WHAT TO DO WITH A PORTRAIT

1734

“Ali, the son of Abi Talib said to me (Hayyan, the son of Hussain, ‘Shall I assign to you a task that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, assigned to me? Neither leave a portrait unerased, nor a grave higher than the span of a hand unleveled.’"

Muslim with a chain up to Hayyan the son of Hussain related this.
