Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ دَخَلَ عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَقَدْ اسْتَتَرْتُ بِقِرَامٍ فِيهِ تَمَاثِيلُ فَلَمَّا رَآهُ تَلَوَّنَ وَجْهُهُ وَقَالَ مَرَّةً تَغَيَّرَ وَجْهُهُ وَهَتَكَهُ بِيَدِهِ وَقَالَ أَشَدُّ النَّاسِ عَذَابًا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ الَّذِينَ يُضَاهُونَ بِخَلْقِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَزَّ أَوْ يُشَبِّهُونَ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ سَوَاءٌ.
English Translation
Aisha said: "The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) entered upon me while I had screened myself with a curtain that had images on it. When he saw it, his face changed color, and he tore it down with his hand and said: 'The most severely punished people before Allah, the Mighty and Glorious, on the Day of Resurrection will be those who imitate the creation of Allah, the Mighty and Glorious.' Or (he said) 'those who try to match (His creation).' Sufyan said: 'They are the same.'"
