Narrater: (Said bin Abu Al-Hasan) Hadidth No: (428)

While I was with Ibn Abbas a man came and said, ''O father of Abbas! My sustenance is from my manual profession and I make these pictures.'' Ibn Abbas said, ''I will tell you only what I heard from Allah's Apostle . I heard him saying, Whoever makes a picture will be punished by Allah till he puts life in it, and he will never be able to put life in it.' '' Hearing this, that man heaved a sigh and his face turned pale. Ibn Abbas said to him, ''What a pity! If you insist on making pictures I advise you to make pictures of trees and any other unanimated objects.''
