باب نَقْضِ الصُّوَرِ
Sahih al-Bukhari 5953

Narrated Abu Zur’a:

l entered a house in Medina with Abu Huraira, and he saw a man making pictures at the top of the
house. Abu Huraira said, “I heard Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) saying that Allah said, ‘Who would be more unjust
than the one who tries to create the like of My creatures? Let them create a grain: let them create a
gnat.’ “Abu Huraira then asked for a water container and washed his arms up to his armpits. I said, “0
Abu i Huraira! Is this something you have heard I from Allah’s Messenger?” He said, “The limit for
ablution is up to the place where the ornaments will reach on the Day of Resurrection.’

حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَاحِدِ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَارَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زُرْعَةَ، قَالَ دَخَلْتُ مَعَ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ دَارًا بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَرَأَى أَعْلاَهَا مُصَوِّرًا يُصَوِّرُ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏”‏ وَمَنْ أَظْلَمُ مِمَّنْ ذَهَبَ يَخْلُقُ كَخَلْقِي، فَلْيَخْلُقُوا حَبَّةً، وَلْيَخْلُقُوا ذَرَّةً ‏”‏‏.‏ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِتَوْرٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ فَغَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ حَتَّى بَلَغَ إِبْطَهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ أَشَىْءٌ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ مُنْتَهَى الْحِلْيَةِ‏.‏
