Laith says: I went to Salim bin Abdullah, he was reclining on a cushion, and on that cushion were pictures of birds and wild animals. I said: Are these not disliked? He said: No, the disliked form is that in which the pictures are placed upright. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated to me that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever makes pictures will be punished, and he will be tormented by being told to put a soul into them, while he will not be able to put a soul into them.
