Abu Zar’ah narrated: I entered a house in the company of Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), which was being built in Madinah for Sa’id or Marwan. When Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) performed ablution, he washed his hands up to the armpits and his feet up to the knees. I said to Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him): What is this? He replied: This is the utmost limit of purification (the final extent of attaining purity). The narrator stated: He saw a painter making a picture in the house, so he said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says: Who can be more unjust than the one who tries to create like My creation? Let them create a particle, let them create a grain.”
