade it when one of the Companions asked him to advise him, and he said: Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34:20. The difference between the two types of anger is clear: anger for Allah and for the laws of Allah is praiseworthy; it is part of the guidance of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and evidence of a person's jealousy and his love for establishing the law of Allah.
As for anger for the self, a person should restrain it and be forbearing. If anger overtakes him, let him seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan. If he is standing, let him sit, and if he is sitting, let him lie down. All of this is what alleviates his anger. And success is from Allah.
The author al-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) quoted in his book *Riyad al-Salihin*, in the chapter on anger when the law of Allah the Mighty and Majestic is violated:
We have previously spoken about the verses with which the author introduced this chapter. As for the hadiths, among them is the hadith of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her):
That the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) came from a journey, and he found that she had covered her terrace with a curtain in which there were images
أن النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم قدم من سفر ، فوجدها قد سترت سهوة لها بقرام فيه تماثيلSo the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) tore it up and informed that the most severely punished people on the Day of Resurrection are those who imitate the creation of Allah
فهتكه النبيّ صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم وأخبر: أن أشدّ الناس عذابا يوم القيامة الذي يضاهون بخلق اللهIt is He who forms you in the wombs however He wills.
هو الذي يصوّركم في الأرحام كيف يشاءformed you and perfected your forms
هو الذي صوّركم فأحسن صوركم"He tore it" means he tore it up, peace and blessings be upon him. In this is evidence for the prescription of tearing up images that are drawn by hand, because they compete with the creation of Allah the Mighty and Majestic, and approving the wrong is like doing the wrong.
In it is anger when the sanctities of Allah the Mighty and Majestic are violated, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) became angry and tore it up.
As for the second hadith from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): it is about the story of the woman from the Banu Makhzum, who was a woman from the Banu Makhzum who used to borrow items and then deny having taken them.

So the Quraysh were concerned about her matter, and they said: 'How can the hand of the woman from the Banu Makhzum be cut off?' Then they sought an intercessor to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), and they said:
the loved one of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
أسامة بن زيد حب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلمAre you interceding regarding one of the punishments prescribed by Allah ?
أتشفع في حدّ من حدود الله؟Those who came before you were destroyed because, whenever a noble person among them stole, they would let him go. But if a person who was weak stole, they would carry out the punishment on him. By Allah
إنما من كان أهلك من كان قبلكم أنهم كانوا إذا سرق فيهم الشّريف تركوه، وإذا سرق فيهم الضّعيف أقاموا عليه الحد وايم اللهif Fatimah the daughter of Muhammad were to steal, I would cut off her hnad.
لو أن فاطمة بنت محمّد سرقت لقطعت يدهاDo not become angry. He said: Advise me. He said: Do not become angry
لا تغضب، قال: أوصني، قال: لا تغضبAs for anger for the self, a person should restrain it and be forbearing. If anger overtakes him, let him seek refuge in Allah from the accursed Shaytan. If he is standing, let him sit, and if he is sitting, let him lie down. All of this is what alleviates his anger. And success is from Allah.
