PUNISHMENT OF PORTRAITS

|H 1728

“Whosoever relates he has a vision which he has not seen will be
called upon on the Day of Judgement to tie a knot between two
grains of barley.

Whosoever eavesdrops upon a people will have molten lead poured
into his ears upon the Day of Judgement.

Whosoever paints a portrait of a person will be punished and will be
called upon to breathe into it a soul which he will be incapable of
doing.”

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to ibn Abbas who related that the Messenger of
Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
