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
(Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam). 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."
